In Reply to: Sorry to report that in looking for the interview of Mr. Wingate, it appears he passed away. I stumbled posted by cfb on July 3, 2011 at 07:59:41:
I did a big internet search for him. He has a website (with the call letters of him ham radio license) that has not been updated in a while. There were usenet groups with many complaints against his on-the-air (apparently drunken) rants. There is a YouTube video where he strung his antenna through a neighbors yard including a foul-mouthed verbal confrontation. He has a Linked-In page that details his employment history with Wingate Audio. And there is a Facebook page (linked below). I sent several messages on the Facebook message system with no reply. I figured he was in jail or something. If he is now dead, that is truly a shame.
He clearly made a small, but important contribution to high-end audio and it would have been fascinating to speak with the man about it. Do you have a link to the obituary?
