Chris Shepard gone?
« on: February 13, 2008, 04:32:00 PM »
Looks like Chris Shepard deleted his account on here  ???

I had never bought anything from Chris but we had pm'd a lot about various things and I always enjoyed chatting with him. It was nice to have a hi-fi dealer on here.

Sorry to see him go.

That is a drag.  I never had anything but positive dealings with him.  I know he took a lot of shit on this board though.  Not all undeserved, but still.....

Has anyone emailed him?  Chris is a great guy.  I bought my cables, amp, speakers, and turntable from him.  Beyond his business Chris and his brother Dale have been a huge part of the taping community for years recording countless Allman Brothers and Derek Trucks Band shows.  I hope everything is okay.

as near as I can tell it happened yesterday or maybe late on Tuesday.

The website is still up, http://eugenehifi.com/

Looks like he just left ts.com

I wonder why? He always had high negative tickets for no apparent reason, I hope some troll didn't run him off.

UPDATE - I modified the thread title to be more accurate, wouldn't want to give anyone the impression that the store itself is gone.

i noticed this yesterday as well

he got into some heated cable discussions and a lot of people pegged him for just trying to sell overpriced cables

i think he had a lot to offer and always seemed willing to help out members here with demos, deals etc

hope he comes back eventually

Until the mods do something about this BS ticket thing this will continue to happen.  I'm an alias just to counteract a troll I have.  It's one thing to T someone for an offensive post but any other reason is out of line and ought to be stopped.  Why can't they just ad a script to show who is t'ing you?  Seems reasonable to me.  Would stop trolls in their tracks.

Chris is a wealth of knowledge and a very big help, even though i've never bought a thing from him.  I hope he comes back.

what a shame.

Chris is the kind of guy that gives out hugs instead of handshakes at shows.  Beyond that the guy is a dTb taper legend with taping info just oozing out of him. 

Shame on whoever it was that made him feel like leaving.
 

EDIT: and I agree about the tickets, get rid of them.
