RIP Peter Pan

23 replies
  Many of you will know Peter Pan - especially from his drawings of (B&O) cabling and (B&O) setups in general. So I thought I’d let you know that Peter has passed away on April 1 this year. He had suffered quite a long time from several diseases and was in the last weeks sleeping/resting most of the time. Finally he now has found peace - he died sleeping in his bed in the night to April 1.   I have known Peter for many years now and have had many chats and discussions (per email or phone) with him - not only about B&O-things. We have been writing on the same (danish) forums - actually this was how we ‘met’ some 15 years ago. Thereafter I did visit him regularly one or two times a year. He lived in Hillerød north of Copenhagen, which is relatively far from where I live.   Peter was very productive, indeed incredibly productive. Since around 2005 he has had several threads on many (danish) forums, some of the biggest are: and: and here: I am sure I’ll miss him - he was a dear friend…….even if we disagreed on many things. We have had many a fierce discussion, but always in a friendly way - that was how Peter was……he liked intense, heated discussions!     He posted right up to his last days - after getting help to change place from the sofa/bed to his beloved PC corner. This was one of his last post:   Maybe these few words can give you some insight in the person behind Peter Pan. Those of you, who understand danish (or are patient enough to google translate his threads) can find much information there and also a lot of amusement.   So now rest in peace Peter - we are many who worship, what you have created in the last 20 years…..which now remains for us.   MM

Sad news indeed - thank you for letting us know MM, and for giving us some heartfelt background information about Peter's life and loves. I really enjoyed Peter Pan's hifi4all threads and visited his posts many times (albeit with Google Translate) to check correct cabling whilst experimenting with new setups, as well as looking for new ideas.  I too was impressed that gave extensive help to those with the much newer products, whilst remaining (understandably) set-in-his-ways regarding his legacy, BV7-based system. He'll be missed, but I look forward to making use of his excellent work for many years to come.

May it be a need for multi-room setups up there. I had a little "silent friction" with him when he repost a photoshop picture of a Wall mounted Beovision Harmony that looked like an Ikea foldable side table I did without crediting me. Appart from that I believe his drawings are still constantly looked for by guys like me, Guy, Madskp and many others… Thanks MM. I'd like to know many of you before having to read your life on Beoworld because you're not there anymore. This is Beoworld.

His connection drawings is inded great for inspiration, and will hopefully continue to be. To his credit many of them show up in google picture search even when I search in english. I did not know him only followed his thread when he had one in the Nordic forum here on Beoworld. May he rest in peace

Thanks for letting us know MM. I will remember his contributions to the forum with sometimes hilarious photoshop exercises but mostly with very helpful insights and visuals. Always worth a read. I do like his stubbornness to stick with what he needed, changing just to change is not always good. It's nice to know you had this special friendship going on!

Thanks very much for the background and context to Peter and his life (both B&O and more generally).   A salient reminder to all, myself especially, that life is full of diverse characters, many of whom can share the same hobby.  So, many thanks for your nicely reflective post. Pass on best wishes from, I'm sure, the broader community.
Sad news, but thanks for all the context MM. I always thought Peter's diagrams and pictures were brilliant, and needed no language translation. Graham
Sincere condolences to Peter's family. This is sad news. Yes, his diagrams were very explicative.  He was also quite active in the recordere.dk forum (I don't read Danish, but I used Google translate to follow his quite colorful discussions). By the way, I still have my BV7-MkIII, which is now in a bedroom. The set had developed  a backlight problem (picture went off after 30 minutes) and tuner issue (required to "warm up" before working), but thanks to a donor set that was kindly given to me by my dealer, I was able to fix it. I will eventually post pictures and details in the workbench sub forum. Again, sincere condolences to Peter's family Regards, Jean

Very nice post, Millemissen.  I'm not sure I ever knew of him, but of course even I have seen his diagrams. Ave atque vale.
Sad news indeed...
PLEASE READ before sending me a Personal Message. If you have questions about or problems with B&O equipment, these should be directed through your dealer and/or B&O's Customer Service department. I cannot be a "short circuit", bypassing these communication channels. Thanks -geoff
