And now we have lost Meatloaf......

I remember seeing him in the Rocky Horror Picture Show
He was awesome in concert.  He always had a kick-ass band.  Another one bites the dust.  He was 5 months older than me.

Perspective.

Not a rock star or recognized by many, but Howard Dumble passed away on the 18th.

His amplifiers gave guitar voices to everyone from David Lindley to Eric Johnson , Stevie Ray, Joe Bonamassa, Larry Carlton, Eric Clapton, Robben Ford, Jason Isbell and so many more.

Thank you , Howard.

Jon Appleton and Betty Davis.

I am somewhat familiar with the Synclavier, but not its inventor.

And I am familiar with Miles Davis, but not his wife.

Lloyd Walker- A legend in audio. I use his High Definition Links ( a zobel network of sorts I believe) on my speakers to great effect.
Made an amazing turntable too- a bit out of my price range.

Another one gone. Lloyd's help was invaluable when I was first setting up my Maplenoll Ariadne TT.  Even though he was not the mgfr. of the table he knew everything about my turntable including tweaks and modifications to the design. He also took the time to explain all of the ins and outs of air bearing TTs. We had a number of very interesting conversations on the phone. It was hard to believe that he had the time to talk to a non-customer about
about a TT he didn't manufacture.
  We have lost a fine man and gold mine of very valuable information about TT design.

I was inquiring about some wires from Mapleshade, and was informed of the passing of Pierre Sprey. Another pioneer of sorts- I've used his speaker wires and his own produced cd's sound amazing. Somehow his death slipped under the radar in my audio readings... August 4th, 2021

I had no idea.  Pierre had unconventional methods of doing things that often produced very good results.

Bascom H King has passed away from pneumonia.

He was a true legend.

Sad to hear that Bascom has passed.   He was a legend.  :(

He taught me how to measure speakers with MLSSA.  That was a fun project.
