OMG! This is terrible news.
I just purchased a whole slew of Townshend Audio gear and John had told me that Max was having health issues but it seemed Max was on the mend. I may have the last thing that Max laid his hands on and built.
I was having issues with my Rowland Model 12’s that were connected to my Allegri Reference preamp through F-1 Fractal interconnects. There was a DC ground loop where my speakers would pop when the Model 12’s were turned on.
After consulting with Jeff Rowland about it, Max made me a new set of interconnects with DC blockers in the middle that he built for me early/mid December.
I am so sad. He was a great innovator and great man.
