Paul Grzybek Tube Audio Design Passing

My connections with Paul were limited: Grew up in Naperville where he started and am now enjoying his TAD-125s. I had level control noise problems with one of them and Paul was more than fair with the repairs. Based on almost nothing, Paul seemed like a real gentleman.

Wow. This makes me strangely sad. I did not know Paul in person, but I bought my hibachi amps from him. The emails we exchanged were very friendly and definitely chatty. It only took one for me to decide that he genuinely liked people, loved audio, and cared that people were happy with his products. He even asked me to send pics once everything was setup. His attitude alone convinces me that, once it was time to upgrade my preamp, I would be buying one of his. In fact, trying to find out why his website is down was what lead me to this thread. Rest in peace, Paul. You made a lot of people happy.

I just bought my first tube amp today -- a TAD-60, and only after trying to reach the links to information on the amp (http://www.angelfire.com/biz/bizzyb/TAD-60.html is frequently mentioned) and finding the links to be 404 did I learn that Paul passed away.

It would be nice to preserve the information on his original products online, such as instruction manuals, etc. since part of his audio legacy will be all the great equipment he created changing hands for years.

Paul was a great source of info and a great person to deal with....he will be missed.

My 2 TADAC's still going strong after years of use....

Paul hope you are listening up there in the sky....best!

Just ran across this..very sad. I traded a few emails with him after I picked up a TAD-150 Sig. I'm still running it today & it sounds great. He was very helpful..seemed like a nice guy.
