Paul Grzybek Tube Audio Design Passing

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.

I just came across this today as i was searching for Paul's contact information. I am deeply saddened to learn of hs passing. I knew Paul first as the quirky shopkeep of my favorite record store, I loved coming in not only because he stocked some of the best music in town, but because he was so much fun to hang out and chat with. When I think of my teenage years, Paul is always one of the standout characters. He was always kind, funny and full of interesting conversation. Sorry i havent much to add as far as Audio design goes, but Paul really meant a lot to me and i wanted to share just a little bit about him.
