I reached out to TAD last week on a setup question only to learn from his wife Kathy that Paul had passed in 2012. My last interaction with Paul was in Jan 2012 just prior to his death when he did a tube change and fluff and buff on my TAD-150. Ironically I am sitting here now listening to Telarcs recording of Oscar Peterson meet Roy Hargrove and Ralph Moore through the TAD-150 while receiving the news of his passing. I'm sure his pair of NOS output tubes is still glowing warmly somewhere.
Warmest regards to Kathy and his family.
