Paul Weitzel from Tube Research Labs

will TRL continue as a company?

RIP Paul. Thanks for the work you have done for us.

I found this thread much later. I am still not over this. My heart still hurts. I did not listen to my system for a long time. But I am listening now. Every time I hear Paul through music.

Here's a quote from TRL home page with which I couldn't agree more.

"Tube Research Labs typically does not publish traditional measurements on it's equipment's performance. These measurements illustrate how machines hear, not how humans hear. We probably are years away from having measurements which we can really associate to or correlate with the listenability of a device."

It's seems silly to me to discard all measurements just because sometimes measurements don't correlate with what we hear, or expect to hear. Certainly, measurements do often explain what we hear.
