Just a little side note ...
Tim was putting together a system to demonstrate at the Capital Audio Fest using a pair of floor-standing speakers that he bought at an auction for $165.00. They are sold new at Best Buy for $1000.00.
He completely tricked out the speakers with PPT products. He even built the cables for the speakers, the ICs and the PC's. He made special room treatments and a huge power conditioner to use ... all done with current PPT products and new ideas that occurred to him as he was building the system.
His idea was to completely blow everyone at the show away using really inexpensive speakers that just about anyone could easily afford.
He sent me two of his experimental power cords to try out just for fun. I've got to say, they were absolutely stunning. After installing the power cords, one in the CD player and one in the phono stage, it was like placing another PPT Gate into the system. They were bulky, stiff and according to Tim, extremely difficult to build. I had them for three weeks before they had to be returned.
Returning them was like pulling two ribs out of my side.
Tim was a genius, no doubt.
RIP
Frank
