REST IN PEACE - TIM MROCK


RIP - Tim Mrock

It is with much sadness that I bring the news that Tim Mrock, the developer of Perfect Path Technologies, passed away at approximately 1 am on Monday morning 10/28/2019.

Tim succumbed to a fast-moving cancer. He leaves his capable partner Krissy to run the business and to continue producing the Perfect Path Technologies products.

Over the past few years, Tim and I have become good friends, often carrying on long telephone conversations discussing audio, new ideas to improve the hobby, and things of a spiritual nature.

Tim was a true genius, an inventor, a businessman, an entrepreneur, a deep thinker, an extremely hard worker, a generous person, and a man who truly loved his partner, Krissy.

With the conversations I had over time with Tim regarding his spiritual pathway, we can take solace in the knowledge that he is in a much better place. He was a man who loved his Lord with a passion. The names he gave to his company and to his products pretty much says it all.

I'm going to miss you, buddy.

Rest in peace, my friend.

littlecx, this is hardly the thread to be asking such things. Start a new thread if you're that concerned about it....
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

That is just so sad and so unfair.

My heart goes out to you Krissy.

Very Nicely said Frank.
Tim left piles of notebooks, ideas and inspiration. <3

I will continue to introduce new products to the audio industry; in collaboration with other companies and on our own. Just as Tim had planned.

A new product coming next week. Stay tuned, fellas.

Very sad to hear. For someone so innovative to come on the scene and leave the mark he did in so short a time makes me wonder what else he could have come up with.

All the best,

Wow,  I was so shocked when I heard the news earlier this week about Tim's passing. He was so full of life whenever I talked to him. He always went out of his way to talk to me on the phone and give me audio advice.  He felt like I friend to me. If I didnt live so far away, now Florida, I would have drive out to see his shop and rig. I am so glad to see that Krissy is able to take over the reigns from him. I also wish Krissy my heartfelt condolences. Rest in Peace Tim.
Although I was not a customer, from all I heard from those who dealt with Tim, I know he was a great guy and I am deeply sorry to hear this news.

Fly with the angels, my love. <3 

PPT will continue in Tim's honor.  A new product release and sale coming next week, and  the webpage will soon be updated with a beautiful tribute page. 

It's too important to stop, gentlemen. We've only just begun.  

Many thanks for the well wishes, they mean so much to me. 

Love,

Krissy Mrock
Perfect Path Technologies







I had many phone conversations with Tim prior to purchasing The Gate. We laughed at how many, in fact...
Tim was always gracious and excited to talk to me about products and the Hifi hobby. I felt like I was his most important customer, as I’m sure others felt as well. 
My heartfelt condolences to you, Krissy.  God Bless.
Sincerely,
Greg Cannava
Whoa, sad to hear this. May his memory be eternal. Peace be with Krissy during this time.
RIP to Tim

I feel sad to hear that bad news as customer of his nice products.

How old he was?
