Very sad news - George Wright has died


George Wright, a veritable giant in the industry, has died. Aside from building amazing audio components, George was above all, a sweetheart of a person. He came to our house a handful of times, usually spending the day, petting the dogs, savoring a soda, and listening to music. He was a hang-out, storytelling man with a heart of gold.

Every so often, George would call up just to chat about audio, and ask if we still loved the amps. He was tickled that my wife would tell him of her favorite 2A3, or 6SN7, and that she could so eloquently put the character of his amplifiers into words.

George, you will be missed terribly.

George was a true artisan...a man who had a passion to create and build quality products at affordable prices - an all-too-rare commodity these days. I own a WPP-200C, and the phone calls with him before that purchase revealed a man who loved what he did and was willing to share his time and knowledge with others.

He will TRULY be missed.
