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.
Didn't know him personally but his great customer service was exceeded only by his design prowess and dedication and to his simply executed but eminently musical gear.
My hopes and prayers are with him and his family during this difficult time.
