I am saddened to hear of Gizmo's passing. I just started subscribing to LISTENER early this year mainly because of his entertaining and relevent writings and I will truly miss him. In the short time I've been exposed to his words, I have been enlightened to enjoy the music more and the equipment with a different perspective. It's strange when someone who is not that much older than oneself passes away. I'm guessing from his writings and picture to be in his early fifties. You always wonder what was the reason. On the lighter side, he always hated solid state amps, so maybe he was forced into an all night listening session on some bad ss gear and this was the only escape. Gizmo, the music you hear now will be the best ever, better than triode. Happy listening.
