Roger Alan Modjeski (RAM) 1951 - 2019

It is with great sadness that I announce Roger A. Modjeski passed away peacefully in his home in San Pablo, CA after an 12 month battle with cancer. Roger started Music Reference in 1981 and later RAM Tubes, The Tube Audio Store, and The Berkeley HiFi School. For more than 38 years he tirelessly ran his business and designed some of the most unique and well received audio components in the industry. Right until the near end Roger was working, designing, and teaching until he physically was unable to continue.

Fare thee well my friend.

Thanks Clio. Lovely tribute to Roger. 

I first crossed paths with Roger as a proud owner of Rm-9 mk I  serial#119 and ultimately had him upgrade with chokes and top plate fuse holders to what he called 1.5. 

Roger was generous with his time and knowledge as was pleased to share. I always regretted selling the Rm-9 mk 1.5 

After running down the OTL rabbit hole for several years, I returned to the MR family in 2011 when I purchased his hand built, cost no object Rm-9 Special Edition and haven't looked back since. EL 34 magic!!  So his legacy lives on each and every time I fire up my rig.

#RIP RM
