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.

RIP. And thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely with just an anonymous DIYer. I never thought to have such an extended technical discussion with such as yourself.
Sad to learn of Roger's passing! A brilliant designer of excellent tube gear! He designed the high-voltage direct-drive amps used in the Beveridge ESL speakers (which I heard in 1977 in CT at Audiocom). The Audio World will miss Roger!
