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.

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!
Very sad news indeed. I learned a lot from him through his contributions to this site and his videos. A great designer and teacher. Audio industry will miss such a talent.
