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.

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.

Stunned and saddened by this.

I was fortunate enough to have Roger help me get my Beveridge loudspeakers back to working condition. He was a brilliant engineer in the world of audio. 

Condolences to his family.
