Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend


I regret to inform all those who may have followed these discussion boards for the past two years that my friend and fellow Audiophile Paul Rosenthal who is known to you as Pubul57 has passed away suddenly earlier this week.

I was happy to know him for the past ten years in Baltimore and he exposed me to a plethora of equipment, advice and insight during that time.

Paul loved many fine things and had many great friends. I know he cherished the time he spent on Audiogon with all of you.

I know I cherished the time I spent with him, he was like the big brother I never had.

I hope you will continue debating what the best source is, or when is absence presence and remember our friend Paul; audiophile, philosopher, and friend.

May he rest in piece.

This is awful news!!! I always learned to much from his posts or his replies to others' posts. I didn't always agree with him but I found so much to admire in his knowledge and style. Very sorry to hear this!
I always enjoyed reading his posts and his passion for OTL sound. I will miss his contributions here!!!! Condolences to his family and friends!!! Very sad news!!!
Paul and I shared several private emails over the years, discussing things Merlin, tube amps (OTL esp.) and more. His insight, passion, and civility have been and will continue to be a model for us all. A real mensch! I was looking forward to meeting him at a show someday and will miss his presence here on the 'gon. My condolences on the loss of your friend, Audiodynamo and please pass on my condolences to his family. I hope they get some comfort from knowing how many people who never met Paul in person, considered him a friend and respected him as a human being.
If anyone knows how to contact his family, it might be nice to refer them to this thread to know how appreciated Pubul57 was here.
I know this family is aware of how important Audiogon was to Paul, and I also know that they now know how important Paul's contributions have been to so many on Audiogon. I miss him alot, and I know that everyone that cared about him appreciates all the kind words.
