Designer Hall of Fame

There are many great designers out there, and especially in the lore from the golden age, but I'm not to familiar with them. I thought it might be interesting to discuss some of the great designers for engineering skill and knowledge, business integrity, and ultimatley quality of their products. My short list a "hall of fame" if you will of designers working today are:

Nelson Pass, Pass Labs
Charles Hansen, Ayre
Roger Modjeski, Music Reference
Ken Stevens, Convergent Audio Technolgy (CAT)
Kevin Hayes, VAC

and how could I leave Jeff Rowland off? Well it is a short list. Who would you nominate?

Don Garber.

The X amp (and all the others, too): the Y pre and Yph, the WE421A, the mono's...all of them classics, and affordable.

Art meets science.

Listen to his work. Look at it while listening. There's a message there, although I still haven't figured out what it is. From Bauhaus to your house. For a song (and a six month wait).
