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?

There are many.... My top 5

Roger Modjeski
John Fusilier
Max Townshead
Modwright
Nelson Pass
Scott Frankland - without question. The only piece of gear I've never changed out. In fact, he's upgraded it twice.
Tom Willman and Pres Edmunds for their Chalice Audio 'Grail' SET monoblock amps...probably the BEST tube amps in the world..maybe the best amps ...period.
