REST IN PEACE - TIM MROCK

RIP - Tim Mrock

It is with much sadness that I bring the news that Tim Mrock, the developer of Perfect Path Technologies, passed away at approximately 1 am on Monday morning 10/28/2019.

Tim succumbed to a fast-moving cancer. He leaves his capable partner Krissy to run the business and to continue producing the Perfect Path Technologies products.

Over the past few years, Tim and I have become good friends, often carrying on long telephone conversations discussing audio, new ideas to improve the hobby, and things of a spiritual nature.

Tim was a true genius, an inventor, a businessman, an entrepreneur, a deep thinker, an extremely hard worker, a generous person, and a man who truly loved his partner, Krissy.

With the conversations I had over time with Tim regarding his spiritual pathway, we can take solace in the knowledge that he is in a much better place. He was a man who loved his Lord with a passion. The names he gave to his company and to his products pretty much says it all.

I'm going to miss you, buddy.

Rest in peace, my friend.

That is just so sad and so unfair.

My heart goes out to you Krissy.

Very Nicely said Frank.

Just a little side note ...

Tim was putting together a system to demonstrate at the Capital Audio Fest using a pair of floor-standing speakers that he bought at an auction for $165.00. They are sold new at Best Buy for $1000.00. 

He completely tricked out the speakers with PPT products. He even built the cables for the speakers, the ICs and the PC's. He made special room treatments and a huge power conditioner to use ... all done with current PPT products and new ideas that occurred to him as he was building the system.

His idea was to completely blow everyone at the show away using really inexpensive speakers that just about anyone could easily afford.

He sent me two of his experimental power cords to try out just for fun. I've got to say, they were absolutely stunning.  After installing the power cords, one in the CD player and one in the phono stage, it was like placing another PPT Gate into the system. They were bulky, stiff and according to Tim, extremely difficult to build. I had them for three weeks before they had to be returned.

Returning them was like pulling two ribs out of my side. 

Tim was a genius, no doubt.

RIP
