Passing of James Bongiorno

It saddens me to say Jim passed away on Jan 10th. Here is a link with some of his achievements. http://www.audioaficionado.org/news/18475-james-bongiorno-rip.html

I remember fondly the conversations I would have with him at the C.E.S. He was a very colorful person and was always recognizable even from a distance. He will be terribly missed.
R.I.P. Jim.

My first High End product ever was a Grandson of ampzilla. A couple years later I was a Sumo dealer. Met Jim a couple of times. He was bold, confident and very likeable. This minute, his last versions of Ampzilla and Ambrosia are still among the best you can buy... We'll miss you Jim

I liked Jim Bongiorno and owned several pieces of his equipment, but he was often full of shit. I will long remember his comment after some consumption of liquor that, "electrons don't know what wire the went through when they emerged." All of those present had a good time tearing this apart or exaggerating it.

RIP guy and have a good amp ready for me.

Upgraded incarnations of his first designs are still among the best you can buy imo.
