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.
