Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend


I regret to inform all those who may have followed these discussion boards for the past two years that my friend and fellow Audiophile Paul Rosenthal who is known to you as Pubul57 has passed away suddenly earlier this week.

I was happy to know him for the past ten years in Baltimore and he exposed me to a plethora of equipment, advice and insight during that time.

Paul loved many fine things and had many great friends. I know he cherished the time he spent on Audiogon with all of you.

I know I cherished the time I spent with him, he was like the big brother I never had.

I hope you will continue debating what the best source is, or when is absence presence and remember our friend Paul; audiophile, philosopher, and friend.

May he rest in piece.

If anyone knows how to contact his family, it might be nice to refer them to this thread to know how appreciated Pubul57 was here.
I know this family is aware of how important Audiogon was to Paul, and I also know that they now know how important Paul's contributions have been to so many on Audiogon. I miss him alot, and I know that everyone that cared about him appreciates all the kind words.
As a fellow Merlin owner, he contacted me on my cellphone, but I didn't return his call. I wish I had as it's still on my voicemail.
I just saw this about Paul and I am saddened that we have lost someone who was always friendly, reasoned, and knowledgeable. I could tell from his posts, and our sometimes interactions on finding just the right preamp, that he was a solid and trustworthy individual. My condolences to Paul's family and friends.
I've been meaning to ask how his family is holding up, Audiodynamo. Can you provide an update, please?

At any rate, if you do have contact with them, please let them know Paul is in our thoughts and prayers.
