is a very cool guy and not only because I was a dealer for him. He has now dropped out of the audiophile market, preferring to build for the music trade instead.
He had many innovative ideas and experimented constantly, although I believe doing production work kinda bored him....
We used to chat occasionally exchanging ideas (I probably gained much more than I gave), but he was always pleasant to converse with and never discounted anything until trying them out first. Always open with his explanations also.
I still use his ideas on "String Nodal resonance" where by a weight attached to a cord (In his case power cords) could tune the tonality by sliding it up and down the length. He devised a contraption using washers and a wing nut to secure the weight of the washers. Close to the ends gave a distinctly brighter sound and the closer to the middle almost no effect at all. I liked the position about 9 inches from the end where the upper bass seemed to be best.
Of Course YMMV
