Vale Patrick Turner

Posted by FR Drew on May 20, 2021 at 23:48:19:
After many years of battling illness, Patrick Turner, the Canberra based valve/tube technician, builder and operator of turneraudio.com.au (a wealth of educational info on in-depth valve theory) passed away this week.

Those of us that knew him personally, and those who had interactions with him online will know what a character he was, and how willing he was to share his knowledge and advice.

I'm still somewhat stunned by the news. I knew how ill he was and that the prognosis was not good, but Pat always came across as an unstoppable force of nature.

Somewhere out there, Pat is now lecturing the notables of the audio world with how they got things wrong and why they shouldn't have cut corners.

You are missed already and the world is poorer for your passing.

Godspeed and happy listening.
