Moongfongos Garson Piel is an unsung genius. In point of fact, hes arguably the greatest audio designer who ever lived. Ive never spoken to the man personally, but I understand he doesnt like to have direct contact with his customers because theyre either too stupid or too uneducated to understand his design concepts. I say Amen to that, brother! Also, and I dont know whether this is true or not, it is reported that he is the only audio designer ever to have killed one of his customers. Scary... but cool!
Designer Hall of Fame
There are many great designers out there, and especially in the lore from the golden age, but I'm not to familiar with them. I thought it might be interesting to discuss some of the great designers for engineering skill and knowledge, business integrity, and ultimatley quality of their products. My short list a "hall of fame" if you will of designers working today are:
Nelson Pass, Pass Labs
Charles Hansen, Ayre
Roger Modjeski, Music Reference
Ken Stevens, Convergent Audio Technolgy (CAT)
Kevin Hayes, VAC
and how could I leave Jeff Rowland off? Well it is a short list. Who would you nominate?
