Newman Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I would like to read any stories or reports from past or present Manley/VTL owners. (Founder David Manley passed away on Boxing Day and his memorial in France is tomorrow.)
Volunteer sir sanders zingmore Posted January 3, 2013 Volunteer Posted January 3, 2013 He sounds like quite a character The picture I have of him is a guy with a non-filtered cigarette his mouth," says Luke. "My dad was so full of bravado that I once heard him say, 'It's not when I die, it's if I die.' His recurrent bouts with alcohol were complicated by bipolar disease. Sometimes he would get painfully up, and when he became manic he'd make poor financial decisions. As a result, he didn't achieve what he should have achieved." http://www.stereophile.com/content/david-manley-tube-amplifier-pioneer-has-died

LogicprObe Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I think he was totally nuts in the end. That said.........sad to see his passing. A lot of good gear was made because of him.
