So sorry to read this.
David Manley was one ofthe best gurus of tube audio electronics of the 20th century.
I am the very proud owner of a unit he designed with passion, the 300B Neo Classic preamp. The 300B sound is all about Pleasure and Excitement. The opposite of sterile HiFi. Each time I turn it on, I am rewarded by a fabulous and one of a kind sound that must be heard to understand. Like Shindo, very hard to describe in words.
To me, David was the american Shindo.
He was living in Paris but I never had the chance to meet him.

Rest In Peace David.
My deepest condolences to the family.
