Shortly before the demise of James Bongiorno in January, David Manley passed in France in December of last year. His company was VTL (Vacuum Tube Logic) and was famous for the quality tube amplifiers that he designed. He also had a pro- audio company, Manley Laboratories that made some of the finest tubed pro gear available to recording studios, and as of a few years ago has re-entered the home audiophile market with some unique and striking designs..
Microphones, compressor limiters, mic preamps and hifi amplifiers and integrateds other products continue to this day to be successful under the direction of his fifth (!) ex- wife, EveAnna Manley.
His son Luke currently runs VTL, and they are still very much alive in the audio world. David also had his own audiophile record label, ViTaL Records. He also will be sadly missed by the audio community.
