Bob Crump has passed away

[Tazzy]

I have no idea who Bob Crump is or was and what he has meant for the community.

What makes me sad to some extend is that this thread didn't inspire anyone to make a post a reply.

Anyway, Bob Crump I wish you a safe journey to the afterlife &
Goodluck for those you leave behind

I also had no idea who Bob was...until I did a Google search....

From http://www.chicagoaudio.org/newsletters/cas0399.html

Bob Crump has been around the audio community for quite a few years, having special interests in cabling and various tweaks such as mechanical isolation. A native of Evanston, Bob lives in Houston, Texas and is visiting Marty before they drive up together for our meeting. Bob will show the new CTC Blowtorch preamp (CTC stands for Curl-Thompson-Crump), and it is a no holds barred solid state design. Bob will demonstrate it (line stage only, phono stage coming) along with his latest upgrade of the Vendetta Research phono stage (also designed by John Curl and Mr. Thompson). You be the judge of what the designers have accomplished. Bob is a lot of fun and knows what he's talking about.

But this time things would be different. Parasound CEO Richard Schram, eager to produce a bulls-to-the-wall flagship amplifier, commissioned John Curl to bring in Bob Crump and Carl Thompson, his partners in CTC Builders, to create a truly great amplifier that could sell for a less-than-stratospheric price tag. CTC Builders might be thought of as a three-headed design superhero -- Curl designs the circuits, Thompson engineers the board layouts, and Crump selects all of the parts, wires, etc., and voices the final product.

R.I.P. Mr. Crump

Bob Crump was also TG Audio´s founder.
A great guy, he wouldn´t mind sharing his knowledge with us.

This is where I "knew" Bob from originally:

It was later known as the Asylum Cord.

A sad loss to the Audio World indeed.

Rest in piece Mr. Crump.

In that link some words are highlighted as search results.

Bob started by kindly greeting these asylum mates ("Olá Jose and Sean").
I´m none of them but that´s what I always remembered to help keeping track of the post.

Here´s a "right" link:

Thanks a bunch, Al.
Maplin no longer carries it, i've been searching myself silly.
RS in Holland does not carry this one, neither does Romal.
However, RS in the UK and Germany do, i forgot to check RS international.
Cheapest i found in the US was Markertek, at $219.90 for a 250 feet rail.
Think it will last me for the remainder?
