Adam I am in complete shock, personal circumstances means I haven't been keeping as close an eye on stuff recently so missed this.
I was very privileged to hear some of Murray's designs and in a small way via a few reviews help share his little known genius to a wider audience. I am deeply saddened by this news as a great audio designer has left us.
RIP Murray
Regards Neil
Sad, sad news this
RIP Murray, god bless...
I too missed this. So sorry to hear of Murray's passing. R.I.P.

murray (jack williams) is having his funeral service tomorrow wedensday 1.30 pm new zealand time or 5.30am uk time i work nights so i will be up thinking of him.
thanks to neil for starting this thread and allowing murrays friendship and fun for us all to read
Folks wanting to pay their respects can do so by leaving a message/signing it/or lighting a candle on Murray's guest book here http://www.legacy.com/guestbooks/nzh....neMONwbU.dpbs
If it wasn't for you Francis arriving down with his amps I would not have heard them, wrote about them and no one outside New-Zealand would be any the wiser. My big regrets are One not pushing Murray harder to do an interview - I did try - Two not buying a 6A3 or one of his other designs and Three not getting to meet him in the flesh.
Sad day.

hi all,
team assembled yesterday to begin clearing out
murray's house...
will be quite a job to sort out the workshop and
storeroom - many treasures amid much other
material.
hopefully a few last items from ecofan can
be completed with the help of the other bods
on the project,
further reports to come,
regards,

hi all,
just reporting in - first pass of storeroom complete
many loudspeaker drivers from last 70 years or so
a few treasures - asstd spares and old radio works
and cabinets - transmitting valves - garrards (2)
and a great many old transformers.
also generations of ecofan material - including a
couple of full sets of transformers - of course
unlabelled - but possibly one for an sv-811-10
amp and a bsea - will let y'all know after testing.
won't be easy to have amps finished but we have
a good team here to help untangle murrays work.
kind regards,
adam
