HAD Audio Lab is no more

I emailed this nice Croatian tube amp builder to quote an 6C33 SE and was informed by a gentleman they are out of business due his founder and chief engineer Eng.Dražen Markešić passed away in 2014.

This is really bad news for the audiophiles and music lovers as this builder was doing a wonderful set of tube amps at realistic prices as headphone amps, tube preamps and two outstanding sound quality SE amps an 6C33 around $1500 and a GM70 around $2500.
Very disappointed.
RIP

Guess that's why it was called "HAD" Audio.

This got me thinking, is there anybody else out there that makes a GM70 or 6C33C amp or integrated?
