Art Dudley passed away. Rest in Peace

Also my favorite audio writer.  A couple of years ago, Art and I had a nice discussion about selling my dad's collection of 78's (ultimately I offered to give Art the collection for free, but it never quite happened).  I have been a fan since the Listener. He turned me on to lower power, higher efficiency gear, and changed how I think about audio forever.  He will certainly be missed!  

Chakster,
Thank you for sharing this news.  I have always enjoyed reading Art Dudley articles.  Curiously enough, most of the time his views and mine differed.  That was OK, though.  He was a philosopher really and he will be missed.

He didn’t seem to be sick; his last video published on utube dates back to a month ago.
RIP

According to Ken Micallef latest tribute video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43SkhoVjefc&feature=push-fr&attr_tag=UEa5mQVZgEK6L4kV%3A6

Art only found out that day the video was shot.  Approx.  the first week of March.  

Sad to hear. One of the originals from way back.  I always enjoyed reading his articles and reviews. I thought about it and didn’t realize i followed his reviews for so long. He help inspire me to take vintage gear serious.
