Jay Gordon Holt

This is a great loss to the audiophile/multichannel community, and I for one have missed his opinions since he stopped reviewing. His candid, honest and accurate observations have been a source of inspiration and guidance for me since I first picked up a Stereophile and read about others who could "hear a difference" and the difference mattered. This was many years ago, in the "small mag. Stereophile " days. Jay Gordon Holt, you will be missed......Jallen

Sorry to hear about about this.....and I didn't realize that he had passed on. I read alot of his aricles through the years and used his opinions about audio - as a guide in setting up my systems.

As an aging audiophile who remembers 45's and the introduction of cassette, I have to say I learned a lot from J. Gordon Holt. When Stereophile was still a small, little known publication for a small, little audio population; I became interested in Hi-Fi. The decades have gone by and reproduction of recorded music on audio systems continues. Technologies change, but the goal remains the same. Mr. Holt, thank you.
