Another Audiophile obituary

I just saw this today. Peter wasn't popular with many audiophiles due to his position and attitude. I did subscribe to his magazine for awhile though. Joe

I was also saddened to hear of the passing of reviewer Alvin Gold last week. I really enjoyed his intelligent and entertaining reviews. He was one of my favorites.

Kind of like a recovering alcoholic who now lectures everyone on the evils of drinking. Alvin Gold, being British, really knew his hi-fi. I hope Ken Kessler writes a piece on him.

RIP good man. Peter was more of a mystery to me, seemed to have an agenda, but what's new? Sorry to hear of any good writer's passing.
