Oh, no! Art Dudley's gone...

This was terrible news to me. Art was much more than just a writer, at least to me. It was mainly due to his influence that I came back to vinyl, restored an old Garrard 401, built a plinth, mounted a tonearm. I never knew back in earlier days of HiFi just how great analog could sound. His influence also caused me to change speaker systems from Dynaudio Contour 5.4, to my custom-built Tannoy HPD's, and then tube amps. Basically all my gear is now tube based, and finally I found what I was hoping for in the last forty plus years. For that I will always be grateful for Art's tremendous skill, knowledge, humor, and wit.

Loved him. RIP Art.

Loved reading Art. Definitely one of the best and most accessible writers ever.

God Bless and Keep Art.

R.I.P. Art Dudley.

Dave Slagle is helping Art's widow sell off a Slagle / EMIA SUT. Anyone looking for a great SUT at a fair but not cheap price should take a look here.

His widow has also listed Art’s Audio Note AN-Vx interconnects on EBay.

It was sad to read the ads.

I had never read Listener mag, but enjoyed Art's pieces in Stereophile. Stumbled across this today, and it kind of reinforces the sense of loss his passing created.

I wish there were a way to get the *entire* Listener catalog online - hell, I'd even pay a subscription fee as unfortunately I only have 4 or 5 issues.

... and I have zero of 'em.
I'd like to get the series, too.
