Wow, what a bummer. R.I.P. He will surely be missed a lot. And by a lot of people.

What a great quote from Mr. Dudley:
“Music is easy to miss for the listener who thinks his job is to concentrate on the sound."

Re: Art Dudley, R.I.P.
Posted this on Facebook, under Paul's thread re Art yesterday:
Oh my.... I first met Art at Bob Visintainer's shop back in 2001, when I was the distributor for Avantgarde Acoustic. What a class act.
After he stopped producing Listener and went to Stereophile, I always read his articles first, even if it meant searching a bit for them. He made a lasting mark on our audiophile community, in the best possible way.DPT4ME - Dynamics, Presence & Tone for Musical Engagement; MBP (3) - stripped down for music only; Shunyata Omega & Sigma USBs; ISO REGEN w/short Curious USB links; Berkeley Alpha USB; Aqua La Scala II Optologic DAC; Schiit Yggdrasil - fully updated; Ayre Codex dac - updated; Pass Labs INT-60 integrated amp; Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE-2 preamp, Quicksilver Mono 120 amps w/Tung-Sol KT150s; Quicksilver Mid Mono amps w/Gold Lion KT77s; Fyne Audio 703s; Symposium Svelte Plus & Ultra Platforms; REL S-812 subwoofers; Duelund DCA12GA speaker cables; AV Room Service EVPs, Stein Music Harmonizers, Duelund DCA16GA & 20GA ICs; Shunyata Denali 6000S/V2; Tripp Lite PCs; Wyred 4 Sound power cords; AudioDharma cable cooker; dedicated custom room; various GIK & ASC room treatments; etc.

Re: Art Dudley, R.I.P.
Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but sharing John Devore's Youtube from July.
Art Dudley's excellent record collections are on sale on ebay. Proceeds from the sale are to help his family.
