RIP Art Dudley

Oh, this is a shock. He was my favorite Stereophile writer, along with Herb Riechert. Just the perfect balance of humor, focus and just humanity. I shared his taste in reproduction and just think he was a pleasure to read. I always gravitated toward his columns first.

He will leave a gaping, quiet  hole in the Stereoplile staff, and I am really, really going to miss that guy!  

How sad a wonderful person and a great reviewer.RIP.

Loved his magazine in the 90's as well as his reviews. He brought a lot to the table and will be missed. 

Art was a great influence on me. He turned me from a tight-assed sand-head to a lover of tubes, and back again to turntables (along with Mikey F). I'm enjoying the sound of my system much more now due to him doing a wash and rinse of my opinions regarding tube equipment and analog.

His passing has caused me a sadness I didn't know I'd have, I guess I could say I have had some love for the writer and person that was Art Dudley. I will miss him a great deal.

Rest-in-peace, Art

Sad for so many reasons. Young man and given the current health crisis, a proper funeral is not possible. 
Had the pleasure to meet him briefly in Manhattan ages ago 

RIP
