daverich4 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 This is too bad, I was a subscriber to Listener and really looked forward to his monthly column in Stereophile. https://www.stereophile.com/content/art-dudley-rest-peace?fbclid=IwAR002LAEboXhXzBHKWmrQpvIQBRsn53qTaM1CfeZ7zLFqZ7uFWsBP-Gjb4M Link to comment
JoeWhip Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Indeed. I had the pleasure of chatting with him at a CAF a few years ago. Seemed like a wonderful soul. RIP. daverich4 1 Link to comment

He wrote stuff that was INTERESTING. You know, like restoring turntables, giving new life to old field-coil speakers, etc. I will really miss him. And he was Stereophile’s best writer. beetlemania 1 George Link to comment

I thought his taste in musical reproduction was odd but his writing was very entertaining and honest. I was bummed that he didn’t become Editor when JA stepped down. Sorry to hear this news. Blessings and mercy upon his family.

jiminlogansquare Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I was always a fan of Art Dudley and considered him Stereophile's best asset. And wouldn't you know, just today - before learning of Art Dudley's passing - I was trading emails with someone who said he had stopped reading Stereophile five years ago. I was going to write back but didn't get around to it - You have your reasons for that, but what about Art Dudley? Surely his work makes Stereophile worth your time? (I had just completed reading what, as it turns out, was Mr. Dudley's last column for Stereophile). I am sure Art Dudley would have something funny, apposite and definitely worth reading to remark on that story, were he here. Which, sadly, he is no longer. Link to comment
Superdad Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Oh wow. This is very sad. Art and I were friendly on the phone over several decades. I think we were very close to the same age, and his daughter and our first child were born just months apart and have the same name. We chatted a lot about our babies. That was nearly 24 years ago.
