Although I rarely agreed with Art's choice of gear, I always read everything he wrote. I read it because Art was a superb writer and a joy to read. He wrote with intelligence, humility and humor. I would go so far as to read articles he wrote on matters far from anything I would ever need to know--like his series of articles about his reconstruction of a vintage turntable.
If Art wrote an article about how ice melts , I would read it because I could count on learning something about the process while smiling at some ironic observation in his prose. If E.B. White had been an audio scribe, he would have had nothing on Art. I will miss him very much.
