Truly a sad day for one of the pioneers of observational (i.e. subjective) reviewing.
He was bold enough to put his sonic observations to a vocabulary and was one of the few that succeeded in this difficult step.
His old reviews should be a model for those who aspire to make a review today. Critical thinking that is largely absent from the current crop of reviews.
Clearly the man was not perfect...who is? However, he did much for pushing the industry, IMO, towards a more natural sound and for that I thank him greatly.
