William Z Johnson passed away December 10th. An admirable man and fellow Minnesotan. Legendary equipment designed and built with a passion for excellence.
I bought my first ARC unit @1978. As the years have passed and even more gear has passed through, I have found that I always seem to return to Audio Research for my music. I never met the man but I did know him by his work. Thank you Mr. Johnson.
I'm saddened I missed this post. I was unaware of his demise until today.
A great man, still a great company, an extraordinary designer. Sadly, I never met him in person, but did on one occasion speak to him on the phone in regards to bi-amping. May he rest in peace.
