Default Passing of William Zane Johnson
I have seen that William Johnson, founder of Audio Research passed away at the age of 85 yesterday. Another industry pioneer has left us. Trying to confirm.

I saw this, this evening...heartfelt sympathies to his family.

Jim, my apologies, didn't see your thread, and I started one in the Audio Research forum.
