The passing of William Zane Johnson
I just received an update from The Audio Beat, and I see that William Zane Johnson, Audio Research founder, died, last Saturday, at the age of 85.
The Audio Beat - William Zane Johnson, 1926-2011 - Audio Research founder William Z. Johnson passes away My sympathies go out to his family, and my thanks go out, in his memory, for the contributions he made to the industry. NOTE: I realize that I started a duplicate thread about his passing. The initial thread is, here: http://www.audioaficionado.org/news/...tml#post239945
