Just got word this morning that J. Gordon Holt, founder of Stereophile Magazine, passed away at his home in Boulder, CO yesterday (July 20).  Stereophile was one of the first “audiophile” magazines, and was launched by Holt in the 60s.  While he hasn’t been associated with the magazine for years, he is still fondly remembered by the audiophile community.  After Stereo Review and Audio, Stereophile was the first audiophile magazine I subscribed to, back in its smaller format.  While I could never afford all of the megabuck equipment, the music reviews were often worth the price of the magazine alone.  R.I.P, Mr. Holt!
