Yes, I’ve been reading Anthony’s audio reviews since the early '80s, and would watch his Middle East and global analyses on the news. Quite a breadth of talent and interests.

Not a surprise for me in regard to his writings on hifi, maybe it depends on your age.
If anyone is curious, tons of stuff here.

Anthony H. Cordesman, who died on January 29, was a well respected national security analyst.

But he was also an audio reviewer. I read his thoughtful review of the Meridian Sooloos system in The Absolute Sound 2010, which made me go out and buy it. I rapidly retired my other sources and lived with Sooloos alone — my own CDs, we didn’t have streaming services. And then Sooloos grew up and became Roon, and I’m exclusively Roon.

Thank you, Anthony. R.I.P.
