Description

Listening to music wouldn't be the same without the few talented individuals that put their effort, skills, and creativity into carefully voicing and designing the beautiful pieces in my system. Perfect to capture the music from different places and people.

And of course the journey wouldn't be as enjoyable without all the people and friends that I met along the way. Many thanks to everyone!

In heavy rotation:

- Tom Waits "Bad as me"

- Mal Waldron & Max Roach "Explorations"

Hello Rene,

I'd picked your brain some years ago when I was assembling my Abby system. Just wanted to say your system is looking absolutely gorgeous!

I'm still rocking my Abby's with my Fi 2a3 monoblocks (with Tamaura 7001s) and modified Eastern Electric Minimax, but reading your comments is really tempting me to explore some of the Sindo offerings.

I've managed to keep away from the insanity for the last couple years since moving (setup just never sounded right in this room), but since dropping some 165K Fostex drivers into my abbys (nearfield), the madness has returned!
