From the Halcyon days of high end audio. You rarely see any of your stuff come up for sale - for good reason! The Futterman's are super-cool.

Enjoy!

Great looking room and system. Nice to see a SA-10.
Beautiful CD rack.

Very nice system! Those Stax F83 are a real treat to see.  Very refined and extremely musical.  Love the Klyne preamp and although I'm not familiar with the NYAL OTLs, I couldn't imagine anything other than a tube amp on the Stax!

Glorious sounds about right!
