This one hurts a good amount. RIP Chris Sommovigo, only 55.
Say what you want about cables, but he did some amazing work over the years, some at dirt-cheap prices; some of my favorite cables have been his inexpensive trials, prototypes for some of his later designs. I have been a fan & customer for more than 2 decades, we conversed a bit about his move to Japan and then back again to the US to help his ailing mother, amongst several other things. A supremely decent human being for sure....
Very sad to hear....RIP
