Chris Sommovigo has passed away


I just read that Chris passed away on 8/16. It was posted in reference to a new audio show start-up on PTA. I bought various cables from Black Cat Cables/Chris for many years and always received a hand-written note, prompt service, and a great set of cables. 

There is a GoFundMe site as the family is left without needed funds for a proper burial.

Listen to Allen

You young guys get a term policy when you are young and healthy for as long a period as you can.

Wouldn't be surprised you can a million dollar policy for less than 20 buck a month

How sad!  I hadn't heard about  Chris.  I've known him for over 30 years, way back in his Kimber/Illuminati days.  Just talked to him a few months ago.

What a GREAT guy and a wonderful and talented designer.

I've used his cables for many years.  Some of the best I've ever tried.

R.I.P. Chris
