• COVERAGE: Krakow Sonic Society, meeting #83:
  Holger Fromme and his Avantgarde Acoustic XA Series
  
  
  
  This was not a classic meeting of the Krakow Sonic Society. Although we did something like that once or twice before, these couple times versus over eighty meetings in total is not much. This time we did not compare anything, did not have listening sessions, did not plug anything in or out, etc. It was only about getting acquainted with a new, incredibly interesting product, the new, split amplifier Avantgarde Acoustic XA Series.

  Srajan Ebaen („6moons.com”) and Acoustic Revive RD-3+RIO-5II
  
  WHAT WILL REMAIN AFTER OUR CIVILIZATION? It doesn't happen often, but obviously sometimes it does – by mistake I deleted all photos I took during our meeting with Srajan. For two days I fought with my computer to recover at least some of them and I failed. Damn it! So I called Jarek Waszczyszyn, who in fact invited our guest from Switzerland, but I got nothing from him – he simply did not take any pictures at all. To be perfectly clear – nobody except for me took any photos during this CSS meeting – so there was nothing left after Srajan's departure except for our memories and some notes on piece of paper.
