It had been more than ten years ago when I first visited Jonathan and Kathleen in their loft. I was just a snot-nosed 20-something year old and J-10 and I only knew each other virtually on TAN (The Audiophile Network BBS). Jonathan was very kind to let me visit him while on a business trip to NYC.
Many years later and now just a couple years ago, Jonathan and I worked together at Monster Cable. Jonathan now has his own business and he once again welcomed me on a visit. This time, though, he and I have a bit more common history.
Jonathan and Kathleen treated us to some tasty Champagne and some delicious jazz.
J-10 at the Forsell, the same rig he had when I visited him way back
when. Back then, he was still using dental floss on the Forsell.

Jonathan's setup. Incredible soundstaging and tone.

Kathleen picked a fascinating restaurant called WD-50 for dinner. The chef, Wylie Dufresne, is a very adventurous chef. Since we were all foodies, we had to opt for the nine course tasting menu with wine pairings. Here's a PDF of the menu at the time we went, although the tasting menu had many items not on the list.
