Tim deParavicini has passed away

Another one of our greats is gone.
I had a pair of his 509's and they were excellent.

2020, the year that continues to give.

Very sad to learn of his passing. Having had a few rare opportunities to spend time with him at various audio shows, he was a gentle soul who utterly failed to take himself too seriously. A true creative genius who will be missed. Rest In Peace!

I regret never owning some of his lovely gear. Here’s a 2007 profile:

I first learned of him when I started listening to recordings by Water Lilly, including Ry Cooder's "A Meeting by the River." They used EAR gear, iirc. Exquisite recordings.
