Tim de Paravicini passed away.....

Sad news.

Tim was another one of those larger than life characters in audio.

Unafraid to speak his mind and opinions.

A Beatles enthusiast too.

As stated, a true genius.   

First Roger Modjeski, and now Paravicini. Both masters of the science and art of tube amplifier design, and both routinely ignored by the vast majority of high end consumers. Not by myself: my hi-fi collection includes an EAR-Yoshino pre-amp and three Music Reference power amps.

And I am in agreement.  I have RM5 pre amp and RM9SE power amp, driving my Vandersteen 5As.
