E.A.R. is the brainchild of Tim de Paravicini, whose name has been associated since the 1970s with electronics of the highest fidelity. De Paravicini's innovative techniques have not only borne fruit in products for E.A.R., but in designs for some of the world's most highly regarded electronics manufacturers. Some of these designs have been continually prized--and sought--by discerning listeners for decades after their introduction.
