Sad news indeed. Tim de Paravicini was a Colossus of the hi-fi industry, very well respected in both the domestic audio field as well as by professionals.
Met him once at a Audio Show in London, a few years ago.
He was hosting a demonstration of his gear, and producing some very good sounds, in comparison to others using equipment many times more expensive. I was pleased to see he had chosen to use ordinary 10A rated lighting flex to connect his speakers to the amplifier. But that was Tim - never one to blindly follow fashion: he designed one of his amplifiers simply to show that one need not have to use expensive output valves, by choosing to use inexpensive PL509 TV valves.
RIP Tim
