The premise
Everything started when I was ten and used to watch my father messing about with his Technics SL1200. The music came from a pair of ESB 100LD speakers unbelievable placed on a bookshelf.
From that moment on, my passion for high fidelity has been growing incessantly combined with a musical journey that always changes following the phases of my life.
Music is a companion that savvies, that is always present in my day disregarding the system at my disposal.
The meeting
One winter afternoon Roberto Rocchi invites me at home and after a pizza and some chats with some collaborators, he asks me. "Do you feel like writing something for us?"
Go without saying my answer: it has been like asking a kid if he wants to go to the fun fair!
Then, with some fear but also joy and will to grow up, my adventure begins.
The system
I like very much experimentation and I am open to any kind of setup. I like comparisons and I respect other people's opinions.
