In Conversation with Ricardo Franassovici

I had the pleasure of chatting with the legend of hi-fi, Ricardo Franassovicia, in the Soundstage Hi-Fi listening room last month! In our 20-minute interview, we explore what defines a world-class hi-fi system, and why a love of music combined with decades of expertise matters as much as the equipment itself.

Together, we discuss the philosophy, heritage, and stories behind our favourite brands such as dCS, Dan D’Agostino & Wilson Audio, the importance of carefully matched hi-fi systems, and how great audio can shift listeners from analysing high-fidelity sound to feeling emotionally connected to the music.
