Good to see, he's got one in the hand and keeping the supply distribution point at arms length in the background.

John Curl is one of the most-respected circuit designers of all time and, since 1989, the creative genius behind Parasound's high-end audio amplifiers and preamplifiers. Since the mid 1970s, Curl has left a trail of landmark hardware across the industry . . . the classic Mark Levinson JC-2, the SOTA head amplifier, and his own Vendetta preamplifier.
Topics of conversation may include: Curl's involvement with The Grateful Dead and the Montreux Jazz Festival; his theory that the dielectric materials in capacitors strongly influence the quality of music reproduction; his concerns about higher-order, odd-harmonic distortion; the challenges of engineering for value; his criteria for expensive parts; why Parasound's new Halo JC 5 works so well with his Wilson Audio Sashas; and more . . .

John Curl. Bascom KIng. These men are the "mad scientists" of the alchemy of music and sound. And RIP Siegfried Linkwitz too. Feel free to add to the list of these giants.
And where is that phone booth anyway?
