Angelo Jasparro
He was born in march 1962 in Milan.
When he is 6 y.o. he sees the first drum set and falls in love with it. After having received a few toy-drum sets, that broke straight away, at the age of 9 he receives a real instrument. From that moment on he'll keep on playing for several years. The drum set still exist but unfortunately now he has little time to play. At the age of 13 he gets across the first HIFi, bought by his parents, and from that day on the passion for music keeps on growing. He has tested innumerable components in the last 35 years and has seen - and sees - concerts of all genre. When he was a young boy he dreamt about writing on HiFi. In 2003, the dream comes true and he starts writing for a famous on line magazine. In 2007, he becomes a columnist - and still is - for the most eminent Italian magazine, Audio Review. He specialized in Hi End and has reviewed many hi level components with a mastering of the subject that fears no comparison. He prefers analog fonts to digital ones, even if things are changing with High definition. He has a collection of more than 500 CDs and 1500 LPs. He has written reports from Las Vegas, Munich, Milan and from American enterprises that has visited during a trip across the USA. He started a blog a couple of years ago that has a big success and that has exceeded the 38,000 visits. He loves motorbikes and takes long trips with friends in the mountains.

In particular, computer-related music, CD-R burning and the digitalisation of its extensive VHS cassettes archive. Not being able to listen to music at high volumes until late at night he started to share his love of the world of hi-fi and especially professional headphones using over the years various brands and models.At the same time thanks to his continuous love for digital computer music and for high-end headphone listening systems he has created his own small but highly functional audio mastering studio. Francesco's friendship with several emerging musicians of Milan independent music scene, and a passion for digital audio related technology has enabled him to work on their music projects with the utmost care, in that dark art called mastering.

I was born in 1967 and fed, straight away, with milk and Vivaldi by my far sighted mother. My grandfather on my mother's side was a self made tenor and did the rest together with my lamented uncle Tonino that was a great Bach fan and loved baroque music. I remember when we used to go all together on our Sunday trips with my uncle's car that had a car stereo that played awfully loud Albinoni's Adagio alternated to Demis Roussos - a famous pop singer. I started to play with Hi Fi components very soon, the first one was the cheap all-in-one, by Soundesign, a device that we bought at a Fair in 1974. All the windows of the Hi-Fi shops in Bari, one of which was the mythic Discorama, still have the signs of my fingerprints when I craved for SAE and Nakamichi. I grew up and became an audiophile and during the years I have possessed many different equipments of different values and performances. Passion for music has remained unaltered and I have a perennial hunger for new music knowledge. I am an audiophile and I consider myself open minded, my primary passion is music but I'm not obsessed and I don't listen to the same record over and over again just to spot the transformation in the acoustic performances of the components. I love to listen to music, I love to listen to it at best but I prefer to listen to music without becoming paranoid on the Hi Fi components output. I prefer to listen to the real thing, to feel the soul of the authors and of the interpreters, to understand their intention rather than obtaining a technically perfect but meaningless sound. Last but not least, my sweetheart - so to say - is an audiophile but most of all she's a music lover and an artist; right now she's turning her attention and her passion to a different kind of art.
Greetings to all. Vince No(i)sy |
No(i)sy is the perfect friend.
Big ears to listen, a big nose to unearth what is hidden from the majority of people and a pure and pristine enthusiasm. His wandering that seems pointless will help us to re-discover the old passion buried under everyday routine and duties.
He is a fresh look upon something that used to thrill us but now leaves us unresponsive. Let’s give the kid inside us the opportunity to enjoy life in all its hues and sing again all those songs we have forgotten long ago ...
