Kazutoshi Tsukahara, Sparkler Audio’ CEO and chief designer, has worked for 12 years as a firmware designer in the development of CD, Super Audio CD (SA-CD) and DVD equipment at Sony’s Tokyo Technology Center.
Passionate about good sound quality, and an avid short wave radio enthusiast, he could not agree with the frequently ‘artificial’ sound of various digital formats. He knew that digital could be designed and implemented to sound good and natural.
A master of electronics, with a strong influence from the work of Japanese design masters such as Junji Kimura, Hideya Masutani, and Noboru Tominari, Tsukahara-san is devoted to designing no-nonsense products that will satisfy music connoisseurs all over the world.
