Rikki’s Interview with Innovation and Tech Today Magazine
“Speaking with Rikki Farr is an experience. He’s warm, he’s honest, and he’s happy to share the incredible memories and opinions he’s accumulated over the course of his life and career. Can you name any big musical act in the 60? Chances are, for his work with them. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, and are just a few on this special list.
It was his love of music that drove him to his current passion: RIVA Audio. RIVA speakers are tiny and mighty, and listening to your favorite songs through one is also an experience.”
