DC-93 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable. Ken Fritz spent 40 years turning his living room into what some audiophiles called the world’s greatest hi-fi system. What would it all mean in the end?

ctsooner Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 It’s behind a firewall. I don’t want to share my email . Is there anyway to cut and paste? I’m sure it’s interesting. Funny how they are saying it’s the world greatest. That’s one of those high end fallacies. There is NO worlds greatest and all of us know that it’s not always about cost/prices. I would love to read it though. thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B When I first read the story over the weekend, that was the biggest part I took away. My wife thought the same. The comments following the story were rather depressing overall. So, although I never really said much to anybody about audio in the past, aside from guys - it was always guys - who I worked with and liked to build gear as I do, I'm now resolved to never say a word to anybody about audio. If I ever visit a store in the future, it will be with a mask on. I guess record stores might be exempt from that. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Vandersteen Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Allways remember this definition when talking to anyone about this hobby or any other we love; Specialty means few people care! This is true for wine, beer, cars, cameras, watches, art and.............................................................! It is not worth being possessed by it.

DC-93 Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 Wise words, indeed! I had some medical stuff going on in the late 90s. Music helped me get through it. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bummer that such a wonderful hobby and pursuit created such a negative and traumatic experience for the family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
