Ken Fritz article

Is anyone else on this forum divorced?  Is that evidence of mental illness?  Ken owned his own business, and maybe that was one reason he didn’t take vacations.   We don’t know if he took his profession as seriously as he did his sound system.  At least 2 of his kids were featured in the article and video, so they apparently got along with him.  A few select quotes from a writer are not enough to make any valid conclusions about someone.  Has anyone else employed their kids to help them with projects, and had their kids remember that is was fun?  We don’t have any information about how many friends he had and what they thought of him.  It’s clear he liked building things, and that was part of his profession.  From what I could see he enjoyed building his room, system and the grandfather clocks.  Maybe doing it himself was more important than the final result.  The article - oddly - made no effort at all to evaluate how good the sound quality was.  Yet it was supposedly an article about creating the best sound system.  It seemed to go off track and focus on flaws in his personal life.  I’m glad no one is writing about me.  But for all of us, no matter what we buy, build or collect, some day we will leave it all behind.

Another writer could have taken a different approach to this story and - using the same facts - left us with a completely different set of conclusions.

What stands out about it was that Ken was an audiophile.  If he had put his time and money into building a boat it would have been an unpublished boat story.

I would have been interested in knowing how good his system sounded.

@goodlistening64   As I read your comments, I thought wow…before you criticize the splinter in your neighbors eye, you should remove the timber in your own eye.

I think the WP columnist knows that a ‘good news’ article doesn’t create nearly as many clicks as a deeply critical one.  I’m thankful that no one has published a story about my life.
