Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update


If you haven’t heard about Ken’s story, it’s an interesting one and will punctuate the importance of balance in life.

Here’s somehting I cam across with how much his system actually went for: https://www.headphonesty.com/2024/04/audiophiles-dream-stereo-system-sold-death/?fbclid=IwY2xjawGPrE1leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHZGx9gaKw_4T-8UrcXLV_b2oH7tNsphH0frQStdnfSLOhEzhv0reh9Q18Q_aem_YtZrUHYbbfRO3d-YuOMd4g

I’m surprised it netted that much. I thought the monstrosity custom speakers and turntable / stand thing (once the actually-valuable high end arms and cartridges are stripped off) would have to be near give-aways; really just come and and haul it off. I’m surprised if anyone thought otherwise.

Then there were a bunch of electronics which are most OK, nothing special and not really big bucks - just tedious to sell in aggregate. I’m sure a good portion of the sum went to the auction managers.

I wouldn't give too credence to the "family drama" story. Sounds like someone wanted the attention. This should have remained private to the family. 

Does anybody really believe a Washington Post Article?  To me that’s the amazing story here.

That, and the fact most people seem content to run with just one side of the story. Kids are just as likely to be rotten as the parents, and the fact they were so quick to air dirty laundry on death makes me like them less. So he wanted to wake you up early and put ya to work, wow what horrible abuse *eyeroll*...

What is all this backlash against single listening chairs? God forbid a man have a hobby he can enjoy in solitude! I have as much company as I want in my life already. Sure it was fun having a great stereo to share when I was actively dating, but these days I really enjoy immersing myself in peace.
