Celebrity Audiophiles? Do you guys know of any?


Celebrity Audiophiles? Do you guys know of any?
People and their systems? I was always curious.

I only know of one - "Fabio" with his elaborate system shown long ago with some Transparent adds in a magazine.

Any others that you know off?

Hi Des -
It's true about the mirrored pair. Go figure :)

See you at CES? Mail me.

Who is Fabio?

Use to be a popular "Macho" model..... but he had some serious gear for sure,custom Krell's amps made specially by Dan the Man himself. Up to 1000 watts of class "A" power and much much more.

I remember that article about Fabio. It had pictures, too. I got the impression he subjects all his dates to his system (been there, done that). He was swapping out some cables for a couple of girls in the article. Huge Martin Logans! Don't think they were even available for consumers at the time. Tons of wattage. He's serious about our hobby alright.

I wouldn't be surprised if Clint Eastwood has some serious gear. He is an avid jazz fan and has been all of his adult life. Cheers.
Clint is indeed serious about his music. I know for a fact he has a Rockport TT. Not sure about the rest of his rig, but with that front end....you can imagine.
Randy Johnson (argueably the best southpaw of the the last 30 years) is an audiophile. back in 1997 when i traded in my Wilson WP 3/2's for 5.1's; he purchased them for his home in Arizona. i met him at the local dealer here when he picked the WP's up and he seemed to know his audio stuff pretty well.

i know his musical tastes at the time was a bit too heavy metal for my sensibilities. i think he also plays the drums.

no telling what he may have now but no doubt he can afford whatever he wants.

BTW; i think Fabio is mostly famous 'for being famous'.
