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?

Anthony Cordesman currently writes for The Absolute Sound. He doesn't have a review in the current issue so maybe somone else can chime in as to what his current set-up is. (I don't save my issues.) From memory I recall that he currently has Pass electronics in his reference system. He has been a fan of Thiel speakers for some time, but I don't recall if that's his current speaker. Before the Thiels he was a big fan of Apogee speakers, IIRC.

I didn't realize his "day job" until the first Gulf War back in 1990-91. This military analyst was on tv, with maps and a pointer, and a name flashes on the screen, Anthony Cordesman, and my jaw dropped.
You will see a SOTA turntable and I think maybe Piega SA speakers on "House". Hugh Laurie plays guitar and piano so my guess it was his call.
Stereophile did a story on Fabio's megasystem years ago, so I guess he listens when hes not preaning or scraping birds off his face.
I think Kim Katrall from Sex and the City used to be married to Mark Levenson, so she might have nice sound at home?
I notice some high end gear on the "House" TV show. Is Hugh Laurie an audiophile or is it staging for his persona?
Hugh Laurie rides a motorcycle on the show which is one of his personal hobbies, and plays music so I bet it was his input. But who knows? BTW I have been a fan of his since the Blackadder days, but I don't really know a lot about him (not an obsession)!
Carl Bernstein from the Washington Post is an audiophie. I read a bio of him a few years ago that said that was a passion of his. Not sure about his gear.
