Ken Fritz article

Now he is an audiophile.

noted a comment by the kids in the article  - 

“Nobody wanted to come to our house, because he wanted to put them to work,” said his daughter Patty, 58. “I think we went camping twice, never took vacation. It was just work, work, work.”

The tale of this guy's life is one that many here should reckon with. While I am a bit obsessed with my stereo, it does not interfere with my family and I respect the value of the dollar too much to take my desires to a level that makes people uncomfortable. 10 foot speakers, IMHO, would be fitting for a listening room full of 10 foot tall people!! And don't get me started on those identical grandfather clock sound dampeners!

Ken's life is a sad story on how any focus on any one thing can lead to failure in all the other parts of life that have much greater value in life...reminds me of all the people who can't put their phone down!! 😒

Anyone who can sacrifice everything for just one goal remind us of what we must value over any goal...Even if so much perseverance and dedication can teach us something too ...

By the way i dont envy him a bit...

My low cost system satisfy me because as in the Fritz case i created it myself ... But at a low cost price without too much human cost... 😊

@goodlistening64 "And don’t get me started on those identical grandfather clock sound dampeners!"

The dual grandfather clocks ticking away with resonating cabinets and internal parts vibrating away inside in the background caught my attention as well.

Interesting, bizarre, and sad all at the same time for the family.
