Had anyone listened to Ken Fritz's system in person?

https://www.stereophile.com/content/what-price-perfection
Another article on Ken Fritz.

I know there are some contoversy about his relation with family.

But I am really curious how it sounded.

Are there anyone who had listened to Ken Fritz’s system in person?

If so what was your impression?



I am sorry that somebody could not have taken over his whole system including the ranch if it sounded very nice.

To answer your specific questions, I guess no one on this thread actually listened to Ken's system. For those who have not heard of his story, the links to the video (from his son's post) are fascinating.

In that Post article, there was mention that he somewhat regularly had people over from an audiophile society in VA. So someone in that area definitely heard it. But the system kept developing over time, so I think if we consider only the last 5 years or so as the completed system, probably a lot fewer as he was already sick. And $156k for the lot is what I remember.

Yes, I went there

In my Imagination, an out of body experience.

I just thought OP should see a yes at least once.

Thanks for your comment.

 

I also considered visiting there but by the time I tried to contact him he did not welcome visitor anymore due to health issue.

 

It is too bad that his system did not get preserved intact.
