Unfortunately Ken got obsessed in this hobby. Family priorities were put aside.
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. |

Yes private and we don’t know the reality. Seems we should not speculate negatively on a man that has passed. |
I am actually glad they talked about his family. It reminds me my priorities.
No dude, if your kids hated it THAT MUCH, it wasn’t worth it re: million dollar system - I don’t listen to million dollar music. Having something that expensive to hear someone scream while 3 musicians rock it out in the background would be like eating a Danish with a silver fork and knife. |
