Ken Fritz turned his home into an audiophile’s dream — the world’s greatest hi-fi. What would it mean in the end?

He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable.www.washingtonpost.com Ken Fritz spent 40 years turning his living room into what some audiophiles called the world’s greatest hi-fi system. What would it all mean in the end?

Nice story on how the pursuit of perfection of one thing leads to loss of everything else.

What a fucking asshole. Imagine nuking your marriage and your relationship with multiple children for a fucking stereo system. Pathetic.

What a loser

Oh come on. Dude’s got a hobby.

That he estranged most of his family pursuing. He's an asshole who lived selfish life.

If selfishness and narcissism are a hobby then, sure. Did you read the article? What a lousy parent/husband/friend👎.

Yeah, no prize for being a warm companion.

lol ok

jesus this is a depressing read

I figured someone would alert him

Au contraire. The real cost was totally fathomable.

yeah it's in the headline: $1 million

No, it's in the last two paragraphs of the story. The man was a terrible person who severely alienated his own family and died bitter and spiteful. But maybe you didn't read it.
