Ed Zitron: This is a brutal story. Worth the read

This is a brutal story. Worth the read

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?

ooh, I saw a video about this guy('s stereo). I imagine this story is a bit less varnished

evidently lots of people saw that video. this ended kinda how I imagined it might. brutal is a good description

His estrangement from his eldest son Kurt was tragic.

Things are just things, you know? My late father was an audio engineer, and I treasure the nice (not Earth-shaking) speakers from his stereo, but his love is what really persists in my mind.

Moral: Don't exit this existence the way Fritz did. He traded a lifetime of priceless love and experiences for a few magic beans.

It was.

For all that’s going on, I think maybe Fritz might have some accomplices in his crime of besmearing the good name of audiophiles.

I almost feel bad saying this but wow, he got exactly what he deserved exactly how he deserved it.
