the best stereo system in the world

This is something we don't see every day. There is excess, and then there is excess. This is the latter. Everything about this is incredible: the costs of the system and the room, the time involved and the dedication it required; all just over the top! An example; the turntable unit weighs 1500 pounds, the main speakers are 1400 pounds each. 😐

Note at 52:19, "Where's the Led Zeppelin?"  😄 Man, I would pay to hear "Immigrant Song" in that room! 😁


Sadly, after Mr. Fritz passed from ALS, the entire system was parted out for a fraction of what it cost; just what he didn't want to happen...there's a lesson in that, somewhere.

Thanks, Joe! 😃   Great sound is mostly lost on me these days.  I have about an 80% loss of hearing in my left ear and it's hard to really appreciate high-end sound reproduction now.    I have a modest system in our living room consisting of 75-watt Yamaha stereo receiver (No sound-surround type), Kenwood turntable, Yamaha CD player, PSB speakers and a Polk subwoofer.    It still sounds pretty good, but honestly, most of my listening is done either in a vehicle or through the Macbook Air with two USB speakers.   And even then, sometimes I still pick out things I had never heard before; what would I hear if my hearing wasn't shot? 😄
