WashPost: He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable.
A long story about Ken Fritz in Richmond VA and his lifelong obsessive hobby to build the perfect stereo system. The comments on the article are worthwhile, too: they're divided between admiration for his focus and drive, dislike of how he treated his family in the process (disinheriting one son!), and remembering their commenter's own audio history.
I enjoyed this story because I find audiophiles funny: so much effort, time, and money spent chasing tiny subjective improvements and superstitious ideas about sound and electronics!
