Not sure if we featured this guy before. One of his son’s made a video that was reposted on Youtube but this is kind of the back story to the video. Quite interesting.

Rather sad story. It does put my rather small obsessions into a better frame though.

Be interesting to know just how good his hearing was by the time he was in his 70s.
For most of us it's not that great, certainly not million dollar stereo great.

This was the original video.



Amused to read he did have it set up as a home theatre system too!

A sad but not rare tale.

Countless highly personal collections have been broken up when the original curator passes on and there is no one to take up the reins.

Ken's (R.I.P) system recently came up for auction... so much gear, pages and pages of stuff... it only got a very small faction of the said Million dollar value.

Unfortunately cost spent doesnt equal monies realised..And at the end of the day value just equals what another person will pay. I think weve all done money on audio through the years...lol..Sheet o dear I have!
