    What a great story

    Amazing video, someone please list the equipment featured in this room. I can’t figure out the spelling of the electronics manufacturer.🙏🙏

    Ken did not listen to any to of the nay-sayers. Through design and testing, he built an incredible system that allowed him to not only listen to, but to feel the music that few will ever get to experience. There are few in this world that are so talented and I’m thrilled as an viewer and a lover of great music, to get to be a small part of this presentation. Thank you Ken. All of your efforts are greatly appreciated.

    i’d probably knock one of these things over and watch it break in half

    What a cute gentlemen. Well his HiFi system is as American as it can be and it wouldn’t be my cup of tea but I am sure it sounds well. However there are two things that really impresses me. First: This guy is not a HiFi professional (whatever that is) but he is not at all telling BS or snakeoil sound theories. Not anybody might like his concept but I am sure that everybody with HiFi knowledge can agree that it makes sense and it is consistent.
    The other thing I really like is what he said multiple times: "If It wouldn’t work I would tell myself it works coz I can’t change it any more" and this is so true for everybody who builds his own stereo, but most are not honest or brave enough to say it.
    I hope there are many more years to come where he can enjoy his music.
    Bless him.

  12. Dß Dß on December 28, 2021 at 5:02 pm

    I got an Aiwa 3 disc system that would blow this away



  13. Adolf Doenitz on December 28, 2021 at 5:03 pm

  14. Aztec MC on December 28, 2021 at 5:03 pm

  15. Snooze00 on December 28, 2021 at 5:03 pm

    Audiophile fanatics are the stupidest people on the planet.



  16. Ty Miklic on December 28, 2021 at 5:05 pm

  17. Brett Munkedal on December 28, 2021 at 5:06 pm

    You can tell this man is passionate about what he does & he knows what’s up. Holy shit this is amazing. I wish I could hear it



  18. Kuya Rico on December 28, 2021 at 5:07 pm

    I wanted to have a system and a house just like yours Ken, but just like what you said about the clock, we’re different and have to shine with what we have, and I will. Your life story is a blessing and remind to keep in touch with time now. Thank you for inspiring me. Much love from Philippines!



  19. spooge33 on December 28, 2021 at 5:07 pm

    Steve Martin has a Google Phonic Stereo with a Moonrock needle……………………………sounds like shit.



  20. Ömer Tüzer on December 28, 2021 at 5:07 pm

    How is this a stereo system with three locations of sound radiation?



  21. James Croisdale on December 28, 2021 at 5:08 pm

    This is just mental illness really, isn’t it?



  22. izzzzzz6 on December 28, 2021 at 5:10 pm

    I have 4kw RMS bass on a 6KW amp in my basement. Credit to all the work he put in to that project.



  23. MarkMash17 on December 28, 2021 at 5:11 pm

    Truly amazing



  24. Dave Swart on December 28, 2021 at 5:11 pm

    Well, I didn’t plan on crying to a damn stereo documentary but here I am on my lunch break, in the parking lot. 😂



  25. Town of Jezza on December 28, 2021 at 5:11 pm

    Here I am listening to music on 25$ bluetooth headphones



  26. Fred Bissnette on December 28, 2021 at 5:12 pm

    that turntable is the audio version of a hypercar



  27. EdtheMerlin on December 28, 2021 at 5:14 pm

    Thank you for the super fast reply on the discography. After numerous searches I was able to find maybe…the only two used CDs of which were located in Germany. Your detailed description of the CD confirms just what a professional you are and the kind of person you are. You exemplify the Best of the Best! Thank you Ken…you are an INSPIRATION!



  28. Aaron Pieper on December 28, 2021 at 5:15 pm

    I wonder what material the baffles are made out of🧐



  29. Pyotr Growpotkin on December 28, 2021 at 5:15 pm

    Addiction takes many forms people



  30. timlukas1 on December 28, 2021 at 5:21 pm

    So this is one excellent video, and congrats to Ken Fritz to his persistence and dedicaction to excellence, the pursuit of audio perfection. The actual units featured such as Krell have now, 2021, a more dynamic, more realistic and even less distorting , higher resolving competition, that brings people closer to the realism of the performance. I’d put any of the AAVIKs, starting with C380-M380 to the new 580 series,AYRE ACOUSTIC, VAC, SOULUTION, CH PRECISION, ZANDEN electronic on the exploration map. For straming, LINN’s KLIMAX DSM GEN 3 will deliver details, depth and musical authority thtat the Oppo can’t. And that leads to the conundrum:, which is best embraced instead of fought: There is always an upgrade around the corner. Congratulation, and enjoy the music.



  31. EdtheMerlin on December 28, 2021 at 5:21 pm

    Anyone know what CD the Swan Lake music came from?



  32. Glen Perkins on December 28, 2021 at 5:22 pm

    Ken get your daughter to get you on TikTok . After 1000 subscribers, link your TikTok back to your YouTube. People on TikTok will love content about your sound system . blessings!



  33. Humboldt Oregonian on December 28, 2021 at 5:26 pm

    Don’t rush your dreams he said. My stereo set up is modular because I’m always tinkering with different speakers, enclosures, and amps. It just keeps getting better. I don’t know how people can build something and not think about improvements.



  34. Dave Swart on December 28, 2021 at 5:29 pm

    …but is there Bluetooth?



  35. L D on December 28, 2021 at 5:29 pm

    The World seems to be obsessed by celebrities, athletes, influencers, individuals that contribute absolutely nothing at the end of the day. This man is smart, humble and incredibly driven. Worthy of our admiration.



  36. Daryl Kariniemi on December 28, 2021 at 5:29 pm

    Awe inspiring!



  37. Peter Gremmer on December 28, 2021 at 5:30 pm

    They sound great through my iPhone speakers!!



  38. buzzcrushtrendkill on December 28, 2021 at 5:31 pm

    We are still free enough to buy what we want. As long as its worth it to the individual. Its fun when other people become obsessive.



  39. C Mac on December 28, 2021 at 5:31 pm

    Much respect.



  40. harry on December 28, 2021 at 5:31 pm

    this gave me a serious audio boner



  41. Fred Bissnette on December 28, 2021 at 5:32 pm

    I like it I’ve got two 8 foot towers in my basement nothing wrong with striving for perfection



  42. TenThousandQuills on December 28, 2021 at 5:32 pm

    What a technically well rounded man!! This is fascinating!



  43. RicMech on December 28, 2021 at 5:35 pm

    Thank you sir!



  44. dolemite84 on December 28, 2021 at 5:35 pm

    …ok. I made it sixteen minutes in; gonna keep watching because this is absurd. This is an hour of a guy talking specs? Anyway, I got my dads old Cerwin Vegas and they sound fuckin’ great!



  45. EdtheMerlin on December 28, 2021 at 5:36 pm

    I have watched this 3X already and each time I come away with something different and more valuable. I sent this to my grandson not for the content of the sound system but for the INSPIRATIONAL aspects that Ken so eloquently delivers. I’ll be 81 in February…still going, still inspired, still working on my sound system and my Giant Hosta garden.



  46. dolemite84 on December 28, 2021 at 5:37 pm

    this is sad.



  47. PixelPhobiac on December 28, 2021 at 5:38 pm

  48. Mr. Wint on December 28, 2021 at 5:38 pm

    Unfortunately it takes time to realize that there is no substitute for, – time..



  49. TheKitchenTechnician on December 28, 2021 at 5:39 pm

    I still remember the first time I heard a stereo system that sounded live. It was a Supertramp song. From now on. I was 13, the year was 1972. I’ve been a music/stereo nut ever since.



  50. stinkfinger630 on December 28, 2021 at 5:41 pm

    What a great, moving story. All the best, sir!
