I found my new hero. If your collection gets too big, just build a house around it.

    I know that the story is about acquiring the collection, but I certainly hope that he has a dedicated listening space that required as much thought as the storage space. I see a couple TTs in that photo, but I hope he cares about the gear too. I guess that this isn't any different than the auto collectors that build a museum to house their collection that never sees the road.

    I think that it is really cool to custom build something like this, but can you imagine how difficult any future buyer might have with this room fitting their needs? And they thought a swimming pool made a house hard to sell....

    That's just insane and awesome at the same time. Wonder just how much $$$$$ the dude has actually invested in that collection ?

    I'm thinkin', like, fifty bucks. They're all from Goodwill. There are 13,852 copies of Whipped Cream and Other Delights and 6,296 copies of Color Me Barbara. There's a whole level devoted to Mitch Miller and the Gang...

    Be lucky to listen to a small percentage of that collection in a adult life time of audio.... sure has the wow factor going on.
