    Seriously, how could the man even bring a date to his house....people would deem him as a crazy as they walked through the first floor, nevermind making to the 5th floor.

    Dude, I get antsy when I have too much gear and feel cluttered. How could he possibly enjoy all that stuff?

    Incredible. Absolutely incredible. I don't see any reason that he wouldn't be the world's #1 audiophile. The fact that he opens up his house to share and have ordinary folk come and have a listen to ALOT of high end gear is fantastic.

    Taking a trip to his pad is now on my list of things to do before I die.

    Freakin' incredible!:eek:

    I wonder what his electric bill is and I definately would like to see an insurance appraisal for that house.

    I would recommend that he sell some gear and use the proceeds to purchase a mail order bride.

    I took a closer look at that gold TT and I noticed that it had two arms. What would be the purpose of that?

    No, the ones we listened to were a little more bubbly looking, and they had the 12" woofer on the sides. I bet they compare in price though :D

    Joe's gonna have a hard-one when he sees the pic of that there TT.

    I can't stop looking at those pic's. Pure audio **** at it's finest. Not my style when it comes to decoration, but right up my alley when it comes to audio taste. I might have to close the door and do something private.

    Considering he has a full-time assistant to take of his system, he really need another to stake care of his music collection. Looks to be quite diverse taste in music....

    200,000 LP's? I'd say so. That doesn't include other formats either.:eek:

    My first thought was "that guy really needs a woman." Then I start thinking, maybe if I had a hifi system worth as much as a small house in every room, I might be able to make some sacrifices. I'm sure if he can afford those speakers he can afford other things.
