[1]An 82-Year-Old Japanese Audiophile Searches for the Best Sound by
   Installing His Own Electric Utility Pole in His Yard:

     As a longtime record collector (first because it was before CDs were
     invented) and a budding audiophile (because vinyl does sound better
     than digital, have at me in the comments if you must), I appreciate
     a good story about the search for perfect sound. But Takeo Morita
     takes it to a new level.

     In the [2]Wall Street Journal [3]story above, we learn that the
     82-year-old has installed a 42-foot utility pole next to his house.
     Why? To get that clean electricity to his system, not that shared,
     filthy electricity from a common-as-muck utility pole. Electricity
     is like blood, he explains, and the cleaner the blood, the better
     for the system.

   My 15-year-old self wishes he had the money, forsight, taste, LPs …

   My current self is in awe - to be so engrossed and at that age and care
   so much …
