The only difference from this guy and a typical young american women who has 5 billion pairs of shoes in her closet, every designer handbag in creation and a credit card max out crisis is that this guy has a bigger electrical bill. Its the american way, more more more, enough is not enough, I will pay for it later... Hope this guy is sinking some money into some charities with that lovely priority.
DIYer Spends $1 Million on Audio

Ivan Messer is not your typical DIY guy. Instead of tweaking
every nook, cranny and cable, he sunk all of his energies
into the audio side of his system.
He also sunk about $1.1 million—but that’s just part of
his story.
It’s not just about the money he’s spent, but what he’s
spent it on. At last count, Ivan currently houses 50 Richard
Gray’s Power Company products and almost 100 McIntosh
audio pieces. Some might think that Ivan must be stopped.
“It doesn’t mean that I’m a psycho,” he jokes. Then again,
they must have rehab for audio addiction, right?

to what it’s become today, it’s become both a labor of
love and really I joke… I say it’s just a total disregard
for the value of money,” Ivan says. “It’s pushing the
envelope to see how far we can go. It’s not a question
of how many boxes we can put in a room, but how good can
we get the audio? How crisp and clear and real can we
get the video? How can we increase the overall enjoyment?”
