I see a rack of 3 Quad preamps ('control units', as they called them) and a Quad tuner at 8:10, here: https://youtu.be/T9o_eZGaaMk?t=491

This Japanese audiophile has it real bad; he has to move his couch to open his refrigerator, being able only to afford a 250 sq ft apartment due to spending $100,000 on his speakers. Oops.

    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.
