Well kinda... I stumbled upon this site which had images of this man's music room which looks like pure heaven. I wanted to share this with you all, although you might have already seen it. Also, can anyone name the gear he is using?

Good grief! There are a few dollars in that room.
BTW, did you notice that there is a glaring lack of a mini-jack for plugging in an iPod?

I know! How could he be missing out on amazing 128kbps AAC music from the iTunes music store!?

Bah. He was jamming out with his IPOD Nano as he was setting up the room.

I bet he ports overcooked 64k sample rate mp3s via a wireless into that setup but won't admit it... ;)

That is one way-up uber-sick setup; some of those wires look like black garden hoses. Whould someone please explain the small wires on the insulators? :confused: (7th pic up from the bottom)

Yeah I was wondering that myself, I was thinking maybe to absorb static electricity.

And what are those big black pod looking things on the floor also??

I was wondering that, too. They're somehow part of the speaker cables...but whoa, momma....they're huge...

By seeing what this guy/girl has in this system, what do you think the total price of this entire set-up was?? I looked up the speakers, and they were 60 g's alone!!!

I found this in his components section:

Jena Labs Fundamental One power cord ($$1850 each)
this power cord includes an in-line conditioner in each cord. it is especially good at preventing 'digital hash' from back filling into the power grid from components. the system uses 7 of these power cords.

Man, I hate digital hash. :eek:

Edit: I found another listing of his equipment with descriptions (http://cgi.audioasylum.com/systems/663.html) -- and those pod doofers are speaker cables (http://www.aurant.com/signaturefeature.php)

My wife saw the pics and said, "you should ask that guy what it is like NOT having a woman around?" LOL

The thin wires are the interconencts? They come all the way from the equipment rack to the amps....never seen anything that thin....silver maybe?

I went through the listing and came up with $311,990

Edit: and that just the equipment, no mention of the construction.

DAMN!!! I could only imagine.. I did buy 10 Powerball tickets today.. If I win 100 mill, I will buy everyone that has responded to my posts a set of SRT's!! If that was possible anyways... Maybe we could get Mr. Polk to manufacture about 100 new sets!!

He is married. but all the equipment is in a horse barn that he converted to his man cave. read the construction link I posted. it's pretty cool.
