Well, unless you are a WSJ subscriber you won't have the pleasure of reading this account of the Japanese gentleman who, at a cost of $40, 000, had his own AC mains pole and transformer placed in his backyard because "power is like blood - it must be pure." This complements the $100,000 or so in equipment he already possesses.
He claims vociferously that it was worth every penny.

Yes, you CAN read it as a non-subscriber to the Wall St. Journal:

Go to www.google.com

Do a search for (exact words): A Gift for Music Lovers Who Have It All: A Personal Utility Pole

Click on the appropriate selection. This bypasses the WSJ's pay wall.

If he's got the money, more power to him ...

(Ick, I hate puns but could not resist this one and will have difficulty looking in the mirror today)
