Did this guy bear more than a passing resemblance to Yoda, sans the
big
ears and green skin?

Not really.

He was about 6'4" or 6'5" and had a humongous grey-black afro (he
was
white) and was substantially but not morbidly overweight.

Clearly, not the guy I was thinking of.

He would
loudly discuss the fact that he had $40,000 of test equipment (most
of
it Sound Tech ****) and that any dealer without such a bench-and a
$5,000 stereo microscope to examine phono cartridges-was a fraud.(CD
was out there but hadn't totally displaced vinyl and they still did a
semi-high-end turntable business.)

Wasn't that kinda the standard Mac(/Thorens/Tandberg/Klipsch,
etc.)dealer line from the 60's-70's? I think the late Gordon Gow had
alot to do with that approach.
