Your dual setup with the hifi facing one way, and tv facing the other is exactly what I've considered doing myself. Though my wife thinks I'm nuts lol. I think I'll be eliminating some boxes and upgrading to a Mcintosh integrated at some point. Great video! Thanks for sharing!
@@vpconcepts9838 I have never had anyone explain the science behind the speaker wire etc. because there is none...I would be more concerned about humidity and barometric pressure in listening room.. and the room itself... the companies that market that stuff always seem to have a range of their own products claiming to do things , but have a line of different price points so to upgrade. I have MA8000 and MT-5 TT. A well known tech at McIntosh told me not to waste my money on their $4500.00 line conditioner..it is a rarity that anyone would need it.... show me the science and not voodoo MAGIC. Stillpoints are ceramic and Stainless steel....but company talks of a "break-in period" what B.S.
I've plugged my McIntosh into the wall directly & then into my PS Audio P10. The musicality is greatly reduced without the p10. It's staying in my system. I never had the McIntosh line conditioner in my home to A/B. I will tell you that stillpoints under my MT5 is a revelation. 👌🎼✨
You must have Steve Austin Bionic ears. With the equipment you have everything in the background should be pitch black even if you were using $5.99 walmart speaker wire. I personally cant buy into the ultra high dollar speaker cables and supports. I think its black magic but I won't put anyone down if they do. Your system sounds nice and it should at 50 to 75 K
Thank you. And this was my old system! I believe everyone should have the setup they desire, even if it's Walmart speaker wire & no supports. Thank you for watching always! 🙏🏻🎼✨
Mong man And yet all the trolls telling me I need acoustic treatments because there is a 500hz dip in the room? Who can I please? LOL! 😂🎼✨I do record in 4K however 👌
Great video. It even sounds good over UA-cam. A nice balanced system. Happy to see someone who values cables and tweaks. Hard to do with all the doubters out there. It has obviously paid off. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video. I love your system. Clearly, you love your hobby and it shows. I'd like to give you a bit of an advice, if I am not too presumptuous. I assume you plugged the P10 to the PD. If so, that minimizes - if not destroys - most of the benefits of the P10. Even the manual says that power plant should not be daisy chained. They should be connected directly to a wall socket and no other power conditioning unit should be before it. I have 3 PS Audio plants/conditioners. The last piece in the chain always measured worse than if you connected it directly to power line. That is why they power different power zones: digital, vinyl and main. But I might have misunderstood and you run them in parallel and not chained - then please ignore my suggestion. Thank you. But what a clean, wonderful system, attention to every detail, all is matched perfectly!
Vlad Grigorian Hi Vlad. I actually spoke with PS audio on this as I have had many products going back to the 90’s with the HCA amps & PCA preamp. The P10 does not have an ultimate outlet installed inside, so they are not running through twice. The P10 uses a different technology to AC regeneration compared to the old models. So the wall power goes into the power director, and the P10 goes into that. So all components are isolated on different plugs on the P10. The p10 on its own was to dark and rolled off. Plugging into the power directors ultimate outlet inside REALLY brought life back into the system. PS audio said it was fine. I’ve had it this way for 2 years with no issue. Thank you for listening!! 😊👍🎼✨
Thanks for your quick reply much appreciated. Ps Audio makes really good equipment, but pricy. The Director is the same price as your Sonus Faber. By the way I noticed you also have Martin Logan too. I'm looking into the DirectStream Dac from Ps Audio that I haven't even heard yet, but there are great reviews on it. Hope to see more of your videos it's always cool to see other people's setups and exchange experiences. Have a great day bro.
@@walterstorm9221 Hey Walter do I own the DirectStream Dac and if you do what other Dacs did you audition before going with it. I've heard great things about Chord and a much less expensive and known BorderPatrol SE DAC
Check out the lks dh-004 dac with upgraded USB. I absolutely love ps audio but this thing sounds better than the Dave chord (I have demoed both) and holds itself right with the direct stream. A true steal of a dac at 1500 it will knock over 5-7k dacs (I have done it!)
That McIntosh UFO turntable though😳...I love your system and the sound that flows out from the speakers, your system has flow which is perfect for me . Everything will sound great on your system. I felt drawn in , the music reproduction was captivating, made me sit up and listen!!! System matching is perfect too, you've thought long and hard about what pleases your ears....Jolly good show homie!!!! All the best from Manchester UK....
I've been out of the loop with S_F. Last I had listened to were electa-amator II's and they were more about stylish wood than the sleek piano black. I was under the impression Franco only did speakers designed like instruments.

Wow man , an amazing system. I love Mckintosh equipment. I live in Australia so McIntosh gear entry point is basically between $10,000 and $15,000 , then skyward. Beautiful turntable. Oh well , I'll just keep on buying those lottery tickets. Thanks mate .
I can only imagine the deep bass since this was the first time my 10.5” iPad Pro was actually vibrating in my hand in the year and a half since I’ve had it.
Jeeez. Now that’s an absolutely sweet system!! A true audiophile!! I honestly don’t understand why there’s so many negative comments. This is how a true lover of audio spends his money! Personally I think it’s awesome and would love to hear it in person! I wonder what he has for a home theater setup? I think his speakers cost more than my apartment! LOL!!
Thank you! Some People didn’t realize that the record I pick up is a dummy disk used to protect the platter, and not real. With a system of this level & attention to detail, you think they would ask or assume instead of judging and making assumptions, lol. We still have a long way to go at the human race I guess! 👍🎼✨
I really like your system and how much care went into pairing components. I do have to say, I winced a little when you picked up that record by the playing surface... :P
Lol, I was like "Man, that's a cool looking turntable. I gotta have one. I've been looking to upgrade my Audio Technica for a while so I think I'll get this one... wonder how much it is..." *Looks up turntable* Nope! I love my Audio Technica. Never upgrading for the rest of my life. >_>
So much money spent but no sign of any attempts at acoustic treatment? Those speakers are pretty close to the back wall and would surely benefit from bass traps behind, no?
Mr B Speakers are 7 feet apart and 3 feet from the back wall. The tree behind the left speaker, and audio shelf behind the right are great diffusers. This is a condo, so no room for anything else. Thanks for watching 👌🎼
@Ming man Aye! . . . The pope is gonna hear it from me. He and his ladyboys are sitting on a network of properties in every town in the world. Everyone of 'em probably has a McIntosh system sitting in it!
Good quality equipment, but sound room is bad.may as well have your stereo playing in a bathroom.too many places sound escapes your ear and out of door openings and windows.note speaker on each side of large window which is a terribly bad idea.invest in a sound room with sound panels then begin too hear a big difference in your music.
vpconcepts thank you ever so .i was at a estate sale yesterday and bought a pair of Bose 901 series 6 with pedistals in extra mint condition for 100 bucks I know there are Bose haters and lovers but to me Thet sound great especially listening to jazz all I need now is a Macintosh amp. Thanks again for your reply and I subscribed to your channel .
Michael Gonzalez Gonzo’s world I started out with a pair of yard sale speakers and RadioShack wire. People think because I have this system I just have money and no experience. I started at 16 and I will be 50 in March. My ears and eyes and wallet act from experience. Enjoy your new Bose! 🙏🏻🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 no problem man. I very much injoyed it! Did you end up adding a digital side, or stay analogue? I personally like that you didn't add streaming. Anyway yes very nice system.
Travis at inkedATTY I Travis, I’m not doing affiliate links at this time. Many of these items are now replaced with newer models like my amp & speakers. However I name off each item so you can google them. Any interest in purchasing Kimber Kable, I can help you directly in that area as I am an authorized dealer with Argutus audio 👌✨
Amazing ! This is a real work of passion. It reminds me I have to clean the mess of cables behind my rack. I see that I'm not the only one putting more money on cables than speakers. The more I see other people systems the more I think it's bullshit to put 50% of your budget on speakers. Power, cables, tweaks matters too. Nice video !
yannick930 This is very true! I never would have know "just how amazing" these speakers could be if I wouldn't have put the foundation into my system first. They truly sing 👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 looks great! I'm going to add soon a Niagara 5000 to my system. I was hesitant but every tweak I did so far improved the quality. Your video is inspiring for me.
@@vpconcepts9838 on the other hand.. if you put in better speakers… wouldn’t it sound even better? Also what about room accoustics ? I guess your system is around 50k+ and only 5k speakers ? I always thought your system can only sound as good as the speakers will allow it too ? 🤷♂️ Am I wrong ?
aR Bemo I grew up playing and listening to music. And yes, there is a great joy in listening to, and staring at equipment. No different than feeling the leather or hearing the exhaust from a Ferrari. It’s a wonderful thing 👍🔉🎼✨ Thank you for watching!
I hate to be negative, but when it got to positioning those feet under a power conditioner for better sound, all credibility was lost. Let's have a scientific explanation on how that works please. Also, I've heard of moving an antenna to get better reception, but elevating speaker cables always makes me face-palm. But I guess that's because I must be deaf. Can you say... "Placebo"? Spend, spend, spend, then be forced to admire, admire, admire to justify the spending.
What do you care what he spent his money on. If he likes it who cares. See all your comments read to me like a guy who all his life wanted this stuff but now realized that will never happen. So instead now your going to search out everyone and bash there system. REALLY WHAT DO YOU CARE!!!!
@@montysbricks Agree with you Dean. "I hate to be negative" No you don't. "Scientific explanation". Science goes way past the blinkered limited science we have around us today. Blinkered Crap talk once again @CraigTube.
As a subscriber to your channel I'm pretty disappointed in you Craig. While I admire your pragmatic approach to audio, you don't appear to operating remotely in the same realm of gear that this fellow is. Obviously this man's system gives him a lot of joy, and its disappointing when others that are similarly passionate about audio attack others that are also passionate...ESPECIALLY when the attacking party doesn't have the requisite experience with the gear. If he's got the cash to play around with cable elevators, high end power and audio cables, and different forms of isolation, thats his business. If it makes a difference to him (placebo or not), that's none of your business, and shame on you for being so self important that you feel your opinion matters one bit. That said...I love your channel and you have amazing pragmatic content that was of great utility when I was starting out.
@@omgwtfpwnd I would go look at there instagram page. If they are so insulted why do they post pics of systems just like his. Once again if you think its snake oil go be it. Why is it only audiophile get this kind of treatment. Im not into art but I dont tell someone that what they think is nice I think sucks or go to a car show and start telling everyone that the money they spent on what ever was stupid. Only us audiophiles do and its all ways by someone who has never spent more then 500 on a system
Wow great system. I am just starting to build on my system. Everything I got is budget and garage sale. Some of it good ie: Dahlquist dq 20's, Technics sl-1950 turntable, Sony 4way tower speakers, old Sony intergrated amp ta-a411. Got all this for under $250.00. but your system reigns supreme, probably cost you a buck.
Sounds like a great system Obastan! My first few systems I started the same way. I loved them all just as much as the one I have now. Enjoy the technics TT! 👌🎼✨
Addendum some of my Gear McIntosh Integrated Tube Amp mated to Bowers and 805 D, completely restoration Kenwood 9600 Reciever Beautiful and Power Galore, Rotel Processor, Yamaha DLP Projector , Kenwood MonoBlocks Purist 150 Watts / Channel , Dalite 150 inch grand cinema gray screen, all audio quest cables , Panasonic Blu Ray 4 K Enjoy so much, also blue tooth as well. You have an awesome system
Very nice system. congratulations. I held out on a music server and outboard dac too. but Tidal is too enticing so I popped for a Schiit Yggdrasil and it makes a huge difference. It sounded so good I went out and bought some Tannoy speakers that I've had my eye on. The Cheviot. something about Tannoy and British sound equipment that I like. I found that my power conditioner, the Isotek evo3 Aquarius, made a much bigger difference than real expensive cables.
Love this set up. Very jealous although i suspect there is substantial placebo effect and overkill going on here.... Still love it but I could never use cable risers. I would feel foolish...
Sweet system listening to this on my HD6xx, I see your a Sennheiser man as well. I really want a set of Martin Logan electrostas, I heard a pair of their 8in driver model at best buy on a freaking pioneer av recever and I was blown away, I can't imagine what they sound like with some real power behind them.
I just found your channel through this video, and I have to say, unlike several other people in this comment section I for one am giving a like on this video and a few words of support! You have a superb setup! It's definitely more than I would ever spend, but that's not the point of this video. You're sharing what you love, and *THAT* is the point! I noticed a couple of commenters on here that I used to subscribe to, they've shown their true colors on other videos and they're doing it here too. I would like to personally apologize for them. Not all of us in the vinyl/audio community are like that. You're sharing what you love and I commend you for that! I've tried reaching out to others in the vinyl community, and the vast majority of their behavior is to blow me off because apparently it's not okay to be 36 in the vinyl community. Seems like most people expect me to be 45 or older. They're pretentious snobs my man, keep making videos, and I'll keep showing my support for you!
I don’t have anything approaching your gear...just Marantz and Definitive Technology stuff...but your demo sounds great. The sonics are so clean coming through the almost nothing little speaker on my IPad Mini, It would sound highly listenable off an external speaker coming out of the IPAD.

Thank you for this video. I love your system. Clearly, you love your hobby and it shows. I'd like to give you a bit of an advice, if I am not too presumptuous. I assume you plugged the P10 to the PD. If so, that minimizes - if not destroys - most of the benefits of the P10. Even the manual says that power plant should not be daisy chained. They should be connected directly to a wall socket and no other power conditioning unit should be before it. I have 3 PS Audio plants/conditioners. The last piece in the chain always measured worse than if you connected it directly to power line. That is why they power different power zones: digital, vinyl and main. But I might have misunderstood and you run them in parallel and not chained - then please ignore my suggestion. Thank you. But what a clean, wonderful system, attention to every detail, all is matched perfectly!

vpconcepts thank you ever so .i was at a estate sale yesterday and bought a pair of Bose 901 series 6 with pedistals in extra mint condition for 100 bucks I know there are Bose haters and lovers but to me Thet sound great especially listening to jazz all I need now is a Macintosh amp. Thanks again for your reply and I subscribed to your channel .
Michael Gonzalez Gonzo’s world I started out with a pair of yard sale speakers and RadioShack wire. People think because I have this system I just have money and no experience. I started at 16 and I will be 50 in March. My ears and eyes and wallet act from experience. Enjoy your new Bose! 🙏🏻🎼✨
vpconcepts thanks dude looking to Upgrade slowly but surely thanks again have a good day
$25000 worth of audio equipment..grabs the record by the body.
Christopher L $50k..and your late to the party. Never assume & thanks for watching!
👌🎼✨
Christopher L it’s not a record lol 😂👌🎼✨
Nice set up man. Looks like a few of your favorite things.
It's come a looong way since then! Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 no problem man. I very much injoyed it! Did you end up adding a digital side, or stay analogue? I personally like that you didn't add streaming. Anyway yes very nice system.
I wish I could go hear a setup like this to see if I can tell a difference in quality. I don't know if I have the ears for it.
Travis at inkedATTY I Travis, I’m not doing affiliate links at this time. Many of these items are now replaced with newer models like my amp & speakers. However I name off each item so you can google them. Any interest in purchasing Kimber Kable, I can help you directly in that area as I am an authorized dealer with Argutus audio 👌✨
That’s a beautiful system❤️ wow!
This setup costs more than
my car, and I have a really nice car! 🤣
Goran Farkas 🤣👌🎼✨
Really nice rec on the music, Tyler Williams. Had not heard him before.
Beautiful system, however, I think there might be a few snakes, or the oil there of, lurking in this system.
It's whatever floats the boat. I have a different method, all my flat surfaces are rubber coated with 6 mm rubber composite.
Beautiful setup! You clearly understand that the system should look as good as it sounds. My dream speakers are Sonus Fabers.
Ted Timmis thank you Ted! 👊🎼✨
I hear these are a few of my favorite things...in the music.
THE WAY YOU LIFT THE RECORD FROM THE PLATE MADE MY HEARTH GO DEAD !
Pino Termini it's not a record. Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
Nice system although mega bucks in cost. I would have preferred some orchestral music to really show what it can do.
Through UA-cam?? 😐
Cult Of Cyclists
Yes, of course we can’t truly hear how it sounds but it gives an idea.
TheOldgeezah On my cable review video I did just for you TheOldGeezah! 😊👌✨🎼
Kudos from across the pond if that was my system id end my hi fi journey!
Thank you Andrew! And this is my old system! Check out my current Seattle system video some time. Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
My question is , how do you keep the carpet so clean.
rrios283s73 😂 😜
A vacuum cleaner.
Gorgeous setup! I couldn’t agree more regarding McIntosh. I love the sound and the aesthetic combination. Cheers! 🎸🥦
Rockoli Records right on! 👍🎼✨
I love to have a pair of Mcintosh monoblock amps.
Wow now that’s a nice bit of kit, I want the amp, turntable and a pair of black kef reference 1s should do it. 👌
Hello Thelv's Dad. Also, cool setup xD
Java lava 👌🎼💥
Amazing ! This is a real work of passion.
It reminds me I have to clean the mess of cables behind my rack.
I see that I'm not the only one putting more money on cables than speakers.
The more I see other people systems the more I think it's bullshit to put 50% of your budget on speakers. Power, cables, tweaks matters too.
Nice video !
yannick930 This is very true! I never would have know "just how amazing" these speakers could be if I wouldn't have put the foundation into my system first. They truly sing 👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 looks great! I'm going to add soon a Niagara 5000 to my system. I was hesitant but every tweak I did so far improved the quality. Your video is inspiring for me.
@@vpconcepts9838 on the other hand.. if you put in better speakers… wouldn’t it sound even better? Also what about room accoustics ? I guess your system is around 50k+ and only 5k speakers ? I always thought your system can only sound as good as the speakers will allow it too ? 🤷♂️ Am I wrong ?
One day you will realise that you are listening to your HiFi system not your music!
aR Bemo I grew up playing and listening to music. And yes, there is a great joy in listening to, and staring at equipment. No different than feeling the leather or hearing the exhaust from a Ferrari. It’s a wonderful thing 👍🔉🎼✨ Thank you for watching!
No static at all.
the hifi system enhanced your music listening , this is what i learned from my hifi old man
wiliyanto adinata Old man? I’ll take that as a complement 😂👌🎼✨
Although not the same sonus faber by Franco Serblin. This system reminds me of how an audiophile I used to be. Thanks for the upload.
Chris Francis Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
Have a HomePod. Sounds good to me lol.
but you're not even getting stereo sound lmao
great setup! I bet vinyl sounds amazing on that set up! very good video.
James Montgomery Thanks James! Video on vinyl playing soon 👌🎼✨
really? no room treatment?
Beautiful turntable!, beautiful system.
mike u Thanks Mike! 🤙🎼🎉✨
I hate to be negative, but when it got to positioning those feet under a power conditioner for better sound, all credibility was lost. Let's have a scientific explanation on how that works please. Also, I've heard of moving an antenna to get better reception, but elevating speaker cables always makes me face-palm. But I guess that's because I must be deaf. Can you say... "Placebo"?
Spend, spend, spend, then be forced to admire, admire, admire to justify the spending.
What do you care what he spent his money on. If he likes it who cares. See all your comments read to me like a guy who all his life wanted this stuff but now realized that will never happen. So instead now your going to search out everyone and bash there system. REALLY WHAT DO YOU CARE!!!!
@@montysbricks Agree with you Dean. "I hate to be negative" No you don't. "Scientific explanation". Science goes way past the blinkered limited science we have around us today. Blinkered Crap talk once again @CraigTube.
As a subscriber to your channel I'm pretty disappointed in you Craig. While I admire your pragmatic approach to audio, you don't appear to operating remotely in the same realm of gear that this fellow is. Obviously this man's system gives him a lot of joy, and its disappointing when others that are similarly passionate about audio attack others that are also passionate...ESPECIALLY when the attacking party doesn't have the requisite experience with the gear. If he's got the cash to play around with cable elevators, high end power and audio cables, and different forms of isolation, thats his business. If it makes a difference to him (placebo or not), that's none of your business, and shame on you for being so self important that you feel your opinion matters one bit.
That said...I love your channel and you have amazing pragmatic content that was of great utility when I was starting out.
@@omgwtfpwnd I would go look at there instagram page. If they are so insulted why do they post pics of systems just like his. Once again if you think its snake oil go be it.
Why is it only audiophile get this kind of treatment. Im not into art but I dont tell someone that what they think is nice I think sucks or go to a car show and start telling everyone that the money they spent on what ever was stupid. Only us audiophiles do and its all ways by someone who has never spent more then 500 on a system
no need to be mean
Awesome system. Who cares what others think. I like your videos and would love to see you make more.
Dean Johnson more on the way Dean! 👌🎼
@@vpconcepts9838 Awesome news cant wait
I didn't even know Apple made high end amps.
jk, calm down.
Haha!
Beautiful system. You have a very understanding wife.
I think with a pair of Magnepans .7 or 1.7i you be more happy.
Voornaam Achternaam I used to sell Maggie’s. They are great. Went with Logan’s for the theater though 👍✨👌
vpconcepts Ohh i see, i overlooked those! Is that the ML new style?
Voornaam Achternaam LS 3’s. Old school 👌
I know I'D be way happier with a pair of Maggies! 1.7i has been on my wish list for a little while now.
Andy B Do you live in US?
Wow great system. I am just starting to build on my system. Everything I got is budget and garage sale. Some of it good ie: Dahlquist dq 20's, Technics sl-1950 turntable, Sony 4way tower speakers, old Sony intergrated amp ta-a411. Got all this for under $250.00. but your system reigns supreme, probably cost you a buck.
Sounds like a great system Obastan! My first few systems I started the same way. I loved them all just as much as the one I have now. Enjoy the technics TT! 👌🎼✨
4:57 I cringed, I cringed hard
Jacob Harbarenko it’s a dummy disk to protect the platter. I hate dust covers. I talk about it in another video. Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
beautiful stereo..... beautiful owner.
Que musica tan aburrida ¡lastima de equipo!
Addendum some of my Gear McIntosh Integrated Tube Amp mated to Bowers and 805 D, completely restoration Kenwood 9600 Reciever Beautiful and Power Galore, Rotel Processor, Yamaha DLP Projector , Kenwood MonoBlocks Purist 150 Watts / Channel , Dalite 150 inch grand cinema gray screen, all audio quest cables , Panasonic Blu Ray 4 K
Enjoy so much, also blue tooth as well.
You have an awesome system
Wow! Truly an audiophile/videophile you are! Thanks again for watching! 👊🎼✨
What an amazing system ! I have never heard any Mcintosh equipment myself but have read how good it is. however it looks incredible!
lazycalm41 Thank you! More to come! 👌🎼✨
it sounds amazing, congratulations.
Thank you! You should see it now on my latest videos! Thanks for watching! 👍🎼✨
Man, that record player looked awesome.
🙏🏻🎼✨
Very nice system. congratulations. I held out on a music server and outboard dac too. but Tidal is too enticing so I popped for a Schiit Yggdrasil and it makes a huge difference. It sounded so good I went out and bought some Tannoy speakers that I've had my eye on. The Cheviot. something about Tannoy and British sound equipment that I like. I found that my power conditioner, the Isotek evo3 Aquarius, made a much bigger difference than real expensive cables.
Very impressive - I can see a lot of thought and love has gone into this.
Jeff Pittman Thanks Jeff, you get it 👌🎼✨
Super classy set up. Sounds great too!
wldw10 Thanks! 👌🎼✨
Love this set up. Very jealous although i suspect there is substantial placebo effect and overkill going on here.... Still love it but I could never use cable risers. I would feel foolish...
Very performand system...congratulation !!!
Dude! Nice setup! Wish I had the $ u have. One day I’ll get my Blue meters.😀👍🏻👊🏻
Mike King Right on Mike! 😊👊🎼✨
Sweet system listening to this on my HD6xx, I see your a Sennheiser man as well. I really want a set of Martin Logan electrostas, I heard a pair of their 8in driver model at best buy on a freaking pioneer av recever and I was blown away, I can't imagine what they sound like with some real power behind them.
william seroyer Yup! For theater I love them. For music I still prefer box speakers. Thank you for watching! 👌🎼✨
Much props to you. nice set up. Money well spent
Zen Cinema thank you my friend, happy listening! 👌✨🎼
I just found your channel through this video, and I have to say, unlike several other people in this comment section I for one am giving a like on this video and a few words of support! You have a superb setup! It's definitely more than I would ever spend, but that's not the point of this video. You're sharing what you love, and *THAT* is the point!
I noticed a couple of commenters on here that I used to subscribe to, they've shown their true colors on other videos and they're doing it here too. I would like to personally apologize for them. Not all of us in the vinyl/audio community are like that. You're sharing what you love and I commend you for that!
I've tried reaching out to others in the vinyl community, and the vast majority of their behavior is to blow me off because apparently it's not okay to be 36 in the vinyl community. Seems like most people expect me to be 45 or older. They're pretentious snobs my man, keep making videos, and I'll keep showing my support for you!
Cj's Vinyl 🎧👍✨✨🔉
Looks awesome. My ears are too jacked up from the FD to appreciate this .
Dave Powell Thanks Dave! 👌🎼✨
I don’t have anything approaching your gear...just Marantz and Definitive Technology stuff...but your demo sounds great. The sonics are so clean coming through the almost nothing little speaker on my IPad Mini, It would sound highly listenable off an external speaker coming out of the IPAD.
Matt Groveton thanks Matt! 👌🎼✨
woah that is thebest Audiophile System I ever saw..gz mate..u rock
kla jess Very Kind...Thank you for watching! 👌🎼✨
