This is one of my favorite videos. I Love seeing other systems. High end is not what other people say it is... it’s what we love and build our systems and get true enjoyment of music from our systems. One of life’s greatest pleasures is the enjoyment of music.
Exactly ...
Mr. Guttenberg, hope you make this a regular feature. Fun to see other's systems!
Thanks, it is a regular feature that I do every few months, check the playlist to see more of the stuff!
There are audiophiles all around the world. Love it!
I love that guy who lets his son build his trains!!!
I really love seeing these pictures. Some of the vintage items, I've owned, sold, or repaired. It's wonderful to see the new as well as the vintage.
As the Marvelous Stan Lee used to say ... Excelsior!
8:02 in , is my system! I have a vintage audio UA-cam channel...My Own Devices. Thanks, Steve.
Nice! Love the photos and the DIY stuff.
Hey Steve! Keith here in Southern California. I really liked this segment. It’s so fun seeing people proud of their gear. I feel the same about mine. A lot of people out there cannot understand the enjoyment music can bring played on two channel stereo system (or on a good mono system). We can! Anyways, I really like your videos. It’s all about having fun. Your videos are fun (and educational). I’d like to submit a pic of my gear in the next couple months or when you do this segment again. Until then, keep the videos coming. They’re great.
Copenhagen here. Another great video from you Steve. Thanks for showing all these fantastic set ups. Have a wonderful weekend with wifey. 💕
This is awesome Steve! Hopefully I’ll be paying close enough attention to get my vintage set up in the next installment!
Thanks Steve for doing this, I'll be sending in a photo the next go around...
Why in the hell would anyone give this a thumbs down !!! Okay its a free world and your entitled to your own options . All I say to those whom give thumbs down ..YOUR VERY ...VERY SAD PEOPLE !!! By Far these are Steve's finest videos he creates absolutely love it . Peace Out from London ,UK
Just gave it a thumbs down! I just love being ironic!
I like that collage. Is that Robyn’s work?
John must be from Texas where everything is bigger!
Wisconsin
I love these videos of viewer’s systems. You could do an entire Channel of just those. 😆
Very cool! Thanks
Excellent!
Cal Tjader! Soul Sauce, baby!
Some great systems in nice homes. I didn't know there were mono enthusiasts.
Whish Stevewould highlight Ohm Walsh speakers sometime.
Can you please make a review about the FiiO ka3 dac
nice! thanks for sharing.
Very Nice!
Love this videos...
I can't believe he doesn't know the Iotavx sa3
Looking for a DAC to complement a reallly Old Pioneer amp from late 70’s. Any recommendations?
Google my Border Patrol dac review
IOTAVX is pronounced I.O.TA. V.X. which stands for Internet Of Things Audio Video Experience.
I didn't make the cut. 😢
Ok, I just gotta know.... how many headphones do you have???? lol Every time I watch your videos, I see headphones hidden in the background, on the shelves, hanging on pipes or hidden between books. lol
😳🤯
Im sure this has been discussed to death and I apologize for being late to this (I’ve had to keep myself out of high end audio for about 15 years to buy a house and start a family and am just getting back in) but why on earth name a company schiit? And why does everyone seem to have their stuff?
Mike Moffat and Jason Stoddard decided to step down from the crazy world of high end audio. They now make fun high quality affordable products here in the USA.
In my bedroom I have a Schiit Vali 2/Modi Multibit for my headphones. In the living room I have a Modi 3 and Saga preamp feeding my tube amp and speakers. On my main system I have a Gungnir Multibit and a Jotunheim with a phono card that I am using as a preamp. Their Schiit is simple, affordable and very high quality.
@@stephenbrockway5899 so the name is tongue in cheek? Thanks for your patience
@@scottkasper6378 their whole attitude is tounge in cheek/irreverent. Read the FAQ section on their products. It is great for a laugh. Mike Moffat was the first one to design a stand alone DAC... back in the eighties.
And the second round of grown men crying starts, pathetic
Nice stuff ... Does anybody have any experience with AMT 1B?
Seeing these systems makes me realize dang, I need to clean my house!
Clean your system instead (especially connections and interconnects). I just did and it made one hell of a difference
Video idea : talking about your experience with ear/hearing problems in the past, as a music lover I think there’s really nothing worse and how you dealt with it
@@davidfromamerica1871 glad your still enjoying it! I’m 23 and my right ear just felt clogged up and muffled but I got it checked out and got a hearing test but they said I was fine , but it really affected the way I listened to music I couldn’t enjoy it , this went on for 3 months and it’s finally clearing up , no idea what it was but I wouldn’t wish it on anyone ! Stay safe
@@shanec6664 Nothing more wonderful than when something degrading your quality of life clears up by itself.
@@thegrimyeaper I’d stopped buying records and everything , Then I stopped caring and it just went away , it was crazy
I lost hearing due to big guns in the service. If you need hearing aids, work with a good audiologist to rind a hearing aid that works for you. Some hearing aids have a "Music" setting. Not perfect but pretty darn good. With digital technology, they can tune your listening curve to make music pleasant. For instance if you have a sensitivity to high end brightness or harshness, they can lower those frequencies. The second thing at least for me was to make the system mellow. No metal dome tweeters, neutral electronic and speakers that some other people might find not bright enough. For example, ELAC DRB 62 debut reference or Dynaudio Evoke line of speakers. Even cables can make a difference, I avoid silver plated copper. In my experience add brightness. People are different, you just need to work with it. One last thing. If you have allergies that can effect your hearing, clog your hearing canal. Medicine can keep that clear. Dr. Audio.
@Jingle Nuts I should have noted that in my experience, silver plated copper Digital Coax cables are very good. Just my experience.
Wow! Thanks for showing my system!
Adrian
YES ! thanks for including my home made speakers ! As the second one ! They sound alive ! JBL and years of me tweaking!
And the mini speakers are 3/4” walnut. No big deal
It’s cool to see other people’s creativity when it comes to there enjoyment of music . I feel there is no wrong or right . It’s the feeling you get when you sit down AND listen to your tunes in your setup of choice
They must have removed the roof to get that RCA system in the house, that's insane 🤪
Lowered it with a rescue helicopter 😂
I designed my home to house such things. And RCA designed the horn to fit a standard 36"w doorway.
@@kloss213
Wow, that is insane 👍
The pure GENIUS of tuning the room with a kid's train set. I'M NOT WORTHY.. LOL. Kidding aside, I'd like to be the Audiophile version of Guy Fiery. Just cruising the country to spend an afternoon with the owners of these rooms. Congratulations to all. Thanks for bringing this to us Steve.
Wow, those Goldmunds must worth as much as the house
That RCA horn system, wow!
Here is my system. Do you see a weakness? Cornwall IVs, Pioneer SX1280, Rega P8, Sony M555ES CD player, Douk preamp. My room is 12 x 24 and full of furniture. 0:02
OK Steve, between your reviews and Jay iyagi's I decided to get the Hegel H190 and I just ordered the LRS+ from Magnepan. Thanks!
Steve Gutenberg didn't know your from Brooklyn, with you being from New York City I know you shop at the B&H store in Manhattan. Where do you get your audio gear.
Still more bookshelf speakers on stands taking up just as much room as a floor-stander would!! 4 years now as a newbie audiophile, still don't get it, still never had a satisfactory explanation why you would choose that route! ?????
IKR? By the time you spend the money on good bookshelf speakers and good stands, could have had the floorstanders, that’s what I did. There’s a misconception that floorstanders can be to much speaker for the room, don’t understand that one either.
Floor standers can be expensive, at least the bookshelf’s are in a optimal position for best audio delivery instead of being on a bookshelf or hung on a wall, two installations which I deeply detest.
Imaging and soundstaging...
My preference is towards large, powerfully dynamic speakers.
However, small, capable, well executed two ways, that are properly set up can perform a disappearing act that's often a challenge for larger baffle fronts.
Smaller standmounts are easier to physically locate/set up just perfectly.
There’s two very good replies to your question here.
Imagining, soundstage and the speakers ability to disappear.
When you hear that done well it’s difficult to listen to mainstream floorstanders.
The other factor is if you live in the UK or Europe living rooms are much smaller so people’s expectations are somewhat different. Delicacy and articulacy win over PA sound pressure levels and huge bass.
I’ve tried a few times over the last 30 years to find a big lump of a floorstander as they do sometimes look impressive. They just never cut it sound wise.
Cheers
Ps. There’s another reason people prefer standpoints over floorstanders. Speed.
@@jim586 I'm not in anyway anti-bookshelf in fact I have bookshelf speakers in three other rooms in my house! Imaginging err.. maybe I guess but better soundstage from a bookshelf I find a bit bemusing! For my main system I would never consider a bookshelf speaker . Maybe it's slightly dependent on the kind of music you generally listen to! And hey we certainly don't all see the world in the same way so why would we all hear it the same! 😉
Talking about seriously good hifi. Is it possible to review equipment from Oswald Mills Audio (OMA). Always looking forward to your honest and interesting reviews Steve.
Hi again dude. In case you have not come across it, Emmanuel Santarromana Mètropolitain. The track Opèra is totally there. Play it you will see.
How many people who watch this don’t know your story?
1) you worked for Sound By Singer in Manhattan selling high end audio, then you became an Audio Reviewer! then your started your UA-cam channel 2-3 years ago?
Very pretty eye candy. But only one photo showed Wall Treatments and Bass Traps. And in that system, the foam "egg crate" style is used. This material does almost nothing as demonstrated through measurements reported in several places. I consider reducing resonant behavior and secondary reflections just as important as choice of an amp. For about $5K, one can do a very good job at reducing frequency response and time errors, especially in the bass and mid-bass (70Hz to 700Hz). That's less than one spends on an "audiophile" power amp. The addition of scatterers on the wall behind the listening position will reduce reflections and most importantly, improve imaging. I was very pleasantly surprised after I had installed my wall absorbers and scatterers and corner traps.
very nice, great systems
That LS/50 system made me wonder how a pair of large LS-50 would sound. Like big as the source point 10. They looked huge in that pic
Awesume systems, but kids and cats? Yikes! My system went in storage till kids were on their own. Cool thing after 20 years it's fun again.
Love the room where the two kids play. Trains and HiFi. Ha! Also, it’s good to see that dad lets his son get right into the mix of his gear. Made to be used!
How do I showcase my system. I haven’t found many kindred audiophiles in Utah
6:29 Dang! That reminds me of the speaker in Back to the Future that blew Michael J. Fox across the room. 🤣
Thank you for showing my system at 8.52! Greetings from Argentina
Nice seeing that there are other people like me that Love Stereo equipment and Cats, and mine never touches speaker grills with claws, more than I can say about leather couches and chairs thrown in trash.
people have really crazy sound caves ;-)
Awesome video. It's 3 am and now this video makes me wanna listen to my stereo. Cheers everybody. Stay safe
Good morning Steve from San Antonio Texas
hifi schmi fi - i need that train set! the rigs; vive la difference!
Vintage can be awesome BUT you REALLY gotta know what you're doing!
good day steve! i would like to post subject - the future of audio... AI in audio both music source & equipment. What so you think??😊
Sure why not? Do it!
I love these episodes.
Advents! My first good speakers.
Very inspiring pictures! Really beautiful stuff.
One thing I noted, at least visually a lot of speakers seem to be disproportionally big for the room. Maybe sonically is ok...
Very cool pictures, loved the opening hidden light one. The only thing that could beat this is to hear the systems.
I was going to say that the enthusiasm shown is infectious... but I think I should find a better word 😅
Hello from Mumbai (Bombay) India! Would you at all be interested in my home-theatre system, housed in a dedicated room? If so, please let me know how to proceed. Thank you for a very interesting, informative channel.
Sure, please send JPEG’s to me at audiophiliac@mail.com
Thanks.
Thank you, Steve. How do I submit my system photo's to you?
Cheers
Rob
Send JPEGs and a complete description of the system, very important in one email! Audiophiliac@mail.com
Lots of marvels here! Thanks for sharing, folks.
3:35 Now that's just downright cozy.
Indeed
Re the B&O BeoVox' ... its not too often when I'm familiar with loudspeakers that SteveMo has never seen before.
Quite distinctive, I knew them immediately.
Most of my equipment is shit....👍🏻
Love the reel to reel. You can't beat them for tape
Interesting pics.
And Roxy and Patti in the same photo!
Love the content Steve awesome idea
What do you think about the GOOGLE Speakers?
Not much, but I reviewed the Google max on my blog for CNET
Very fun video Steve!!
Quietest shirt of 2021
...and a nice Schiit Stack.
Awesome setups
Love your subbscriber pic sessions!
i'm thinkin of gettin a dt770 pro [the 80 ohms one] and a creative dac.
any views?
I have it and the dt 990 too, i prefer the latter for the clarity, but if u need closed back then dt770 is very solid
@@matt.pma.kresnaputra5458 i'm new to the headphone scene and have been usin an hd 202ii for the past 4 years. what do you suggest, the 770 or the 990?
@@karigori6415 you’ll have to audition both at a store to see which u like, but covid so... thats hard to do. If u need it to be closed back (u use it for studio/class/travelling) then obviously just get the 770, the 990 is open back and leaks sound.
@@matt.pma.kresnaputra5458 thanks!
And the Winner is ZU!
*crazily good
Way too many cats
Lots of ZUs wonder how they sound???
Good staff!
IOTA VX,, integrated amp,, pronounced,,
Like Toyota,,, but eye instead of toy... The VX is exactly that,,VX
👍
All these system look outstanding !! Love watching your videos. Just started doing some videos on my simple Marantz Wharfedale Rega setup. Have to send some pictures in soon. Build my Turntable Stand out of Blanks of wood for guitar bodies and Baseball Bats. Very pleased with the results.
They say I-O-TA-V-X and I’m waiting for your opinion on this one as it is supposed to be a great bang for the buck, very neutral and may be bridged to its amplifier pal the PA3, to get to a more muscular 100W presentation as they say.... ;-) up until now I cannot find anything at this combo price range to make sure that I will get as much as possible out of my in coming KEF Q550. Any recommendations until then? 😊
Working on doing something like this for you. Well not like THIS maybe! I'm setting up a new place and the last few weeks have been agonising what equipment to get. Second home, smaller rooms don't want to go nuts. Ran into a few brick walls. Equipment I want isn't sold here. Trials are out of the question. Equipment I do find I've never heard of. But then I found a Harman Kardon 930 Twin Power on Ebay. Have put in a bid - buying on ebay is kinda Russian Roulette as no idea if you'll get a racehorse or a dead dog. But I think going retro is the best idea for me. Now to find speakers (eyeing some Celestion Ditton 240s). Just frustrating trying to do this without seeing or hearing. You have any knowledge about 1970s H/K sound? And Celestion?
Come on Steve get it together haha it's iota is how you pronounce it iota vx
Nice wood I don't think that's a hi-fi term be careful what you're saying haha
When is the next time, I wanted to send you pictures to share and see what you think 🤔 I would like to suggest that you do this every week these are great and shows such a diversity of systems for all budgets!
Such amazing viewers systems, steve knocked this out the park, love his show, knowbody does this better, ya just gotta love what he does.
Brilliant.. Bar raised yet again.. cheers Steve. 🏴🎱🐙🙏
With work meetings all being on video conference these days, I'm always checking out the background to see if I can spy any audio gear. These videos scratch my kit voyeuristic itch a treat. Thanks Steve and all contributors.
Nice
All the vintage equipment reminds me of Barzilay wall systems that used to advertise in Audio and High Fidelity magazines. A friend just took one down in mint condition and could not find someone to buy it. I really wanted it but didn't have a place in the house for it.
Love your videos, Steve.
Thanks for watching!
