Why do people even like this? I think this is the most disgusting cocktail of them all. I mean you can also put a huge dead cockroach on it.

I'm 44 and have collected and listened to music since about 10 but really stepping it up when I got to 20. Most of my collection is cd's roughly about a 1000 and have roughly 200 vinyl at a guess. As this guy says I like them both but some random observations.. This might be quite long.. I find some stuff does sound better on vinyl especially analog stuff from the 70's the sound seems to breathe more on some records and the sound can be almost pure if that makes sense lacking digital harshness. Also I love the artwork and the ritual and listening to the whole thing not skipping tracks and getting the full album experience. My main problems with it are the price of it has got ridiculous (Im talking about new vinyl). It seems the industry hasn't learnt from when cd's and tapes were overpriced and people resorted to piracy. I remember around 89 a terence trent d'arbt tape being £12.99 fast forward 10 years you couldnt give them away. A supergrass and aphex twin album being £16.99.. When I started buying a few im the 2000's there were some good bargains in charity shops in good condition like a def jam sampler record for a quid and I regularly got 7'' like libertines, arctic monkeys lots of indie stuff for 99p and £1.99. Even new albums were rarely more than 12 quid and some cult second hand classics at record fairs unavailable on cd in some cases were about 10-15, think most I paid was 18 quid for joy division closer. Now obviously there's hardly any 7'' but i've seen ones for 8 quid and your bog standard release is about 20 quid but upto 40 quid. So it becomes a kind of luxury purchase if was feeling flush. My next point is a lot of cd's in my collection I have bought or retained simply for 1 or 2 tracks (usually more but you get the drift) . Out of my entire cd collection the records I would play start to finish the stone cold classics would be 10% maximum. My main pleasure would be a mate would come round and I'd sort of dj. 50% of time it's be the full album but more often than not it'd be maybe 20 cd's played, some just for a couple of tracks. On vinyl that is very laborious - especially if you are clumsy like me. Also factor in we are drinking and having a smoke having fun.. If I just used vinyl the records would be messed up and would end up tatty and it would be a total faff. It was bad enough putting away the cd's piled on floor after a good night. If you just want to listen to classic albums in a sterile environment fair enough but you can't take chances on a vinyl as much as cd. The other thing is I think for vinyl to sound good you need a very good system. I'm not technically minded so the needle, the stylus, cleaning.. it's too much hassle. I got a marantz cd player and was staggered in the difference with soundstage, clarity and detail and it was like rediscovering my cd collection and that was 300 quid cash converters. If I wanted to get a similar sound for vinyl i'd need to spend at least 600 for a turntable. I have cd's from 90's and older ones from 80s second hand they sound perfect with no degredation whatsoever and i've hammered them. When cd came out they record industry thought it was suicide allowing the public to have access to studio quality masters. To achieve that sound with vinyl you can't play it constantly without degrading sound quality crackles, pops, scratches and you have to be very careful. But like I say I do like them both it's just you get more bang for your buck with cd. I think also a lot of people who like cd like the mastering and some cd's are ridiculous in their loudness, they seem to assume your average person who buys one will just whack it in a car stereo and want it to sound good but there's so many variables like how the record was produced, mastered, recorded.. But it can be mastered well on cd. Guess it depends on your listening habits but like I said if you have a compilation with some amazing tracks the rest filler it's such a hassle changing tracks on vinyl. But whatever your preference and like I say I love the ritual and artwork of vinyl all of this is better than streaming, mp3 I can tell the difference easy but even if you had the wav files on a drive and didn’t need internet connection and had access to every track (which there are loads of tracks that aren't on internet that were forgetten) it's not the same as having a browse and excitedly rushing home and pressing play. It's too immediate and you get out what you put in. What I also hate is finding a track I love and it's not even available on cd just a digital download. Not for me thanks I don't want to fire up a computer to listen that's no fun for me. I could go on with more points but i've banged on way longer than I should but to be consise there's so many factors to it but to say that 1 persay is better 100% I don't think you can.

I've had one working fine for years. Ink consumption is not bad at all. Does not take 20 minutes to be ready. Maybe that's why he's an Audio Guy and not a print guy!

I have a copy and the ois only gives sharp images at around 1/70th SS.. believe that though i get good images on my 50s mark 1 (no ibis), the images have the motion ghosting/shake like when you do a second curtain flash sync for artistic work…I’m not sure if it’s the lens ois system or the camera settings i wanted to check with you regarding that if you have similar experience when you don’t use ibis? Thanks

Hi Clint, I've had the PS500e for years. Bought the RS1x as an upgrade but returned them as I still preferred the PS500e. I'm curious about the hemps. How would you say they compare in sound?

I use pre made cables with banana plugs on my front 3 speakers and FosPower bananas on my in/on wall speakers

Hey Clint, nice to see a new video! What speakers are those? I thought you were using some Totem bookshelf speakers in the theater?

My favorite lenses for head & shoulder portraits with full-frame cameras are: 135mm f/2 Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 Nikkor macro 85mm f/1.4 Nikkor auto focus

Outstanding 2 channel setup. I'm green with envy.

My dream hole very very masculine

Super nice theather but you should listen to "breath" by James Nestor, as you were mouth-breating like you've been sprinting up ten flights of stairs

I have Gale 4i and after I made some small modification kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmfNmIKPadKnhrc , they sounds much better after modification . And they sounds much bigger than looks like Totem...

why didnt you name the projector model? you realize most of us know exactly the models etc we arent suburban housewives

I made a rubber band ball two

Wow! Wow! Wow!.....quite frankly the NICEST most luxurous lower level I've seen on a large estate home. I'd love to tour the whole house upstairs because I can only imagine the quality. This finished basement is LUX to the tenth degree !! A masterpiece !!! What was the dollar investment for the whole lower level?

One of the Best designs I've seen yet!

Thanks for this. Mine comes this week!

Absolutely love the details! The bar behind the theatre seating is spot on!

Beautiful brother awesome job that’s plenty of bass for the open concept.💪🏻

Thanks for posting this video Clint. I have a question for you & your viewers. I have a pair of vintage Qln speakers. I am using the Parasound Halo P6 Preamp as my primary DAC. I am looking for a 2nd preamp that is detailed & is slightly on the warm side of neutral. I have narrowed my preamp search down to 2 units...the Parasound JC2PB & the McIntosh C49. Which would you choose & why? Thanks!-

I wasn't obsessed with rubbur band ball years ago but i just don't know what to do with 70 rubber band

Thanks for the great video. May I ask what the orange speaker boxes are? I can only find on-drywall boxes for the speakers. I want to put them in the studs like you did. What did you use? Any links? Thanks again.

super nice! well thought out

Magnificent!!!

Looks good and delicious 😊

Perfect balanced meal

Looks great. I often make something similar for a dinner. Rice, Garbanzo beans and tuna with some garlic, onions in olive oil and seasoning. I like the idea of adding the veggies and bacon. Should bump up the taste. Enjoy!

I love the open concept theater. Classy. Different than the norm, panic inducing, closed in home theaters. Thank you for not having awful background music during the tour:)

I still believe my basement is better.....Keep trying!

Beautiful setup.

Great bones make your good components sound much better. But, they can also show it's limitations. That is my experience at least. 😊

Awesome. I hope you use the crap out of that

Looks awesome

Now I know what to tell my contractor what good looks like ❤

That's amazing 😮 whos the customer... Bill Gates. 😅

I don’t like open theater

I thought our Rheem from 97 was old. What a beast

Questions for you. Who was the builder and guesstimate on how much this cost

I would live in the basement and never go upstairs. lol

Open theater👎🏽

Peak.

Yeah. Protect this thing at all costs. Don’t let anyone try to talk you into replacing it because it’s old. The new stuff they make is just garbage

microwave popcorn ? why not get a nice popcorn machine to fit the theme

Its so perfect I swore it was VR! 😳 Beautiful Job!

My band director has a fake rolex that he got for 30 bucks from some guy selling it outside of a store

Thats a really classy watch

Anybody who references Tommy Boy is a friend of mine!! LOL

Well I Must Say This One Awesome Set Up Very Beautiful

That's, not, good, enough for meeeeeee, please do better

Just bought my 9 year old grandson a L500 for his Birthday
