Johnny and the guys at 3MA rule! They’ve sold me components and do an excellent job tuning and setting everything up just right! Love their new place!!

[@samuelcain5426]

Awesome job Jay thanks for sharing.

[@jaysaudiolab]

Thanks for watching!

[@tictocdoc6958]

I think these store showcases make for top shelf content. We get to see lots of different gear in a short period of time. Also, dealer perspectives and opinions are always great. Thanks Jay

[@geniusjoe]

Audiophile Grade Outlets are UNBELIEVABLY important. Great job noticing that Jay. Get some NRG Edisons!

[@beyondonethousand]

I totally agree with that. I switched from Shunyata SR-Z1 brass outlets to Furutech GTX-D NCF Rodium with wall plate for my system and absolutely no comparison. The Furutech is not even broken in yet.

[@AD-rl4jv]

3MA is where I bought my speakers, they are great!

[@johnhovanec6240]

[@jaysaudiolab]

Our pleasure!

[@peterfreeman3317]

What a showroom. Good luck!

[@mr_teateas]

Thats amazing how much work and money involves to create such an environment to listen decent music.

[@jaysaudiolab]

Indeed

[@louv4437]

What an impressive store! Thanks for showing us! Adding subs to Magico which go down to 22hrtz by themselves is crazy lol but cool

[@CobraChamp]

John Hunter really has audiophile speak down!

[@royli3260]

Well done - that is one amazing store! Thanks for the coverage!

[@jaysaudiolab]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeffgrayson7639]

Unbelievable store. They put so much work into each room. Great segment Jay.

[@jaysaudiolab]

Thanks for watching!

[@sidvicious3129]

Jay, this was amazing!!!

[@Metranger-xd4bt]

Great video Jay...Audiophile outlets are the way to go...Are they using Balanced Power in the MBL room or for all rooms? Seems like they would but it wasn't mentioned. Thanks.

[@jaysaudiolab]

Both!

[@Metranger-xd4bt]

@@jaysaudiolab Awesome! They got 1 of those big ol transformer wall units like the Equitech 10 WQ or the like? The store was freaking beautiful. I hope they thrive....

[@gdwlaw5549]

Very nice. I’ll stick with my rega system as our building would collapse! Thanks very much xxx

[@joelowens5211]

Yes I believe in cables. Have all dragon cables for everything speakers, inputs etc. Only thing not is Audioquest WEL signature cables for transfer. Dragons are pure silver so will sound a little sharp when first used out of the box but then after you put in some hours will roll off nicely over time. Their lower all copper lines have nice sound but not as open and not as technical. The next level up the copper and silver mix have a nice combo to them. I have the Audioquest power outlets with separate 10 gage copper romex runs to the electrical panel. If you go that route a power conditioner is really not needed as higher end pieces have that built in already. If you have lower level items then a power conditioner can often help but the conditioner can sometimes starve the gear from it's full potential. I like staying pure and running the lines direct. Think about an awesome piece of equipment that gets to drink through a tiny straw ( cheap electrical outlet and wiring ). It's not going to do it's best like that. People with 10k systems aren't going to typically see value in 20k to 30k a pop wiring. Just do the best for your budget and a good store owner will usually show you most bang for the buck possible. I do not care for Audio research I like VAC a lot more.

[@joelowens5211]

@@robcoon2480 I have niagara for things like my vivaldi DCS stack etc. My vac pre-amp and vac 452 iq musicblocks have their own filters. I did split testing and optimized my system over a years time the best way to have the cables and connections. Speakers are Sonus Faber Aida 2's. I still like listening to other systems but see keeping what I have at least for the next decade.

[@robcoon2480]

Thanks for sharing. I will say though, using Niagara 7000/5000 will still provide benefit to even the very best systems. The high current outlets for example, offer 90 amps of Transient Power Correction. It’s like a turbo for your amplifiers. Happy Listening and enjoy your Dragons!

[@imosolar]

Great content and please more stores review

[@talahoma]

Amazing store, makes me contemplate moving to Houston. Great video, Jay!

[@jaysaudiolab]

You should!

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jaysaudiolab]

Thanks Marty

[@StanThePigeon]

I’ll be there in 2 weeks. Worth noting Icon luxury sound not too far away…I love those guys!

[@ryanstanley2985]

Sometimes I think how a tiny microphone records music that a million dollar system can't play it 😄 Until now, I have never been able to find any speaker to give me a sound like I heard in Boston's symphony hall classical concert.

[@elliotg.5383]

Fantastic Store- best ofl luck to them and lots of credit for the investment they made in that market!

[@jaysaudiolab]

Yes indeed!

[@johnlehew8192]

Welcome to Houston Jay! Get some beef Fajitas while you’re in town!

[@mugen2002]

I recommend the Furutech NCF outlet over the Audioquest. The Audioquest grips stronger, but it will shave off a layer of metal each time you put in/remove a cable. The Furutech outlet needs some support with heavy cables though, their NCF booster riser works well. Block Audio makes a locking cover too. I had a standard Leviton 20 amp and PS audio outlet beforehand.

[@beyondonethousand]

I use the Furutech GTX-D NCF-R. The best out there.

[@a.s.2426]

Impressive place. I know how hard it can be to make the economics of retail work these days. Hope they are successful with the new location.

[@Toki1908]

watching the tour video living 3 min walking distance from that place xD

[@mauricecuffee7220]

Will you left Sonus Faber!!! Thanks for all the advice over the years!!!

[@evanbonnell9611]

John Hunter is a genius. Really a brilliant man.

[@louv4437]

Jay you said you have a pair of Magico S3’s are those the MK3’s and if so are they for sale? The brand new MK3 version of the magicos are excellent

[@jaysaudiolab]

I have s7 mágicos for sale.

[@rw3915]

Acora bought Audio Research and saved them from going out of business. It's curious why the Ref 6 SE was chosen instead of the Ref 10, which has a dual mono power supply in a separate chassis.

[@ponch0068]

What’s the name of the company that make the ceiling acoustics in the 1st room you went into?

[@johnnyyip5679]

Artnovion

[@brentcollins9727]

Guys. I shit you not. There is nothing. NOTHING in this world that sounds better than that Audio Research / Acora system.

[@ChicagoRob2]

Have not heard Acora, but I’m a BIG fan of Audio Research.

[@MasterofPlay7]

Heard acora with dgastino at shows, they are not that impressive

[@davidcross890]

Nothing Sounds Better???? Please be REAL?????

[@Gez492]

You said what immediately came to my mind. I remember having a moment when I heard a top flight Audionote system. It was as if I had never kistened properly before but I couldn't say excluding all others, Nothing would sound better. That's just plain cloth eared nonsense

[@louv4437]

I bet it sounds very good but I promise their is better many systems combo’s are much better

[@davidcross890]

From a physics and engineering and APPLIED Materials and Sciences perspective there are still a lot of very significant audible improvements to be had through far greater developments that have ALREADY been completed that are possible today. I hope manufacturers and their sales pitchmen will make a far better efforts to catch up regarding their qualities with their products beyond archaic basics. This is 2024 and some are far more discerning on audio and financially capable and not everyone is buying all the lines. It seems obvious why so many of the supposed ultra high end crowd are apparently afraid to do REAL COMPARATIVE TESTING AGAINST GENUINE STATE OF THE DEVELOPED ART. It could benefit the hobby greatly with far greater displayed honesty of performance shown by real comparative testing by people who are truly knowledgeable, competent, and honest.

[@markwilson5262]

[@andygrenn680]

Wonder if Shatki Stone is available at the check out desk…

[@SAGNI0971]

The Acoras are nice sculpture but at Capital Audio expo last year they presented very bright, harsh in the upper register, shredded my ears. They are dynamic and fast to a fault.

[@Derffee]

I agree with the guy from rell acoustics about the sound staging and generally you listen to a band waste height when you should be looking up at the music as you would a band. This is what I look for in a music systems at shows I might have told you this before, but was very disappointed with the magical S 3 at a show because he was looking way down at the music

[@jharloe]

Looks like -1 for Sonus Faber

[@kurthill7030]

Jay, give us some music, not only talks about systems :).

This is not MTV or VH1 😂

$218,000 for those? Come on people. God gave you a brain and provided wisdom to be downloaded into the brain.

[@motorcopT2]

Like they say “ if you don’t know, you just don’t know.”

[@motorcopT2]

As a beginner, I would feel out of place in a room full of people who are experts. It seems like the experts try to show you their expertise through word salads that cause you to lose interest in the product. I noticed Jay speaks in simplistic terms and causes you to remain focused on the topic. Also, some people want to keep prices hush hush so after feeding you the word salad they want the price to sneak up on you like slow gin. Jay puts them on blast and just comes out and asks “how much is this?” You can almost hear the hesitation in their voices when they realize they have to justify it proudly in real time. It reminds me of going on a date and the guy doesn’t wait for a kiss when he drops her off at the end of the evening, he’s like nah let me get one at the beginning when I pick her up so I know what kind of party this is. Are we going to La Pierre’s for diner or are we having chow at Mickey D’s! Jay just has a down to earth way about him that makes a guys guy feel comfortable. He looks out of place. Jay doesn’t look or sound like most of the experts in his field but after reading some of the comments, it almost sounds like they are a bit jealous of him. Keep doing your thing Jay, you are getting me to want to connect with you for a new system when my house is completed.

If recorded on tape, why turn it into zeroes and ones, or scrunch it onto vinyl? Um. For starters, because the tape player is $55k, and the tapes are a couple of hundred bucks a pop?
