Audio Addiction end stage: No where left to go! WATCH!

[@artyfhartie2269]

Its a good addiction if you want to call it that if you can afford it. Objects of beauty and ingenuity making music. Happiness is an empty word. It does not exist.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

he admits hes sick tho.And make no mistake no addiction is good.Its very serious and only progresses doesnt magically get better

[@RUfromthe40s]

i still see my components bought in late 80´s as recentelly bought

[@christophergaus3996]

The key is to accept this audio hobby as a problem and enjoy anyway. Join us *steeples fingers* A key way to manage the madness - allow a space, corner or small room/closet dedicated to storage. If you have a room, set up all the crazy in it's dedicated spot THEN - only bring out/have one system running at a time in the main house/living room. Rotate every few months, and enjoy the variety instead of a pile all in the living room all at once 😊

[@greatlookinglandscap]

ahhh so thats how you do it🤣

[@Ricky-cl5bu]

He’s happy with all his stuff , I think it’s great 👍

[@evanbonnell9611]

You shouldn’t assume he has a problem. Seems like he’s having a blast with it.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

He said it himself right from the horses mouth and even devised the title of the video🤷did you not watch the video?I do not assume anything and know better than that in life.I do not judge and my channel focuses on the power of this stuff.So you please do not assume

[@RUfromthe40s]

i have a similar experience but i have three listening rooms at home only a room that was my home office before i retired , also my kids have their own kids so extra empty rooms in the house

[@kieronkelly959]

Impressive collection in the background as well 🤜

[@greatlookinglandscap]

Its unreal to see that many flagship 15k monitors in a room some buried not able to film

[@RUfromthe40s]

wasn´t this guy on discovery channel when needed to talk about old historic devices, only missing the Hat

[@greatlookinglandscap]

😂

[@jhinesjr]

Thanks for introducing Audiopile Records. What a cool guy.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

You bet! hes a very kind person!

[@clickbeetle2720]

🖤I think Geoff is just really passionate about his interest and maybe he has no one else to spend his money on.. and that's ok.. it's not a judgement issue. ♣The man is not being serious when he says 'sick' with a laugh.. he seems like a gentle soul.. one who doesn't like confrontation or upsetting others. ♠On the other hand for example.. when people are passionate about their depressant or stimulant use.. that's a recognised addiction.. but.. if someone were clinically diagnosed as having an addictive personality, then they can be uncontrollably urged to extremes or obsessions of all manner.. from bad behaviour to hoarding golf balls.. It's generally a conclusion based on long term study and diagnoses. 😊Happy to see Geoff's collection.. and respect for the KEF computer speakers!! TY Dave for the great tour!👍 🌏✌& ♥

[@dajikbatarang1]

As long as he didnt go into debt for this, I can see it being ok.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

you say it is but he himself said it is sick

[@dajikbatarang1]

@@greatlookinglandscap if he acknowledges it as a problem then thats the first step.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

absolutely! 🙏

Out on the Beat I see ... AWESOME 😎 ... Wow help him Shrink. Beats wall paper though. Tell him thanks for showing his cave.. Nice to see you get out and talk to people. Show more like this.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

😁I am always out brother.No one will ever see this in one space.Still many high end pairs still buried out of sight!😳

[@GordonPyzik]

You are right. Happieness is helping others achieve a great sounding system.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

darn right.Its helping others period

[@rotorfix]

And yeah, totally agree re: Harbeth/Spendor. They are not high fidelity speakers. Though many don’t realize that due to poor auditory memory or lack of experience with true high end.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

well there good speakers just not to alls taste.Rock per say there just not for that.I love rock!

[@wallstreetcrash1]

Rock on Jeff, God bless ya…🇬🇧👍😁KCB.

[@RUfromthe40s]

those speakers may fly?better atatched them to the shelfs, they look good and in risk of flight

[@rotorfix]

I was able to foresee myself in this exact sort of situation. I had to make a rule that if I acquire a new piece then something else has to leave.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

ya Im the same but different financial situations and financial freedom can bring different behaviors.The best saying is to each his own or live and let live

[@chrisgibson7591]

More annoyed having all those speakers and not having enough room space to listen to them properly

[@greatlookinglandscap]

no one has the perfect room tho.Not even close

[@chrisgibson7591]

​@greatlookinglandscap no criticism of him, he understands what I meant

[@greatlookinglandscap]

@@chrisgibson7591I think he just likes speakers and doesnt even care about the room to be honest

[@chrisgibson7591]

​@greatlookinglandscap if he just likes collecting speakers and doesn't care what they sound like that's fine, because I was including myself in my answer, I've got a pair of high-end speakers and I love having them , my room is also on the small size, but it does get me that people who have the same speakers as me are getting better performance, and I'm never going to hear what the speakers are really capable of, so like I said it wasn't a criticism

[@l67swap1]

The problem with audio is the chase to find that next better piece ... It goes on and on... Its fun if you realize it can get out of hand rather quickly. Great video man

[@greatlookinglandscap]

Thanks.

[@thinkIndependent2024]

The Shrink does House Calls!!! I love it!!!!

[@dclipper8052]

Man, the MP3s that I burn from youtube videos would sound amazing through any of these!

[@greatlookinglandscap]

I am sure!

[@geoffb4334]

This comment was both horrifying and delightful.

[@jonathanmoore8886]

Impressive collection, sad thing is if he doesn't sell it all someone is going to have to deal with it when he passes. More than likely it will be someone that sees it all as a burden. Cool gear though

[@greatlookinglandscap]

mighty impressive to see so many flagship monitors in one place

[@arize84]

He needs to start a gear review channel ASAP!

[@greatlookinglandscap]

good idea ! content for years!

[@arize84]

@greatlookinglandscap He has instant credibility because of how much gear he has been exposed to, and no financial conflicts of interests. He has so much gear, he can compare stuff in similar price brackets and mix and match price brackets to show what extra $$ really give you in terms of performance. He could recommend whole systems based on his experience. The options are endless. You need to convince him.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

@@arize84na cant see him being jnterested at all this youtube is harder on someone than a lot of people think .

[@carlbrown3634]

Wow that's awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

no problemo!

[@RUfromthe40s]

mine started in 71 and in 2021 my father passed away and joined his stupid expensive colection to mine ,the shelfs were already filled now all the floor is filled too ,only some litle spaces so i can get anything in the room, but it´s fine by me some my father even in my 20´s didn´t let me touch them

[@AllboroLCD]

Yea, hes a sick puppy....... He knows and enjoys what hes got though, thats obvious! I'd put some pairs on demo at the record store. Give some people not likely to own this stuff a chance to hear it!

[@AllboroLCD]

I love how buried in there is also a damn soundbar on the wall

[@greatlookinglandscap]

@@AllboroLCDYou wouldnt even believe what was there buried flagship altas,flagship focal utopias.Dozens of 15k monitors

[@Ricky-cl5bu]

The fender turntable nice

[@rvaillant]

Thanks for sharing. When one is tripping over, or being closed in by the gear, then there's a problem and time to move stuff out. Opps, just tripped over an Oracle turntable. See what I mean.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

well thats actually truth many need help!

[@emanuelduke701]

Isn't it truly ironic how many audiophiles will see this gear and say wow, but then consider that this is not really a good thing. Nice guy though, and I hope he considers a different "path". Thanks for sharing, Shrink.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

was tough too see to be honest.But my channel focuses on the power of hifi obsession and this was educative prime example.There was 15k standmonts buried I couldnt even film.Hes a kind man and I understand addiction and love him and want to help

[@christian2123]

Amazing collection!! Was that the Fender Mofi turntable that I saw there near the end?

[@greatlookinglandscap]

ya his budget table 🤣

[@JohnZolla-bp7tl]

When you think you have a problem................ I have KEF LS-50s, Magnepan .7s, Harbeth 30.2s, Harbeth P3ESR XDs, Tannoy XT8 floorstanders and Klipsch RP 600s. I thought I had it bad. But I'm just getting started compared to this guy. Color me impressed.

Great video - Thanks - Did you ask him what his favorites are? I had the Altas - very good but bass a bit uncontrolled.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

his are the flagship Alta all he said is he loves him but hes got so many flagships there he couldnt name a favorite.Just to give an example his focal diablo utopia evo were buried out if site.I mean those little guys are 25k cdn

I would trade all that for one good pair of speakers with 15" woofers. Sigma acoustics orchestra 2.9. ❤

[@greatlookinglandscap]

his flagship monitor audios are pretty damn impressive

[@rxonmymind8362]

@greatlookinglandscap I'm sure it is. But like you said going down that road is an addiction granted we call it a hobby. Right now I have four receivers and I had to check myself two of them are going to be gone. That leaves me with one in the bedroom and one in the living room and that's enough for my house. I just happened to come across a Marantz 2270 for $20 and a Yamaha CR-1020 the next week. Otherwise if I buy a receiver one has to go or I keep the ones that I have in that one goes. Kind of like what you alluded to does the stuff own you or do you own it?

[@robertmata4293]

We're not worthy@!!!!!! 🙌 😮

[@greatlookinglandscap]

[@canadianguy1955]

My first object addiction was guns. Was heavy into that for a few years but have fazed out of that as a purchaser as I have everything I need. But speakers lately have been my jam. I'm looking for some PSB stratus golds to finish off my all Canadian made PSB 7.2 surround sound setup. I saw some mint stratus silvers I'd pick up but dude wants $875cad and that's insane I'd never pay over $500. I'll be getting a new AVR soon, would love to retire the old Yamaha HTR-6240 to the computer room and start doing a 7.1 in there as well.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

nice!

[@autonomous-hm5yf]

Seems most speakers he has are uk brands and I think uk make the best in the world.

[@greatlookinglandscap]

I dont use the word best.Many countries make superb loudspeakers

[@geoffb4334]

LOVE a lot of the British speakers, but I think the Scandinavians are closing the gap.

[@autonomous-hm5yf]

@@geoffb4334 I think the industry has known how to make speakers for a long time and there isn't much that can be done to improve them. I'd say the same for amplifiers. It seems an old brand gets discontinued for the latest version even though there's often no improvement. You don't see this so much with Uk speakers, except for the odd tweak here and there.

[@NosEL34]

About halfway into the video i realized my chest was tightening & i started getting anxious. A million thoughts started flooding my mind. There are numerous speakers in that room that would be good enough for forever happiness. Beautiful gear for sure. I like those Fyne SP speakers as well 👍

[@greatlookinglandscap]

darnt right there is! a plethora of flagship standmounts.What a video to be able to share
