2024 Vinyl / Music Room Tour

[@musicalchurch]

Good Lord Brandon, I'm envious of the space you have to dedicate to our mutual passion. I could only dream of having something like that.

[@WordsRuinMusic]

Brandon, absolutely the best. Wonderful space you got there. That kind of room doesn't happen by accident. You got some skills. lol I would be proud of that. Charles

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks so much my friend! Appreciate the kind words.

[@rarebreed42]

Man…that was incredible!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks for watching! \m/

[@analoguecity3454]

My first LP was thriller May 1984, my first cassette thriller sometime in the summer of 84! My first CD..........LA Guns self titled January 1990 after my mom got me a six disc CD changer for Christmas! I loved that damn thang!😅😊 Watching for a second time!😉

[@Fritha71]

This is not a music room - this is a music heaven!! A yearly treat to see it on video, thanks, Brandon! 😃 PS. Loved the 'wow wall' and the current theme, very clever! 😄

[@mrhoffame]

Ha ha! Thanks so much!

[@goliathsmall2911]

I'm pretty sure if everyone in the world was a record collector, the world would be a peaceful place😊

[@ralex3697]

Well presented Amazing creativity

[@3dimensionsofmusic3D]

As always spectacular Brandon. You have a great imagination and creativity is off the charts 🎉. Great 👍 space. Greg

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks so, so much!!

[@vikingbrace]

If someone has a cooler music room, I haven’t seen it. This is incredible. Thanks for showing us again . And I love those pillows!

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks G man!!! \m/ You're welcome to visit anytime!!

[@TorontoJon]

Wow, what an amazing room and so incredibly well-organized. It's a feast for the eyes and the ears! Bravo! :)

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend!

[@Lazerrus]

Brother Brandon after 14 years this must be my fav room tour yet of yours. I love the layout and separation. Totally functional yet cozy.

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend!! Did you see in the Hallway I still have that piece you made for me years ago! \m/

[@skeLe69]

Simply amazing, Thanks for sharing 👍 My favorites are your custom homemade boxes, love your creativity all the way on your music room. I would like to see your cleaning vinyl process someday. Take care Brandon 🙏

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend. Truly appreciate kit. I'll try to show my process sometime. It is actually quite boring lol Everything I bring in is so clean that all I really do is put it in the ultrasonic cleaner then let it dry lol. Nothing fancy at all lol.

[@skeLe69]

​@@mrhoffame Got ya, no worries, maybe next custom box video then 🙂... will watch them all regardless.

[@MrMovieNight]

Wow! Amazing Amazing room and collection. An audio lovers' dream! Thanks for sharing!

[@brianherrin4277]

Beautiful room. I love the idea with the WOW WALL. Would like to see what other ideas you placed up on the wall.

[@mrhoffame]

Now that I got my new camera I thought about adding that as a series. \m/

[@garrapaterorulez5017]

Hey B, as always killer room tour!!!! 🔥🔥🔥….. I did see the Headbanger’s Ball box set lol 😆 JC/Miami

[@mrhoffame]

Heck yeah man!! That thing is AWESOME!!! I tried to find something to hang it on the wall with, but haven't gotten a go idea yet. \m/

[@MrLovell1971]

Brandon your room tour is amazing I love how diverse and the love of many genres and artists. I truly missed those 25 records for 50 bucks but so happy what we have found over the years. That Wow wall is killer and that Grails record box love it and your creativity is top notch that Metal corner collection is a thing of beauty . Brandon I call you the music man i really enjoyed that collection it’s very inspiring brother take care. Lovellandrew

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks LA! Coming from a seasoned collector like you that means a lot!!!

[@rickandrecords]

Here at the Vinylarium we take great comfort in our 4000 record collection and in knowing there is a local collector with an even more outstanding room/collection nearby. Always impressive. Thx for sharing.

[@mrhoffame]

Ha ha! Thanks my friend!! :)

[@Taprecords]

Very nice!

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks so much!

[@stevemcnary7963]

You are extremely creative in how you set up your music room. Very impressive.

[@petrirantanen]

That's heaven right there! Good to see some High On Fire on your wall. Their latest album is really good. You have everything like it should be. I really wish I had space to take albums from box sets out and put them among the other albums. They would be listened more. I have noticed that too. Cheers from Finland!

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend! Truly appreciate it!

[@dixielandfarm]

I love the decorations in the stairway. I just adore that it looks like a music store. Iceberg - love it. Loved the homemade box sets.

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks so much :)

[@Paneeks1960]

Your music room tours never disappoint Brandon. One of your best setups~ Rob/Boston

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks Rob!! \m/

[@n0s0luti0n]

What a beautiful space! I like that you explained how you used a lot of found items to put it together.

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend. Indeed. Since they don't make a ton of furniture specifically for records and so forth I feel like you really get creative.

[@marksplaceuk2]

Amazing music room, love how you have everything laid out. :)

[@memyselfmyvinyl894]

Nice setup. My space is pretty much a closet. I try and make the most use of it but it gets crowded quickly and often.

[@faridbakshi8684]

Hi super room Thank you from India

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks for watching my friend!

[@krwd]

don't blame you on the phone, they are a money drain item wow nice stairwell, and everything is spaced perfectly 👍👍

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend! Indeed!! spending $1000 buck every year or two for a couple of new apps makes no dam sense to me lol.

[@Frontofshoe]

very sick game room! Love the CD Walls, also jealous of that Gary Numan the Pleasure Principle that's signed.

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend. Yeah, got that Numan signed, but he certainly was being a pain about it. Kept 20 of us waiting for almost 2 hours outside his bus.

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

WOW!!What a beautiful place to relax and listen to great music. Some observations: 1. Im glad to see linda Ronstadt’s Greatest Hits sitting next time your system on the floor. ( I’m a big fan)2. The HPM Pioneer Series speakers. I have them too. Just mine are the 40’s. 3). I have a Sanui 331 receiver. Live the room. Thanks for the tour.

[@mrhoffame]

Linda is a legend for sure. She could sing EVERYTHING!! lol.

[@raycarroll]

Absolutely amazing!!! These are goals for my next place!

[@garysvinyldungeon2764]

My favorite music room tour, man you have a lot of money and time wrapped up in your music room.

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend.

[@colinerswell7490]

Hi. Man. This must be one of the best rooms I've ever seen for music being a big collector myself, you put me to shame with the most amazing room. Love the video the stuff you've got must be worth a fortune. Thanks for the video I really enjoyed watching it was well, put together.

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks so much my friend!

[@BuffaloMike74]

I look forward to your room tour every year. You still have the best set up I have seen to date. Nice work! 🤘

[@SteveSmith-md1fl]

Real nice setup all around. Wish I had that kind of room to devote to music. 👍🤘✌️

[@Thedarkstuff]

Incredible. You’ve always had the coolest music rooms over the years.

[@spindoctorandhisvinylmayhem]

Very cool tour around the room! I think you should admission to enter! Very cool idea with the box sets, I don’t have a lot but I find I don’t listen a lot to what I have because of the accessibility to them but that definitely changes that!

[@memyselfmyvinyl894]

Nice setup. My space is pretty much a closet. I try and make the most use of it but it gets crowded quickly and often. I like the flip bins.

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend. Totally understand. I have had this collection in everything from one small bedroom to this basement to a two bedroom condo. My motto has always been whatever the space is I'm going to plaster as much music all over it as possible lol.

[@analoguecity3454]

Brandon, a video like this one got me to sub to your channel 7 years ago! Just keeps impressing me!😊

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks so much!!! :)

[@joseg4984]

Very cool room. You can feel the music without hearing it

[@mrhoffame]

I like that! I'm gonna have to steal that line lol.

[@JoeSlam.]

Always amazing as usual! You came to mind today as I picked up Orff's "Carmina Burana"conducted by Ozawa.

[@mrhoffame]

Ha ha!! Nice!! Love that piece :)

[@ChrisDons_TheLounge]

As always you got an amazing space!

[@zman3238]

That’s a beautiful spot, dude! Well done 👏

[@flossysmith7307]

Morning Brandon. You have one of the best music rooms I've ever seen. Your absolute passion for music is clear to see. May I add, so chuffed to finally see a VC member show the FREE box set. I have watched so many video's and from what I can remember I think your the only one I've come across who owns a copy. Thanks for the video Brandon, amazing room tour..... "RECORD SHOP".... all the best, Floss.

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend. Yeah, I think after All Right Now many people don't realize free had another single album lol. They were such a awesome classic rock band! \m/

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Awesome 🤘

[@ChrisPropfeMusicallyObsessed]

You have an amazing music room, my friend. Someday, I will hopefully see it in person!!!

[@mrhoffame]

CP...I would soooo love to have you guys come out. It would be fantastic!!! You are always welcome my friend!

[@leeg4875]

I have always loved your music room tour videos. What an amazing space! Have you ever thought about doing a video of your collection of 45s?

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks so much! Never really thought about doing much of a 45s video. I don't put a ton of focus on them so it never really crossed my mind. Maybe give me a few 45 topics you might like to hear about and I'll see what I can do. Thanks so much! :)

[@leeg4875]

Hey, off topic but I know Better than Ezra's second album is on your want list. Experience Vinyl has an exclusive available for pre-order on their website.

[@tedskullhammer]

What an amazing collection! I love your music room :)

[@TheBoomerConsumer]

Awesome setup! Thanks for sharing

[@aaronmuthaalamare4165]

Amazing room tour Brandon! Definitely my favorite music room in the VC! I’d love to sign that picture! Hopefully someday i can make it your way 👍🤘🤘

[@mrhoffame]

Would LOVE to have you brotha!! Any time!!!

[@spinzvinyl]

I wish I still had every album I’ve ever had in my collection. Well done on holding onto that stuff. It’s so cool to see all of the passion and love you put into your music room. It really feels like a peek into your personality and tastes. I didn’t think there was any way you could outdo yourself, but you absolutely have, man. Thanks for sharing!

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks so much my friend!! Truly appreciate it!!! :)

[@vinylshawn4757]

Thank you for showing your room! It’s one of the best I have ever seen.

[@GustavoScafuro]

still the most impressive music room in the vinyl community! Brandon, you're a legend ⭐

[@daveandreahoward8203]

Inspirational

[@ahnaf_ameer_ashraf]

Outstanding 😮❤

[@DrLove-ps7sy]

Amazing room!!! 👏👏👏

[@harrysmusicroom]

WOW very impressive!

[@dimebagdave77]

Thanks B✌️. Edit: fascinating man I love it more every time I see it

[@edpoll15]

Awesome music room.

[@richardriley4415]

Lookin' Good !

[@heavymetalbasement7002]

Your room tours never disappoint. Love the Sansui receiver. What happened to your other main stereo setup and those tower speakers? Killer music room, Brandon!

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend. Yeah, those towers are upstairs in the living room. I have to keep a system up there as well as in the bedroom lol.

[@doodahdavesrecords4319]

Brandon you are like the Tower Records of music rooms! Amazing beautiful daunting and frankly intimidating as a collector and music lover Onward and upward Any grails u want? What are u most proud of RL Led Zep butcher cover your decorated Ronstadt box? Let us know! Thanks again

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks so much my friend! Truly appreciate the kind words and support. If I had to choose the piece I'm mot proud of it would probably be that Stooges Fun House White Label Promo in the condition it is in. I've never seen one online that clean. Grails that I want? Probably a lot of White Label Promo stuff of albums I already have. like Zepplin IV or First 4 Sabbath albums. Stuff like that. More than I could ever afford lol.

[@pc31thevinylpoliceman]

That was a fantastic tour of your music spaces Brandon. You have an unbelievable collection my friend! Did you have Bruce’s signature on BTR on the wall? Mike

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend! ...wait, where did you see Bruce's BTR signed? ...because I SOOOO wish I had that lol.

[@pc31thevinylpoliceman]

@@mrhoffame I must have made a mistake Brandon. I thought the BTR behind you on the wall was signed? Mike …..I have now rewatched the video and at 2.08 you see Bruce but it’s a poster. It was around the time you were saying you frame albums that you got signed and I made the assumption that was a framed album but looking again it’s a poster!! Mike

[@harmlessrebel868]

Looks great Brandon. Makes me want to finish my basement so I can make a huge music room instead of having it all in my office. How is it just having a music room now as opposed to your whole house just being your music room?

[@mrhoffame]

Actually it feels about the exact same since I'm so use to living inside my music room from my previous 4 places lol. I would actually like to spread more of my music room into my family room lol :) I kind of miss having stuff up there too.

[@ConcertBuddie]

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again - best record room in the VC, ever. Now when am I coming over?!?!

[@mrhoffame]

Dude! I've been wanting you to come hang since BEFORE you moved lol. Any time, Any time!!! \m/

[@almcanarisusp]

In 2025, if you don't change anything in your Music Room. If you don't add anything to your collection. I'm still watching your tour. You do such a great curatorial job with your collection. It is a joy to listen to you talking about it. Congratulations. And I have a question: I saw that you have some special cases for your grails. Is there a specific record or object that makes you think about getting a safe to store it?

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend. Yeah, with the grail box there is no real true organization in those boxes. Just pieces that I'm happy to own that top the $300+ dollar range in general.

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Best room ever

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks brotha! Hope you visit it some day! \m/

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Definitely

[@MrCanes2011]

Nice 👍

[@shortfuseartstudio]

Holy crap!! Wow

[@mrhoffame]

Hey there my friend! I had a chance to check out your channel and your artwork if freakn' awesome! I would love to get a piece of your work for my room. Do you do commission pieces? If so what type of prices fall on those?

[@shortfuseartstudio]

@@mrhoffame sure thing! That sounds cool. Who are ya thinking about?

[@shortfuseartstudio]

@@mrhoffame when you get ready, let me know. I love drawing musicians. And thanks for the kind words!

[@Dave30867]

Great room and collections i only have a portion of that many LP s and CD s and i can never listen to all of my albums its a mission indeed . I spent much more on my stereo system for better sound quality.

[@mrhoffame]

There is not wrong way to collect lol. As I knod of mentioned in the video I really lucked out with getting into collecting in a major way 15 years ago. I miss the days with all used records were $3 and new ones were $12.99 lol

[@Dave30867]

@@mrhoffame 😉👍 Nice room thanks for the upload of your passion , I really think you have put many years of work into your setup and collection.

[@juliankitts544]

Wow, your music room is awesome, and very inspiring! Do you keep up with dusting/cleaning the shelves? I imagine that must be a lot of work as well! Also, would love to see a video of your 90s hip hop records. In particular, if you have Bone Thugs and/or Three 6 Mafia. Thanks for sharing!

[@StefanÅberg]

Hi ! Can you do a video with your Nirvana-collection ? /Best regards Stefan

[@mrhoffame]

I don't have a ton or Nirvana stuff outside of the core studio albums, but I'll see what I can do for ya! Thanks my friend! \m/

[@spinzvinyl]

NEW ROOM TOUR!!!!! 🎉

[@RainerSchäfer-u3t]

Hi, how do you choose your Hifi Equipment? Would you call yourself audiophiliac? Would be interesting to see a video, where you dive deeper into your Stereo Systems. Thanks! By the way ... Best room on KZbin. Love it!

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks for watching. I'm not and audiophile in the context that I don't set my eye out on new equipment and try to save $1000s of dollars to buy it, but I do put a focus on putting together the best stuff I can get my hands on. So I do pay attention to my system and make adjustment to try to enhance playback for sure.

[@twangology]

what a beautiful music library room - love how it's setup kind of like a record store, I think it's better to be able to flip through the vinyl like that and you can appreciate the album art. What clear out sleeves do you use to re-sleeve?

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks my friend! I use the crystal clear resealable sleeves from bagsunlimited I really dig those a lot. For inner sleeves as long as it is a rice paper sleeve I dint care what brant. :)

[@twangology]

@@mrhoffame thanks!

[@coytebryson3059]

I love the space! What model of speakers are in the main area?

[@mrhoffame]

Thanks so much. Those big floor speakers are Pioneer HPM100s. A fantastic vintage speaker. I'm sure you have probably heard of the JBL100s? Well he guy who designed those left JBL back in the day, went to Pioneer and make this speaker to compete with the JBLs. They are pretty amazing My B&W 703s couldn't even really compete with these.

[@coytebryson3059]

@@mrhoffame Thank you 😊

[@richardoconnor_photography]

Love it Brandon! Where do you live? In a Record Store.

[@mrhoffame]

That is the idea lol!!! :)

[@dekadent6622]

is this a record store?

[@mrhoffame]

Yep!! One where everything is FREE for me LOL. Thanks for watching!

[@davepounds8924]

Holy smokes! That is not a collection of your music that is more like a library! You don’t feel the need to purge the music you’re not playing???? Hopefully you never have to move!!!

[@mrhoffame]

Ah man! I've moved this collection 5 times in the past 15 years so I"m pro at that lol. As far as the purge. For the most part I have one simple rule and this is. I don't bring anything into my collection that i don't feel I actually want to listen to again. As far as how often I make it back to that record has not meaning to me because I know I actually like more music than I can repeatedly listen to. So for me there may be an album I haven't spun in 3 years. If I love it I will keep bc it''s an active music love for me. Great example is this morning I spun Elliot Smith's album "An Introduction to...." Love it and it was a great listen during breakfast. I have not spun that in probable 2-3 years, but this morning I had a craving to hear it and it was there. So for me personally frequency of spin is much less important than if I love the album. :) Thanks my friend.

[@JackTheMusicGuy]

​@mrhoffame that's wonderfully said I also enjoy hearing an album that I loved on a last listen then listening to it again after a long time there is just a feeling that is awesome while doing it!
