Music Room Tour May 2015

[@fredzep01]

what a beautiful home, your views are stunning, you must feel blessed looking out over those fields with soundgarden blasting out behind you. ha ha ha. i have the same picture > fear and loathing, color version.

[@alfievinyl4930]

Da kann man ja nur neidisch werden! Sehr schön! Du liebst das was Du machst, das sieht man immer wieder! Schallplatten sammeln ist das beste und schönste Hobby der Welt! Da teilen wir die gleiche Leidenschaft! Ich habe Deinen Kanal vor ca. einem 1 bis 2 Jahren entdeckt und bin begeistert! Fachwissen, Leidenschaft .... tolle Platten, aber leider keinen neuen Videos mehr! Das ist schade! Ich würde mich sehr freuen wenn es mal wieder was neues zu sehen und natürlich zu hören gibt! Well done - listen to Vinyl! Rock On!

[@dorkadezso5826]

Great tour, Armien. Awesome TT you got there; and now ev'rything to Duisburg: happy movement:) Das Ruhrgebiet!! man, a lot, a lot of vinyl-retailers to choose from, over there. Vinyl-heaven... Thanks for this footage, great.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hello Dorka, thanks for watching! I am still moving all the stuff but the record collection is already back in the shelves. I am glad that everything arrived safe. Carrying all those records was a real pain. You know the Ruhrgebiet? May I ask where you are from? It's true - there are so many record stores here. I can't wait to check them all out :) Armien

[@dorkadezso5826]

AudiophileLaws Vinyl records are heavy as water. That counted for the 120/140 grams period, and now even more. I remember appearance Led Zeppelin III in 1970. It had a blue kind of stamp on it: Atlantic DeLuxe. It costed NLG21,90, which was astronomical for us schoolboys, and when I finally had saved and worked the money together for it, I bought the item. It was with the maroon/ plum colored label, and it was thin. SO thin that the result could be compared to a rollercoaster/ fruitbowl configuration. NOTHING De Luxe in that respect. The addition DeLuxe may have been so for the sleeve, but certainly NOT for the vinyl. Was disappointing experience with Atlantic. Got rid of it, and, oh, it was the British issue, 'cause I remember the Great Britain on its label. Hoi!!

[@dorkadezso5826]

AudiophileLaws Oh, and here is some info you may find interesting. I owe three very old MoFi S.L. vinyls from their start (end 70's begin 80's), Little Feat "Waiting For Columbus", and Grateful Dead "American Beauty". Guess how much they weigh?!? 107 g., 114 g., and 119 g. Way before the 180/ 200 period, Armien. I bought them around 1980. Hoi!!

[@dorkadezso5826]

AudiophileLaws It must have been 1968 or 1969, young and rediculous. I went to my local vinyl-retailer and immediately went for The Doors selection, to see if anything new. And there was a new one: "Live From The Whisky-A-Go-Go". Listened to it in the store with those ancient two seperate "telephones" on each ear. "But this is in MONO" I exclaimed, and didn't buy it, since we just had a brand-new Grundig stereo-set at home. DIDN'T BUY IT!!??!! That record must be worth a fortune, today. As I wrote, young and rediculous.

[@sammaniatis7039]

Excellent video Armien. Look forward to a new room tour when you move to your new home.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Sam, I am glad you liked it! Thanks for watching :) I will be back with the new room soon. Armien

[@aryiankohandel325]

ARMIEN! What an amazing video. You are so knowledgable in music. Let's find a way to connect as soon as we can

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Aryian, thanks for watching! I am glad you found my channel. I am about to move to another house at the moment but we should definitely connect and talk again. I miss you guys a lot and just watched your world cup video. Since the Fifa has some massive problems at the moment the chances might be good that the world cup in Qatar won't happen. I heard that England is interested in being the host country. If this would really happen we should definitely visit our buddy Atbin. Never the less - it's time for another reunion! Talk to you soon :) Armien

[@aryiankohandel325]

AudiophileLaws We miss you guys too. shoot me an email [e-mail]

[@jameschant2740]

Thanks for the tour Armien. I also appreciate the fact that you've been very detailed in listing the components, wiring and accessory equipment. Great work !

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hello James, thanks for watching! I want to do a new music room tour since I moved to another city 3 months ago. Some things slightly changed. Greetings from Germany Armien

[@jameschant2740]

I'm sure it will be interesting as always Armien. I'll keeping watching for sure. Greetings from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

[@BeardyRebel]

Fabulous turntable you have there. Thanks for showing us around. And great to see you have a copy of Nick Drake's Pink Moon. Thanks again!

[@AudiophileLaws]

I bought all three Nick Drake albums a few weeks ago and can't get enough of them. I am spinning Bryter Layter in the back ground at the moment. Thanks for watching - have a good sunday :) Armien

[@pharmd718]

70mm platter....wow. Very impressed of your system.

[@aekastar]

Enjoyed the tour, Armien! really nice place, nice balcony, too. also loved seeing your turntable/setup. congrats on the new job! that's a lot of records to move! heh

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Amber, oh yes I am already counting the days but moving with all the records will be some "great fun". I tried various boxes to make sure to have the best possible protection. Thanks for watching! Have a good sunday :) Armien

[@nodbor1]

AudiophileLaws I moved 2000 LPs using 34 boxes that measured 16 inches across by 12 inches wide by 12 inches tall. People here in the USA know what I mean when I say that I bought the boxes at Home Depot. The boxes only cost about 3 for 1 US dollar three years ago. It was fun and I had to beat the on coming ran as it was in an uncover truck bed. Three trips later at one hour each they were safe and sound in my house and still dry. Someday I will put them back in the order that they need to be in per my filling preferences. Also, someday, someday, I will post videos of my records here at KZbin. This I promise.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Would love to see that video :) Thanks for the info!

[@truenorthstyle]

You must look like the Maxwell "blown away" guy when you listen to your system, awesome!

[@AudiophileLaws]

Haha yes that's true! I love that picture and had it as profile pic on facebook for a long time. Thanks for watching, Cindy! Have a good sunday :) Armien

[@johnm3152]

Maxell btw. Maxwell had a silver hammer. Nice one!

[@robertbalboni3797]

hello armien great tour of your system. that turntable is beautiful as are the speakers. I am sure it is very high end audio equipment. you have a lovely home also. good luck to you in your new job. rob

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hello Rob, I am glad you liked the video. Thank you so much for the kind and supportive words. I really appreciate it. I will be back soon. All the best! Armien

[@spinningreek2247]

Congratulations on the new job, Armien! Best of luck with the move. You will get the huge joy in setting up a new room with the huge headache of moving 1700 records. Good luck and cannot wait for the tour of the new room! All the best, Stavros

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Stavros, haha I am already scared about moving all those records. It will be a true pain :D Never the less I can't wait to be in the new rooms. Thanks for watching :) Armien

[@Omemo]

You are one of the honest guys on KZbin. Great videos and always origibal. really glad to find your channel. All the best from Israel. ;)

what means honest?

Nice to see an updated tour Armien and it was cool to get more details on your custom built Clearaudio Turntable. Good luck with the move to Dusseldorf and I hope the new job works out well for you.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching my friend! Have a good sunday :) Armien

[@vinylthoughts5201]

Love the minimalistic design and decor! Great collection of vinyl!

[@olaniyi570]

Das Tyler Durden Bild an der Wand ist super. Sehr wichtig was er in dieser Szene sagt. Viel gleuck mit dem neuen Job und greusse aus der U.S.A.

[@deanjordan305]

Got to love a room tour :-). I have got to do another soon. The joy of hifi shopping. A Amp upgrade is the obvious choice of the next step. Great vid .

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Dean, would love to see your updated room tour. Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a good sunday :) Armien

[@asglovere]

Nice system! I really like the dual arm ability, very cool. Good luck with the new job!

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching, Andy :) All the best!

[@billsmit9141]

Love to see a review of other 1970 rock you own . Good stutt!

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Bill, I will be back with some more reviews soon. The 1970s were the best time for classic rock music! Thanks for watching :) Armien

[@billsmit9141]

Yes, Jazz as well, especially the Fusion Movement. My favorite! Real Name Bob

[@thevintagehifiambassador8524]

the beard is a great improvement as your stands are since the playing of Black whole sun 1st video). It's amazing that you focus on the records and not on changing the hifi equipment.

[@kurtrh63]

Great room and system tour , much enjoyed and best of luck moving and with your new job !

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks you, Kurt!

[@VinylPotato]

Awesome tour Armien! I was always curious about your turntable. A truly work of art itself. Congrats on the new job!

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for the kind words, Will! Have a great week :) Armien

[@fjfelix81]

Moving my record collection was one of the most dreadful and exhausting experiences of my life. Hope all goes/went smoothly on your move. I feel for you man.

[@richardadriver]

Congratulations on the new job and good luck with the move. Be careful with those albums!

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Richard, oh yes that's true! The records have highest priority. Thanks for watching :) Armien

[@newdomtanner]

Looks like some pride is taken in your setup. So awesome buddy!!

[@paulelliott3220]

Excellent tour and definitely a good document of the room Great selection of material and superb equipment - wow Good luck with the move and especially the new job Cool update and look forward to the next room video Biggest issue for me the last two times I've moved, is getting my music/books/etc safely from one place to another

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hello Paul, thanks for the kind words! Moving with all this stuff will be a big "fun" indeed. I already tested some boxes to see which ones are best for the records. I hope everything will arrive safely. The records have highest priority. Have a good sunday :) Armien

[@raymondchan7489]

I like your c.d stand display. nice room.

[@AudiophileLaws]

thanks Raymond!

[@CoreysChannel]

Simply fantastic. Congratulations on the new job!

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Corey, thank you my friend!

[@olaniyi570]

Super Anlage. Der plattenspieler gefaellt mir besonders gut.

[@StopMoColorado]

Wait until you discover Fixed Coil Cartridges. The output of MM and responsive transients of MC Carts (without the upper-frequency resonance issues), but with lower moving mass that either, for starters. SoundSmith is calling! 😉

[@bananasplitbrain476]

I got the Clearaudio Emoton SE. They built the same turntable with different looks for Marantz. I can highly recommend this deck, way deeper, broader than Regas or Projects in this projects. Funny, I was born and raised in Bielefeld :)

[@NEEDLEGROOVEVINYL]

Thanks for sharing. Very nice. Congrats on the new job.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for tuning in, Kieran :)

[@garrapaterorulez5017]

awesome room tour bud. that clear audio turn table is killer. cheers JC/Miami

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for tuning in, JC :)

[@HiViNywschannel]

Yay!!! Great your Music Room Tour is out!!! I have been waiting for the past few days upon your tip-off ;-D Your Music Room looks super neat and cool... your girlfriend/wife/female friends who drop by must have loved it!!!! My wife watched this vid of yours together with me and she really like your Music Room Armien!!! And congratulations for your improved career path!!! I am really happy for you!!!!!! 1700++++ LPs?!?!?!!!! WOW!!!! Best regards, Ian :-D

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hello Ian, thanks for the nice comment! Haha that's so funny! Some female friends like it but some others really don't :D I am glad you and your wife liked it. Talk to you soon brother :) Armien

[@csilt]

Really cool set up. One thing you should really consider doing if sound is important to you is to treat the room some. You can put up some absorption behind the speakers and to the sides which are your first reflections. Bass traps in the corners of the room will also help improve your sound. Hope the move went well and thanks for sharing. Cheers from USA :)

[@Lobo243]

Love that room ...Beautiful turntable my friend ...Greetings from California

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching, Francisco! I am glad that you like it :) Armien

[@Lobo243]

My friend your vinyl collection is amazing and that turntable is beautiful. ..Did you attend to any audio video show in Germany like the one in Munich

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks :) Not yet but I wanted to go to the munich show for three times now but I never made it. There is another smaller show made by the german analogue audio association. I will visit this one in october.

[@Lobo243]

Pretty cool in october make a video about it

[@giangvu7902]

That's a beautiful music listening room. Enjoy!

Hey my friend, thanks for sharing your home with us. And congrats on your new job thats awesome. Talk soon brother

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for the nice comment! Have a good sunday!

[@CarstenPeterOlsen]

Thank you for the tour of your music room. You have an awesome setup. I looked at a Rotel amp too, but in the end decided for Marantz. It would be nice to have listen at your place. I wish you had shown more of your second hifi system in your living room :) Great news about your new job. Congratulation my friend. I hope there's some great record stores in your new town.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Carsten, thanks for the kind words! The second system is mainly for watching movies and some televison. I am using a 5.0 Setup. German speakers called Nubert and some easy Sony electronics. Since I am moving soon I decided to put my B&W in the box already and took the Nubert speakers for the vinyl setup. The differences are really interesting - I would always go with the B&W although they are even cheaper. Have a good week buddy! Armien

[@CarstenPeterOlsen]

+AudiophileLaws Holy crap!.. you have a CA Maestro V2 cartridge on that baby?!!.. wow.. that's wild :).. I just noticed now that I have a CA/Marantz TT on the way ;)

Congratz on the new job. Talking about jobs, it's going to be quite an effort to move all those records. I hope you get some help with that. Nice to see you have your favorite albums framed on the wall. ;)

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Martin, oh yes! Moving all the records will be some great "fun". I already tested some boxes to find out which ones are the best. Thanks for watching my friend :) Armien

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching, Vincent :)

[@deaneverest]

Hi Armien Great to see the rest of the room at last, I must say I have been salivating over your turntable for months now since watching your videos. So happy to see it in all its glory at last, and paired with those B&W speakers too I bet that sounds superb. Congratulations on the new job, I hope both the move and the new role go smoothly for you, and look forward to seeing some videos in the new room! Cheers Dean

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Dean, I can't wait to be in the new rooms. The move will be some big work but that's the way it is... Thanks for watching my friend :) Armien

Hallo Armien, wow, tolle Tour & super Equipment! Ich wünsche Dir alles Gute für den neuen Job und den Umzug (danach weiss man wieder, weshalb man LP's "Tonträger" nennt :-))) schönes Wochenende & LG.......Bruno

Hallo Bruno, vielen Dank für's reinschauen! Der Umzug wird in der Tat eine ganz schöne Herausforderung aber mit ein paar Helfern wird es schon klappen. Ich glaube danach überlege ich bei jeder LP zwei mal ob man sie wirklich kaufen muss :D Schöne Pfingsttage! Armien

Hello Armien, I forgot that I put this video in my watch later folder. I have been waiting to see your turntable the most. It is absolutely stunning. I would love to have someone build me a nice turntable like that someday down the road. It would be cherished for sure. Your whole system and place looks just great. Clear Audio is the leading audio store in Germany? Thank you very much for sharing it with us. Enjoy the rest of your weekend~! Rob/Boston

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Rob, thanks for the kind words my friend. Clear Audio is a german brand for turntables and all kind of hifi gear. They sell a lot all around the world. Have a good week my friend :) Armien

[@NiZZULiVE]

New subscriber. Awesome setup!

[@TobyBurt]

Hey buddy, just wondering why you have no room treatment at all? Some foam to catch early reflections on the back and side walls will make a bigger difference than any piece of gear you can add. Just with you walking around the room I can hear a lot of reflections. No hate though, I love what you have built up over the years. Make sure you update when you move :)

[@AudiophileLaws]

+Anthony Burt That's a good question! In real life I didn't have that many problems. It was more the cheap microphone of the Iphone causing the sound. In my new rooms I will think about some improvements. I already bought a special carpet and I will also think about some diffusors. Thanks for watching! Armien

[@TobyBurt]

+AudiophileLaws Ah nice man. Definitely look at some rear wall and first reflection absorption too. Cheers :)

I'm an mp3 guy, meaning 98% of my music are files in my PC. I have only 70-80 CDs and it troubles me sometimes to look for a CD that I want to listen to. if I had 1,700 LPs like you, it would literally kill me to find the one I want. you must have some special way of arranging them I supposse. by the way, love your speakers :)

[@AudiophileLaws]

Oh yes - the records are organized by genre, label, year and other things. I am just thinking: "today I am in the mood for some 80s male rock" Then I go to the shelf and take a look which records I have and then pick one. Thanks for watching :) Armien

nice stuff cool place

[@MrOnlyfacts]

Hi AudiophileLaws, I really love your videos! I have a simple question, I recently started collecting records and would like to upgrade my system (LP player). Im currently using an old Aristona pickup with a tube amp and was wondering, whats a good budget vintage/new LP player you could recommend?

[@AudiophileLaws]

MrOnlyfacts Great to hear that you started collecting records! Upgrading the hifi system will always bring a lot more fun while listening. It really depends on how much money you want to spend. I would recommend to get a new turntable since vintage ones often has damages or parts that need to be replaced. The cheapest entry level would be a U-Turn turntable. It can be found for 179$ in the US. Another good option would be a Pro Ject turntable. They sound good and can be upgraded in the future. If you want to spend more there are some other great models by Rega, Clearaudio or Marantz. Thanks for watching - let me know if you have other questions :) Armien

[@MrOnlyfacts]

AudiophileLaws Thanks for the reply! Never thought I would hear from you lol :P My current turntable plays fine but I just got my vacation allowance from my job and have some extra cash I can spend. Thanks for the recommendations, I'll be on the look out for those models if they're on sale this summer. Whats your opinion on receivers/amps? And would the type of genre I listen to be heavily influenced by the receiver and amp? I saw a few second hand Marantz and Onkyo's receivers/amps at a pawnshop close to my house and was wondering if I would be better off with a new one or if I would be fine with a second hand one. (I mostly listen to music with headphones) Thanks for your time! Greetings from The Netherlands

[@AudiophileLaws]

Geen Probleem! Vakantiegeld is een mooi ding! Ik wou dat ik een beetje meer kan uitgeven voor hifi maar ik koop te veel records :D I denk niet dat de genre of music voor de versterker belangrijk is. De Marantz modellen waren altijd goed maar Onkyo is niet mijn favoriet. (van mindere kwaliteit) You should take a look at maarktplaats.nl. There are various good and solid models for sale. I would recommend to get a new turntable, a used amp and since you said that you are listening with headphones mostly you are ready to go. If you only use headphones you could even think about getting an own headphone amp. Sorry for my bad dutch :D I only learned it three years in school but most of it is gone now.... Armien

[@MrOnlyfacts]

AudiophileLaws Thanks for the reply Armien! Haha jouw nederlands is ontzettend goed voor iemand die maar 3 jaar les heeft gehad. Ich habe drei jahren deutsch auf schule gehat (?) und meiner Deutsch ist sehr schlect haha. Funny that you know of marktplaats btw.Not many Germans I know have heard of marktplaats. I will definitely be on the look out for Marantz amps but your suggestion is also very good, I'll be also on the look out for a headphone amp :) Still a shame that so many records in Holland tend to overpriced compared to the german markets :( The minimal price for Steely dan records are at least 10 euros.

[@AudiophileLaws]

My grew up near the dutch border in Aken. My parents still live there. Limburg is a really expensive area for vinyl indeed. I once made some great scores at a huge flea market in Maastricht but most of the stores in Heerlen are very expensive. Goog luck with finding a nice amp! Take your time :) Armien

[@nodbor1]

that is so very nice all around for you. are you going to sell your records on the world market so we can buy them from you?

[@AudiophileLaws]

Haha if I would sell some it would be definitely a lot easier to move all this stuff from one place to another. I need to think about it :D Thanks for watching! Armien

[@Kulumuli]

Nice system. Allthough it seems to me that the turntable outmatches the rest of the system. I guess it's one thing at a time.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Kulumuli Some parts of the system are about to change but actually everything plays perfect together.

[@popdroidmusicblog467]

Nice video. Lovely Clearaudio Turntable, always been impressed by the platter. Also thinking of upgrading to a Maestro V2-cartridge at some point.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Oh yes, the Maestro V2 is a great cartridge. I tried various other ones before I bought it. It sounds so open and fresh! Thanks for watching :) Armien

[@ronmor351]

Hi where did you get your record and CD shelves please? Fantastic set up.

[@gpuppy1234]

Do you have any advice on transporting vinyl? I am worried about moisture affecting my records when I take them outside and put them in a moving truck.

[@AudiophileLaws]

oh yes moving with vinyl is a real pain in the ass. I decided to use normal cardboard transport boxes. all records arrived safe but I was really careful with them.

[@tanaym.3889]

Great setup! Are you going to make a video playing some records on it?

[@Not-Only-Reaper-Tutorials]

I like also the background music ... title?

[@AudiophileLaws]

it's called Handprints by John Deley thanks for watching :)

i watch alot of vinyl youtubers and none of them seem to have a subwoofer. Is it something you dont need if speakers are good enough? I just have 2 little polk bookshelf speakers and I thought they sounded very tinny so i went out and bought a sub and now i like it alot more. i'm new to all this btw

Move the power cables from the speakers cables that they do not touch each other

It should make difference in sound
