Cool room, congrats

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you!

[@tennvol2464]

I am jealous of how much room you have. Looks amazing......except for that Michigan stool.

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thanks! I was surprised at how much room is available once all the kids move out. As for the stool, at least it's not UK. Although, unlike the Wolverines, they're not much of a threat to TN 😉

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Dude thats a nice listening space, love the blue walls, the clock ties it all together beautifully

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you! I was a little worried about the blue as I was painting, but it really worked out well. I appreciate you stopping by! Cheers!

[@carjo512]

cool room

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you!

[@JumbleTasteSpinning]

Absolutely dream place for music and friends! So cool! I wish i'll have place like this in the future... I have about 500 records and 150 cd's and a nice modest stereo setup. Enjoy your time buddy! ❤

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you so much! It took years for me to finally get this spot, and I love it! You'll get there! Thank you so much for watching 😄

[@Ross1966]

Really nice room and decor! Great set up!

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you!!!!

[@TonyHarrison-dk1ey]

What a great room. I could definitely hang out there and enjoy the music!

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you! It's a spot that really helps me unwind and forget about the bs of the day. Thanks for watching!

[@Arctic_AK]

Thank you for your Service! I am an AF Veteran as well, who did you order the vinyl shelves from, please?

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

I appreciate that! Thank you for your service as well! I'm guessing from your user name you have ties to Alaska? I was stationed at Elmendorf from '92 to '95 - absolutely loved it. Anyway, the shelves I use for my records are Kallax 4x4 from Ikea. Thanks for watching!

[@mrhoffame]

First things first....thanks for your service my friend! 2. Great tour. These are always my favorite VC videos!!! \m/

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you so much! I very much appreciate that. Room tours are my favorite videos as well! Thanks for watching!

[@mad4vinyl802]

What a fantastic room! I love the colors you've chosen. Very nice handbills. Awesome CD storage unit. That's a very nice vintage system, I bet it sounds great. I love your posters. A wonder space to hang out in. Take care, Dave.

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you! The sound is great - for me. Not sure an audiophile would agree, but at my age I doubt I'd hear the difference anyway lol. Thanks so much for stopping by and the kind words. Cheers!

[@3dimensionsofmusic3D]

Beautiful job on your listening room. The floor looks great too. I recently put a floor in like that and my back hurt for days! The cabinet of drawers you repurposed for the Cds was genius. From a fellow USAF Veteran - well done. Thank you for your service and sacrifice - never forget. Greg

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Hey Greg! Thanks for stopping by and the great feedback! Yeah, I felt like I should've been in traction after putting that floor in haha. USAF 90-98!! Thank you for your service as well brother!

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

That is a fantastic r3cord room. So much room, love the listening area. Top notch room Dave

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thanks Steve! It's such a great feeling to finally have a music "home"! I appreciate you stopping by!

[@Anacridhaze]

Hell yeah man. Love your space.

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you!

[@EmbryonicRobot]

Cool. Thanks for the video! Cool piece from the Grande Ballroom.

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you!

[@VintageLuxmanStereoCollector]

Love the color of your room! Great tour!

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you!

[@Bantha_Rider]

great room setup, love the cd wall and drawers too Love ST signs mate ..topnotch.

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you! Yeah, that CD drawer was an inspired find by my wife. Those ST signatures are a physical artifact of the exact moment that I discovered the band - and became a fan. Thanks for stopping by!

[@andyvinyl]

Hi. Thank you for this nice music room tour video. I love it. It looks very nice and cozy. Awesome collection. I subbed your channel. Take care. Cheers 🤘🏻

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Hi Andy!!! Thank you for watching! Yes, it is a very cozy room - at least I think so. Cheers!

[@highrantdistrict]

The room is awesome! The speakers look fantastic and I've had an LP120 and loved it. Dig that you've got a Spin Clean - it's the only 'cleaning machine' I've ever had. Gets the job done. Great posters, and I dig the wall color. Killer space! Great CD shelves, I can't find anything like those. Cheers, Tom

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thanks Tom! I've had that LP120 for 8 years now, and besides upgrading the stylus it's been rockin' steady. I found the speakers in a barn a few years back and after a little dusting off they've been just great. I'm with ya on the Spin Clean - worth every penny! The CD shelves I got at home depot - www.homedepot.com/p/Prepac-Black-Media-Storage-BMA-0960/203055213 . They're pretty solid and stable, I'm happy with 'em. Thanks for stopping by!

[@SoIMarriedARecordCollector]

Hey ! You have the same Vinyl Junkie sign we have! Very nice room, Hideelee loves the shadowbox! Holy crap, a piece of the Grande Ballroom, right in your house. That might have magical powers you haven't unleashed yet. Be careful, could be like the tiki necklace on "the Brady Bunch" Ghostly apparitions of the MC5 appearing in your basement in the middle of the night. We did a tour of our music room early in our time here on KZbin also.

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you thank you! Yeah, I have seen that vinyl junkie sign in quite a few other folks' videos haha. I fell in love with that shadowbox when I first saw it - no leaving the store and coming back a week later, I snagged it right away. So, I've been thinking about MC5 haunting the basement - yeah, I'm all in for that lol! I totally appreciate you guys stopping by (all the way from TC!) and commenting. I've subbed ya and am looking forward to diving into your vids. Cheers!

[@robertmorgan9205]

I really like this room.

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you!

[@matereo]

Where did you get the record shelves from? They look like Ikea Kallax but they are 5x4 secional.. never seen that before. seems great

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

They are Kallax 4x4. Probably my shaky recording that makes them look bigger haha. Thanks for watching!!

[@tomasvalentin6896]

Hey, thanks for sharing, nice room and you have a very awesome wife,

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you! Yeah, she's a keeper haha. I am very lucky that she's as supportive of my "habit" as she is. Cheers!

[@John_F.]

We're from the east side of Detroit. Good stuff you have ! Question: Where is your CD player?

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

West side myself, originally. My CD player is on the floor between the record shelves and the CD cabinet thing. It's a Philips MCM530 micro system. Thanks for watching!!

[@Blade4127]

Awesome room! How many records are in your collection?

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you! I have about 2000 - roughly 1700 LPs and 300 7". I appreciate you watching!

[@BadEnglishRecs]

Well that place looks really cosy. mr. Finglish (Bäd English Recs)

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Thank you! Yes, the room gives me a great sense of calm.

[@MegaPalesz]

Which cartridge do you have?Ortofon 2m red?

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

Yes, that's the one I have. I've heard that the blue is much better, but for me this works perfectly.

[@shaynebraid]

@@DavesBasementGroovesI have both the Blue and Red and prefer the Red. Nice room, enjoyed the tour…

[@MegaPalesz]

@@DavesBasementGrooves I had blue, blue is better!But I already use AT 740 and AT 530 E

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

@@shaynebraid Thank you!

[@shaynebraid]

@@MegaPalesz you’re welcome I have a modest system. Micro Seiki Solid 5 Turntable (from 1974) and a Marantz 2220B Receiver (From 1974) with Paradigm Speakers. Hope that helps, I thought the Blue would be better because of the hype, it wasn’t…

[@orangerooster73]

No not alphabetical order!? Need to go autobiographical order my friend!

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

HA! That's a new one. I would definitely never find anything. Thanks for watching!

[@orangerooster73]

that's how Rob (John Cusak) was organizing his record collection in the movie High Fidelity

[@DavesBasementGrooves]

@@orangerooster73 Well, now I feel like an ass. I guess I know what happened to the brain cell that was storing that memory!

[@TascamTascam]

Nice collection of music but really low end system.
