Hi Steve. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful systems. From the sublime to the supernatural. All are so impressive. I thought that I had an obsession - turns out I'm just normal 😂. Greg

[@Drackleyrva]

I LOVE looking at these systems---so much variety. But I find myself drawn to the simple systems. Simplicity rules!!!!!

[@bikdav]

@D Rackley: Same here. The less 'boxes' I have to consider, the better.

[@heinzkitzvelvet]

Same. Part of me wants to build a cool system like these, the part that knows how broke I am says I should just stick with the setup I have. 14 powered Wi-Fi speakers scattered about the house, 2-250GB thumb drives, full of music, plugged into my router, and an app to run it all. I've never enjoyed a sound system more in my life.

[@danmarjenka6361]

@@heinzkitzvelvet For many of us, it's about the music more than the search for perfect sound.

[@heinzkitzvelvet]

@@danmarjenka6361 Agreed. However the setups featured in this video all seem to be more gadget oriented, and brand focused than pure music loving. But, what do I know about it? Nothing at all.

[@bikdav]

@@heinzkitzvelvet That's it. It more about the gadgets than the music.

[@martinbishop2966]

Hi Steve, thanks for showing my system, much appreciated and continue doing what you do it's brilliant. Martin Bishop, UK🙂 P

[@rickmathis8590]

So much fun, Steve! Shows that systems can be as individualistic as their owners. As always, an absolute pleasure to watch!

[@osliverpool]

What often surprises me about some of the audiophiliac viewer systems is the number of people with very nice, very expensive, systems... playing in rooms with bare walls and hard bare floors, and speakers shoved hard back in corners...

[@patrickmcguigan5939]

I love watching the viewers system videos and seeing all the amazing systems. Everything from the "modest" and "budget" systems all the way through to the incredible custom built systems....all put together with a single shared goal...to just enjoy listening to music. I spent a number of years in my 20s selling hifi and I loved putting together a system for a customer that gave them the most smiles per (£)pound spent. It didn't matter if you had £500 or £50,000 to spend, I always made sure you loved the system you bought!

[@shaunhill4377]

Humbled to be included with these great systems. Nice job, Steve.

[@brianlewis5042]

Between the viewer systems and your interviews, I don’t know which I prefer. Great work as always Steve.

[@UnderThePresha]

Love these videos Steve! Very cool to see my modest little set-up featured on here next to these absolutely incredible systems! Keep doing what you’re doing! -Murph

[@davidbailey6350]

I love seeing what others have for their systems….!!! Great Video Steve….

[@CHICO976]

I sent you pics of my system some time ago..I am in Nova Scotia Canada and am 84...I have had stereo since the late 60's but have since started my newer system in the past 6 years..and have the following and love it Taya LP-100 Turntable with Shure V15II cart Fluance RT85W with Ortofon 2m blue cart Akai GXC 710D Cassette deck ADC Sound Shaper 10 B&W DM6 Speakers Fluance Signature Series bookshelf speakers Kenwood Integrated amp ka-5500 Pioneer SX-780 Receiver Akai AA-1150 Receiver Sears Professional series amp and tuner I also have two tape decks , a sony TC-558 and an Akai 1730 DSS.r2r I have sold a few pieces too , a Sony LP 100 tt and a Marantz 2230 receiver that I found in a dumpster

[@RdandTrk1]

I must admit, after seeing some of these beautiful and super interesting systems, I started to get a little self-conscious about my own. Lo and behold, there mine was towards the end! Thanks for showing it! That makes my day!

[@ElLeoPlaysMusic]

Shoutout to my boy John, for sending pics of his adorable pooch and for convincing his wife to have that massive set up in the house.

[@kloss213]

Thank you. That's just my office system I have larger horns in my audio room.

[@LetThereBeSound1]

Thanks for the addition in your video Steve! So lovely to see everyone's systems. Mine is the one featured @ min 8:25 - but I must admit - my system looks slightly different today as I have an even better main reel-to-reel machine and since have added two more VPI turntables to go along with the magnificent VPI Avenger Reference. I have now added a VPI HW-40 Anniversary Direct Drive w/ Koetsu Black Goldline & a VPI Scout 21 currently rocking a brand new (as of yesterday) Audio-Technica AT33EV moving coil. Also I no longer have any of the Cary Audio gear. Prima Luna amplification & Mytek Liberty II DAC + Mac mini do the digital playback honors these days. Incidentally, I rotate between a Kiseki Purple Heart N.S., a second Koetsu Black Goldline, and a Phasemation PP-200 moving coil cartridges. That's the beauty of VPI's uni-pivot tonearm designs. Swapping different carts/arms combinations is a snap! Once again thanks for the addition. I am must humbled. Oswaldo Martinez LTBS (Weston, FL)

[@dennismiller5725]

Best Pictures of viewer systems yet, hands down!

[@jikenj]

You made my day yet again for the second time first featuring my reel to reel on your very first viewer system slideshow and now my turntable and Schiit stack thanks again Steve!! 25:15 to 25:40

[@markmaloof2984]

This is so much fun! The wide variety of systems, the cool unique interesting ones and the more common. Love it

[@PanAmStyle]

What a *wonderful* array of systems. I especially love the mid-century modern style of furniture in many of the systems. I think their simplicity and beauty perfectly accent the gear, especially a lot of the vintage gear. Well done everyone!

[@BellTunnel]

That Canadian DIY is epic. Completely next level.

[@rtacconi]

This is one of the nicest videos on audio I have even seen so far on youtube. I love to see what people are using in their homes. Thank you.

[@AllboroLCD]

Really gotta hand it to some of the DIY stuff! Just WOW! Ive considered going DIY with EBAY/Amazon boards/chassis, but this ish is next level!

[@karlhartwig3981]

What a fabulous parade of hi-fi! Thanks Steve for the time you take in presenting it. If there's a next time I'll submit my photos to see if they make the cut, I did buy a new integrated amp and phono stage, maybe that'll do it!

[@garychauvin89]

We are a bunch of nerds !! Love it ! Enjoy your music first !!! Thanks Steve!

[@thirdkey9]

Cheers to all whose systems were chosen to be shown here. An amazing, varied and inspiring collection indeed and I hope that you continue this signature broadcast; connecting us musicheads across the globe and which is surely one of the very best things about the audiophiliac show. Aces Steve.

[@dannyfannyfoodle]

Thanks for putting this together, Steve!! I could look at viewer systems ALL DAY!! I know it takes a tremendous amount of work for you to put these together, but wow - it’s so worth it!! You’re on to something very special with these features and I just want you to know that your efforts are appreciated. Thanks again!

[@timcoughlin4107]

So cool seeing these. Got my first system in 1974 so see the old gear is great.

[@rxt744]

Great episode!.. I love to see the variety of different and personalised HiFi stereo systems from all over... including mine [11:29 - 11:59 in the video]! Thanks for the mention of my humble "tidy" system! You made my day... Cheers! ;-)

[@ricardocarvalhocorrea9199]

One of the best shows ever, Steve. A truly great hifi/hiend audio parade!

[@quentcooper8749]

Love seeing the systems and plan on sending pictures of mine as soon as it's back up and running

[@zocsda1328]

Thanks Steve for choosing the pic of one of my many beloved and carefully collected speakers - the custom designed Sony APM 77W Deluxe Edition, the only pair existing in the world - and showing it at the end (at 26.30)! I think it would be interesting for your wievers to see some of my other systems as well (pics were sent on 10 of them!) in a near future little longer wiever's daily show, maybe one day...they are all special and sound and look wonderful. Wish you all ... the best! ... a bluesman...

[@octothorpe12]

Brilliant! It's always great to see how other folks are enjoying the hobby.

[@donaldyurko1284]

I was honored and humbled to have my system in an earlier video. LOVE these views of others set ups! Thank you sir for taking the time to create them!

[@BellTunnel]

Looking good with the fresh background and cut. 👍🏻

[@kevinfestner6126]

I like it that you show vintage, as well. I do have fond memories of Pacific Stereo in the 70s and Cal Stereo. Ahh those stacked boxes. I still have my collection of Lafayette catalogs from the 70s. I even have Radio Shack catalogs with Arthur Fiedler endorsing Realistic. I was always a fan of ESS, RSL, Marantz, I still have my 2270 and my Pioneer CT-F 1250. I bought a brand new Dual CS-708q, new in the box off ebay a couple of years back for 300 bucks. I have been an audio nut for 50 years, now. I even have my Superscope TD-28 8 track player. When I was a teenager in the bad old days, I almost bought a Thorens. Guess what, I still have that mustard yellow brochure. When I use my system the feelings of those long ago days come back. I'm a teenage again with a cool system.

[@necromanzeecogent1431]

Nice to see a few bookcases with actual books in them. I've noticed the vast majority of viewer systems have no books anywhere in sight. I guess most audiophiles aren't big readers.

[@howard5992]

books get their own room !

[@kloss213]

lol lol like how do you know lol lol

[@flintmonz]

Excellent display of viewers pride and joys. Thank you for posting mine, too !

[@josevarela6352]

Thank your for sharing so many different set ups, Steve. Greetings from Madrid!

[@h2themfc]

Thanks Steve for creating a platform to share such a great variety of systems!

[@johnmarkzimm]

I was amazed and happy to see so many small rooms. It gives me hope in my 10x10.

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Wowza! Amazing collection of really nice systems. Some really serious stuff.

[@danrussell9357]

I liked the video; please keep doing these. I especially appreciated the personal style of the pieces, rather than just cliche systems.

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Agreed. I imagine the amount of passion that has gone into assembling these systems. Parsing out the best pieces and making them all work together. We just viewed the results of 1,000's of hours of effort to create this collection of unique systems. Anyone with $ can just buy the audio mag system due jour. These are bespoke.

[@jamesnelson8549]

So much fun seeing everyone’s systems all fun & all great! Taste is the name of the game here!

[@aldoantoniovicentesilva6996]

GOOD THIS TYPE OF VIDEO! EACH SYSTEM COOLEST THAN ANOTHER! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE OWNERS! 👍👍👍💿💿💿🎧🎧🎧🎵🎵🎵

[@torquey7386]

Thanks Steve - these episodes are so much fun!

[@penangtv6108]

Unexpected pleasure to see a Nakamichi Soundspace 8 system here, I have the diamond shaped 9 with modded back firing tweeters & midrange, Thanks Steve 😊

[@philippebertrand3820]

What a great idea Steve. So cool to share all those systems. I feel less alone now…

[@ML-rm3vk]

Steve wonderful video fun and so much old new combined .this was like a great birthday of beautiful images terrific gear.such fun thank you so much.

[@markcolby1910]

Enjoy your work- Steve ..

[@badgermike1231]

Man, I love the DIY stuff. The creativity is really impressive.

[@codygrayland]

Hey Steve. Thanks for including my stereo in your latest vid. :^) Cody in Oregon.

[@linnemeyerhere]

These video's are fascinating. Almost like an audiophile view to ones soul via their system.

[@jeffkalina7727]

Thanks for all the hard work putting this together. I really enjoy seeing how people make a system. Plus the old vintage stuff is great to see again. Lost track of whether you did a "Woman's Only" yet or not.

[@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac]

No, but I have requested women to contribute before and received just a few submissions. According to Google analytics 98% of my viewers are men.

[@rockman22]

System #1 guy and I are on the same page, Tekton, SVS, Topping, Parasound...

[@seand67]

Beautiful systems.....so inspiring to create one

[@samueltekle5642]

Love your channel Steve. Keep up the good work 👍🏾. By the way, diggin your shirt 😎

[@sydviscous7006]

I love how you enunciate "Schiit"!

[@andypomeroy7447]

Steve, as others have said, I love love viewing other's systems. But please, read the descriptions for all the systems you show. YES! Please bore us with the details!!! That's why I'm watching. Please don't short sell any viewer who has taken the time to document their system. WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT!

[@FOH3663]

Thanks Stevemo ... must be a lot of work, and it's appreciated. Viewer's Systems, always a pleasure.

[@steveneely6514]

Love your show, you have been instrumental in how I access my Hifi system. Your credentials speak quite highly of your reviews, thank you.

[@mikejames-drummerreginacan1386]

LOVE SEEING THESE SYSTEM.

[@robertreynolds2212]

Glad to see my system got showcased! Awesome awesome.

[@gael5739]

Looking sharp Steve!

[@joachimroselio7334]

Wow! Those are some passionate followers.

[@kennixox262]

It is always fun to see viewers own home audio systems.

[@angusbeef880]

I always keep missing these! trying to enter my pics next time

[@miguelcontreras3953]

Awesome! Keep it going Steve.

[@treymonroe9030]

I hear Art Dudley smiling somewhere.

[@goldenears100]

Hi Steve, Really enjoyed this video! Seeing other systems really was fun! Something I noticed though was most of the listening areas didn't look very ideal for music listening! I would also wonder about the electrical wiring etc. Some very nice looking systems just the same! I would include a picture of my system here but I'm not sure I can!

[@mattfilth26]

very nice video Steve, greetings from Chile.!!!!

[@ronaldweed6103]

Beautifully ✔️ done WoW!!

[@davidprather9079]

Wow! Thanks for showing my rig! It’s changed since then. I replaced the Sonys with Caintuck Bestys and stuck a Cambridge AX35 CD player in there. Also I back ordered the Decware Super Zen. I’m still using the little Aiyima 07 amp in the meantime, but the Betsys sound great with it. Any recommendations for a temporary integrated amp under $1K? I love getting into this hobby. All I want to do every day is get back to the listening room and OD on great audio! Not touring or gigging with the band has allowed me this freedom and kept me busy and happy. At 75 years young I am blessed.

[@cosmiccharlie8294]

Nice to see I am not the only one with space constraints.

[@jimhatch1726]

Thanks for the Beautiful systems..

[@proper90s43]

Great looking systems all. Would love to hear what they sound like. I missed the bus on this one. I've been building my system over the last 6 months, mostly second hand. Would have loved to share it as it's now finally excellent, but still looking to buy an Audiolab pre-amp in next few days. Like hen's teeth. Cheers Steve.

[@tedrobos2100]

Steve I forgot to also tell you I'm 71 years old and I've been a lot of fun I've been doing this since I was 5 years old but like I said I love your show

[@intendentsuper]

Happy to see my KEF 105.2s in the end credits, and in the company of so many great systems!

[@FOH3663]

Nicely set up too... well off adjacent boundaries. Always liked those, never owned them.

[@intendentsuper]

@@FOH3663 Thanks! Took a minute to get the placement dialed in. This is a big lofted single-family space so on upper frequencies, there's still some slap (the room opens up to the right of the photo), but for 9/10 sessions, it's great for me.

[@karafarinperesentati]

thanks for sharing all these Cool system and mine :)

[@elcasho]

Wow some of those look so good!

[@gilesdavis6345]

Nice one Steve, thanks.

[@AudiophileTubes]

Just discovered BED BUGS living within my McIntosh amplifier!!! This is going to be HELL for me now!!!

[@Nick-sk1qp]

Hi Steve, this video is better than going to an audio exhibition any day of the week. You are showing us real life audio gear that is owned by the average music lover. Well done.

[@robertwang7825]

Those Blades look so cool and not cheap at all.

[@labalo5]

Great ep and I like the new do Steve!

[@zerocapacitance1]

Excellent

[@danmarjenka6361]

I'm surprised more people do not paint the wall behind their equipment black, to make the cords disappear.

[@kindgott]

Those speakers you didn't know from Germany are ME Geithain. They are active monitors, as good as Genelec. They have been used (and are still used) by the "German BBC" (national German TV broadcasting) and they are coaxial and cardioid. Very expensive but extremely good.

[@nicktan4530]

26 years old and can already afford $13000 audio wow. While rest of us struggling to make one end meet.

[@jmad627]

I don’t know if I’m doing it right but I have two very minimalist systems but they sound great and I’m very happy with what I got.

[@user-ex9zm7bg3x]

if you're happy with your system you've got a lot to learn about being an audiophile (I kid, I kid)

[@gregorypatton360]

Im really digging your podcast Steve. Roy from klipsch is hilarious!

Steve’s soul patch is getting pretty intense.

Love the idea of a 24K tt counterweight. When SHTF, grab the counterweight!

[@meshplates]

Thomas' Gaithain speakers are very cool.

[@kristoferjuztin2406]

Some amazing systems, but it really astounds me how oversized some of these are for the room size they are in.
