The Grand Tour - Listening Room Tour 2018

"Step right up...come on in."
Well, I finally got it done. Here is the tour of the listening room.
Enjoy!!

[@CoreysChannel]

Thank you for the tour, looks like a great place to listen and work. Love the bins and carefully placed framage on the walls.

[@RobertsOnMyTurntable]

Awesome room , amazing set up and love the juke boxes

[@CarstenPeterOlsen]

Wow, just Wow!!!.. You're living every mans dream with a huge room like that to have fun in... Good for you , man 👍 😁

[@BillyHurst]

Carsten, thanks for dropping by, my friend! Glad you enjoyed the tour.

[@jljohnnysjeeplife]

These are some of my favorite videos, I will always take the time to watch room tour videos. I love the way your room is laid out, looks fantastic. You can tell you put a lot of work into it. Thanks for the video

[@BillyHurst]

Cap, thanks for the kind words regarding the music room. Yeah, I took some great pride in it because I spend so much time down here and I let it get out of control and cluttered for a while. The collection as a whole is so much more enjoyable when everything is in it's place, as it should be.

[@BeatUpRecordsCDs]

Magnificence. Love the uniformity of the CD's on its shelving. Work of art. Great tour.

[@BillyHurst]

Thank you so much for dropping by and for your kind words. Billy-

[@GRockVC]

Nice tour. Great collection and great to have a jukebox.

[@JefferyRusnock]

Hey Billy, Room looks fantastic and loved seeing all the hidden gems 💎 throughout! Great to see so much vintage gear in turntables, receivers and of course my favorite the ever growing 8-tracks players and tapes. Very nice job on the entire job and definitely worth waiting to see, always nice to see a jukebox or in your case two in someone’s collection. Thanks for the tour buddy and allowing us in your home, looking forward to those updates especially the 8-tracks lol. Take care and talk soon.~ Jeff

[@BillyHurst]

Hey Jeff, I knew you would pick up on the "hidden gems". LOL Don't we all have those "easter eggs" planted all over our listening areas? :) I'm glad you dug the 8-tracks, there is sooo much more 8-track love coming your way (hopefully soon). Those jukeboxes are nice, but sometimes a pain in my ass LOL Take care buddy.

[@jason681174]

Hey man love the tour nice Juke's and collection. Makes me miss my Juke's LOL

[@MetalMan73100]

Nicest man cave I have ever seen! Even more impressive, it looks as if it´s just getting better and better.

[@JsGBV]

Congratulations. It looks a really good place to dig all day

[@dremunoz2600]

Damn Billy that's an impressive music room and collection 👏🎶👏

[@andyvinyl]

Thank you for this nice video. Very cool music room tour. And a great collection! The "City Boy - Anthology" - CD on the table looks fine! I love City Boy. I have only the LP "The Day The Earth Caught Fire". Cheers

[@BillyHurst]

Andy, thanks for tuning in. I'm not familiar with City Boy, but might have to give it a listen. Take care, Billy-

[@miabussell0229]

I don't know why I found the printer between the bookshelf speakers hysterical, but I did. Lovely setup man, I could hang in there for centuries.

[@ralex3697]

Very neat The vintage gear looks really clean, nice I have my cds in binders, great space saver

[@listen_to_records444]

Very cool Billy! Thanks for the tour.

[@BillyHurst]

You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@patrickmoore3538]

The Pioneer PL-510s is one of the most underrated turntables ever. I bought mine at a Goodwill in 1998, and it's been my main turntable since. It's a tank. Hang on to that great old turntable! Great video, by the way.

[@Channel33RPM]

The music room looks great Billy... love the 2 jukeboxes. And the Marantz amp looks AMAZING. Cheers. Frank

[@BillyHurst]

Frank, thanks for tuning in, my friend! Yeah, the jukeboxes are cool...when everything works right. When they don't, they are a major pain in the ass! LOL The Marantz is a thing of beauty, isn't she? Take care buddy! Billy-

[@djtrishm]

Wow! Thats a spectacular set up! Thumbs up! Trish

[@BillyHurst]

Thanks Trish! Glad you enjoyed the tour. Billy-

[@ChinaDitchRecords]

wow ! what a cool room tour. looks like your all set. If I had a room like that , I just might lock myself inside and never come out . Dustin

[@lindaleg3659]

Awesome room tour Billy. I loved everything. Please get that Thorens up and running again. Such a nice turntable.

[@BillyHurst]

Andre (glad to finally have a name), thanks for stopping by and I'm glad you dug the room tour. The Thorens is a thing of beauty. I need to get off my ass and get it back online again real soon.

[@mrjim12miller]

Quite a collection and set up.

[@dimebagdave77]

Billy ive been subbed and watching a long time.been meaning to say hi just as long! always really enjoy your vids and tastes.love the music room and all the space to grow included.but if that lovely CD rack ever comes down,someones getting flattened! even if they're in the next room! u rule Billy!

[@BillyHurst]

Dave, thanks for the sub and for tuning in. Glad you finally introduced yourself. That CD rack would be a disaster if she ever came crumbling down, but it's re-enforced with brackets at the top and tied to the wall so we are good LOL

[@metalmogul]

Nice of Ikea to name that bookshelf after you. Like I said before I have music room envy, my space is really limited but then again I don't have that big a collection at the moment, so it's not a problem, yet! lol. Love those digging bins in the HR/HM section. Awesome room tour Billy!

[@BillyHurst]

I'm still waiting on my royalty checks from IKEA. Glad you dug the room tour and especially the front facing record shelves. Those shelves are special to me. My Dad helped me make them a couple of years ago. I don't spend as much time with him as I should and he's not getting any younger or healthier. It was a great time we had for those few days spent out in the garage catching up and bonding again. Thanks for tuning in and have a good one! Billy-

[@BioCYTE1]

There's somethin' about Waylon on CD, there's SOMEthin' about Waylon on vinyl but there's just SOMETHIN' about Waylon on 8-track. My absolute favorite way to listen to the man, Lonesome, On'ry and Mean son. Fantastic setup, you've got it all where it counts and your passion for the game is unparalleled. Amazing room, well done Billy. - Lj

[@BillyHurst]

Brother LJ, you hit the nail on the freakin' head my man. There is absolutely nothing like Waylon on 8-track...NOTHING!! Thank you so much for dropping by, always having kind words to say, and for providing the inspiration for me to make these videos. Miss your mug.

[@missourihomesteader1611]

Nice room. I love all the vintage gear setup. I have a modern stereo with the vinyl, cassette, CD and blue tooth but have added external old sharp stereo speakers

[@BillyHurst]

Thanks for stopping by. The key is to enjoy what you have and don't let anyone or anything stop you from loving the music. Take care, Billy-

[@musicman257]

Love the room tour. I could ang in there all day. cant wait to see more.Just sucribed to your channel.

[@BillyHurst]

Thanks Richard!! Glad you tuned in and enjoyed the tour.

[@BadEnglishRecs]

Thanks for this tour. Really nice room. Now I go to sleep and dream how to do bed room also to my music room.

[@BillyHurst]

Ha!! I hope those are dreams because this was a nightmare while I was doing it, but it's more of a dream now that it's complete. Take care, Billy-

[@kingwithacapitalk614]

Your room and setup is amazing, all I have is a shelf full of records, 2 turntables and a mixer to dj, but your room looks like a store!

[@HighnoonsVinyl]

HOLY MUSIC ROOM BATMAN!! This looks fantastic! You really did a heck of a job in the setup on this. Looks absolutely killer. Great place to kick back, jam out, have a cold one and relax. Really love the idea for the CD shelf as well. Gonna have to do that as well for me. Tall ones like that are either overpriced or impossible to find. Great job Billy, it really screams you with all the personal touches as well.

[@BillyHurst]

Tim, thanks so much for stopping by and I'm glad you dig the setup. The CD shelf is something that I felt like I had to do for the exact reasons you mentioned. I am very happy with how it turned out. Now I just need one more. LOL

[@HighnoonsVinyl]

BillyHurst Right there with you. 2 should do me.... for now (insert evil music collector laugh).

[@davidryan6441]

Anyone who has a Disturbed cd next door to one by the Dixie Chicks...Deserves a Beer.

[@spinningreek2247]

Great room Billy Thrust. Those jukeboxes are gorgeous and that is a KILLER Vlad the Sniper art piece.

[@BillyHurst]

Hey Stav, good to see you bro. Glad you dug the room tour and loved the Vladi art. I have another cool one that the artist just sent me that I haven't had the time to get stretched on canvas just yet. You'd love it. I'll show it off when I get it back from the framer.

[@elvisfan6475]

Great setup. Looks like a radio station.

[@Paneeks1960]

Your love of music surrounds this room Billy. I really dig the stand-up storage cabs. They really add flavor to any music room. The jukeboxes are really nice too. Did you have the one on the left filled with country music? I personally feel that country is the only genre of music that sounds the best on a jukebox. You even have the 8-tracks represented. Just a beautiful room with loads of comfort. Thanks for sharing it all including the components~ Rob/Boston My room is still in the building stages. I will show it as soon as it is complete. Say a prayer for us along the coast tonight, tomorrow and early Saturday. We got a nasty blockbuster storm coming in. Thanks Brother Billy~

[@BillyHurst]

Rob, thank you so much for stopping by and for all of your kind words. The jukeboxes are cool, but can be a major pain in the ass sometimes. LOL yes, the one on the left is primarily filled with mostly country music. I completely agree with you....NOTHING sounds as good on an old jukebox as country music does (classic country in particular). The 8-track love/obsession is all due to Jeffery Rusnock. I don't know if I should thank him or cuss him!! LOL Take care, Billy-

[@stanthrasher4815]

Love it! You need some cerwin vega 380se speakers go with a hafler DH 500 amp very nice tt ... sweet listen room my friend!!

[@koprcord5338]

Love the mach 2s. Lot of people laugh at them. Still have mine, they were the first speaker I ever had and just refoamed them and would like to upgrade the crossovers next.

[@dinekevinke2268]

I'm loving it!! I also love the artwork you made! But how ever do you have the time to listen to all of that?

[@garrapaterorulez5017]

Killer shit bro! that Billy Ikea shelf does look like a holds more than 1k CDs.... crazy right! Rock on bud JC/Miami

[@AndysVinylDen]

Very cool room tour! Take care Billy.

[@BillyHurst]

Thanks Andy! Glad you dig the room maybe one day you can come check it out for yourself.

[@AndysVinylDen]

Sounds good! I'll bring a few empty crates to help get rid of some of those lp's cluttering up the place lol.

[@vicg5323]

Very cool

[@mrhoffame]

You are welcome lol!! Great room my friend!!

[@BillyHurst]

Dude, you have no idea what you've created with these custom box sets!! LOL If only the boxes were a little bit more readily available, I would have a dozen or more. :) Thanks for stopping by and hopefully you got my text with the invite for the upcoming listening party!

[@FREEDOM-xv4ff]

This is an awesome Mans Cave😁😁😁

[@paydro3310]

Badass!!

[@h2vinyl]

Really awesome space and setup Billy. That is a big room (basement) to hold as much as it does... love the gear. The Pioneer turntable is a workhorse and the Marantz is absolutely beautiful! Yeah, CDs get heavy. I have 2 IKEA 4 drawer dressers with about 200 CDs per drawer and when I open them, the weight of the CDs pop the drawers off the track (every time). Definitely annoying and I never thought I'd have that problem... I feel your "pain". :-) Those jukeboxes are awesome! I've wanted to get one; I just don't know if I want another BIG thing in the house. Haha! My arcade cabinet is enough for right now. Curious about the jukeboxes, are they rough on your 45s? If I do get one, I'd like to populate it with a lot of "rare-ish" stuff; but that might not be a good idea if they're gonna get trashed... Nice grand tour! It looks awesome and I love the attention to detail! Everything is epic!

[@BillyHurst]

Brad, thanks for stopping in and the comments about the music room. Yeah, it is a big space and I enjoy spending as much time there as I can. I hear what you're saying on the cd drawers being so heavy that they come off the hinges. I had some of those back in my 20's and I hated when that would happen! The jukeboxes are super cool and I am glad to have them, but they can be a major pain in the ass at times. LOL As far as the jukeboxes being rough on the 45's....well, I never really gave it much thought because I just loaded them down with more common classic country stuff, but I really don't think so. For the most part, if you keep everything fine tuned and have a technician stop by every year or two just to make sure general maintenance is being done (or you could do it yourself) I wouldn't see any reason to be too worried. I wouldn't put super rare or valuable 45's in there, but that's just me. Have a good weekend! Billy-

[@harmlessrebel868]

Not sure how I missed this video! Did you ever get that 8 track player working?

[@thomasmasciari1035]

Wow great stuff

[@BillyHurst]

Thanks for watching! Billy-

[@TheAgeOfAnalog]

Give that Masters of Reality - Sunshine on the Sufferbus CD a spin. Great album.

[@brandonscott4904]

Awesome music room tour! What do you use to make your record dividers?

[@annemurrayfan80]

awesome video billy. wow i see about 3 cds of intrested.ill message u privately. mike from canada u did a fantastic video my friend .

[@fotzegamingandmedia1840]

At 10:49 you have a nice display rack like the ones in a record store. I wanted to know where you got those, and if I'd be able to either buy one or build one. If building, do you have the plans for the messurements so that I could build one myself? PLease get back to me as soon as possible. Thanks

[@kusgilb]

If you were to randomly stagger how far each album and CD are sitting on their shelf, it would act as a diffusor for audio reflections. Cool room BTW.

[@christopherkibler511]

Billy, is that a reference to George Jones "The Grand Tour"? Your space looks great. Maybe I will do a room tour, but I still need to figure out what to do with cassettes and 45s. I mentioned before I dumped all of my 8-tracks when I moved, which saved me a lot of space but many regrets when I see what you are doing with them. I even had some record store style shelves, like in your rock area, for flipping through albums instead of pulling from the shelf, but I tossed those, too. If I had been more aware of the VC I might have done things differently. At least I kept the vinyl! Thanks, Chris

[@BillyHurst]

Chris, that is absolutely a reference to the George Jones song. LOL "Step right up....come on in." :) Thanks for the kind words on the room. It was a lot of hard work but it looks great and well worth it in the end. man, I wish you hadn't told me about dumping all your 8-tracks. :( Those 2 front facing record shelves are special to me. My Dad helped me make them a couple of years ago. I don't spend as much time with him as I should and he's not getting any younger or healthier. It was a great time we had for those few days spent out in the garage catching up and bonding again. Thank you for tuning in. Take care, Billy-

[@blaster1093]

Massive! How many records would you have in total ? Just curious to know, did you buy all the music yourself or did you inherit some of it ?

[@sarmachinta918]

Super

[@carlfuggiasco7495]

Just subscribed mainly for your eclectic taste and you're a Blues Fan

[@mikezags0816]

Wow. Great setup billy!! Was wondering what type of divides you use? Thanks.

[@BillyHurst]

Jam on Vinyl what dividers are you speaking of?

[@andyvinyl]

Hi Billy. It would be nice if you would do a new music room tour. Everyone would be happy about it. Cheers 🤘

[@BillyHurst]

Andy, thanks for tuning in. Unfortunately my music room at home is is shambles as I am currently getting ready to start a remodel. As soon as it is ready, I will definitely do another room tour.

[@andyvinyl]

@@BillyHurst Billy, I will wait for it.

[@seanjones618]

where did you get the 4x4 cubes that you have your vinyl in and are they sturdy and what did you pay for them . awesome room like the cd shelf i will have to make two of them

[@BillyHurst]

sean jones those are actually the IKEA KALLAX units. I decided to go with all 2x2’s (4 squares per unit) for ease of moving and stability. These are the most stable stacking solution for vinyl unless you build something yourself. The cost on them is about $40 depending on where you’re located.

[@alexspinsvinyl5391]

If those Alter Bridge CDs and that 10cc CDs are still available, I'd be interested in those!

[@BillyHurst]

Alex, yes they are still available. I sent you a reply to your PM.

[@alexspinsvinyl5391]

Perfect. I will check it out

[@RA-oz4xk]

Wow👍

[@Paneeks1960]

F~a~n~t~a~s~t~i~c~ Rob/Boston

[@dodgert1234]

To straighten the cd shelves, starting from the bottom, remove a couple of cds in the middle of each shelf and slip in a bock of wood to prop up each shelf. No need to remove any other cds.Paint the new blocks of wood before putting them in position. I had the same problem and used my description above. It works well. Like the Channel. DODGERT

[@BillyHurst]

Roger Thompson what a fantastic idea! Thank you!

[@Trevscuriosites]

nice video mate,your CD shelf to cure the sag just cut spacers the same size of the shelf space and slide it in the centre of each shelf that will fix it even the thicker timber will sag after time so put one between each shelf

[@BillyHurst]

Trevor Lees thanks for watching and for the tip on fixing that sag on the cd shelves.

[@thevinylcountdown9865]

It's amazing how awesome things look when they get more organized .I think I see a secret underground lair under construction 😆😆😆😆🤤🤤🤤😆😆

[@BillyHurst]

You can definitely say that again. Organization is the key to being able to enjoy a collection of any size. Just being able to find what you want to play or show in a video without digging through hundreds (or thousands) of records is great!

[@dougg1075]

Verso if it’s Ortifon

[@jazzyman9959]

your space is so crowded with Cds, LPs. don't you ? illegal download of Flac into 4T outer HDD?

[@BillyHurst]

jazzy man I’m a believer in artist rights. I don’t expect thieves to ever understand though. If you ever have to rely on royalties to support your family, you might have a different outlook on illegal downloading.

[@cootaloot]

Great room, but if you love that Marantz 2275 let it breathe. That's a big boy and it's suffocating.

[@BillyHurst]

I hear what you're saying and even checked after you posted your comment and the looks are deceiving. The tape deck sitting on top of it is only half the depth of the Marantz and all of the cooling vents are fully accessible and open air can flow freely through the machine, but I do appreciate your concern and for bringing it to my attention. Thanks for stopping by. Billy-

[@annemurrayfan80]

hope u got my pm message bro. i can pm u the address of mine. mike had to watch again

[@scotslater]

Someone help me out... VC? I hear a lot of KZbinrs start their videos with "what's up VC?" Meaning? #noobquestions

[@BillyHurst]

It’s short for Vinyl Community. Just a bunch of us who typically talk about vinyl records and albums, but we occasionally show cd’s, cassettes, 8-tracks...whatever.
