"Mom, this card doesn't work." "Yeah, neither does my son." Classic!

[@nostro1001]

Priceless!!!

[@ralex3697]

Great people

[@andrewcrain5461]

Wow Steve I'm loving these videos like the Nelson pass love hearing other people's stories FANTASTIC idea

[@chrischarles6747]

Congrats on your 40th! I had the pleasure of meeting Harry late 1990's at Performance Audio in Merrick, New York. I purchased a VPI with acrylic platter and Eminent Technology air bearing arm (built by Mike at American Audiophile in Lynbrook, NY). I felt so very proud that I had the best piece of music reproduction device I could acquire. While at Performance Audio, Mr. Weisfeld pulls up in a Chevy station wagon and I thought how uncool! However after chatting with him I was secure in his practical approach to he tables. I am still use the table. Thank you Harry! VPI forever! from Chris.

Steve you out do yourself every time. Clearly to me and I’m sure many others you are the King of all audio style videos. Just love every minute of them. Thanks 😎

[@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac]

Peter Rabbit Thanks for watching!

[@shkermanshahi]

Thanks Steve. Reviewing all your turntable videos. This is a great video.

[@johnnytoobad7785]

Glad to hear some positive remarks about the Shure Cartridges with the "Dynamic Stablizer" brush. It makes a difference.

[@nostro1001]

As much as I've enjoyed these recent interview 'series' with Andrew & Nelson, I'd say this has been my fav. Maybe it's the fact it's to do with one of my audio passions, but I like to think it's the relaxed nature, the stories, no 'big noting', just such an incredible family run business that has lasted through the bad times. Just makes me wanna support these guys. If only I lived in the US! I want to thank the boys for making this happen....if there's one thing I could suggest; it's that Harry needs to improve upon his beer selection. 😂

In just a few weeks time I have gone from being complacent and financially stable to now lusting after Pass Labs, VPI, and high end Andrew Jones designed speakers. I will be moving back to Brokeassville very soon.

[@opk157]

Makes me want to buy a table again. Keep it up!

[@jked7463]

I've got a scout ii with the extra heavy platter. It's got ortofon 2m black. My friend with a 35k turntable setup was impressed with its sound, especially the detail. While i've never checked the resonance of the arm/cartridge combo, they seem to like each other well enough

[@damianzaninovich4900]

This was an awesome talk!

[@progressiveguy9959]

I love these stories.

[@ridirefain6606]

Great stuff. Enjoyed the stories.

[@ralex3697]

Wonderful people, excellent company Sheila is missed, she was a big part as well America’s finest

[@DeadHeadLiner]

Steve, I would like to thank you. Such a great channel, your knowledge is impressing. :) Keep doing that!

[@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac]

DeadHeadLiner Thanks for watching!

[@victorsixtythree]

"Mat, could you come in here please...and bring your trombone." LOL - Mat must have been so confused.

[@MrStingraybernard]

Another good interview 👍

[@charleskatz2606]

Gotta go with consensus bout this interview series Steve.Really good stuff

[@ck23j]

Awesome. Friendly Guys.

[@troylogan4602]

It took me half way through the video before i realized these guys are VPI.

[@rj0640]

Steve, I don’t know how you’re going to top Nelson and the Weisfelds! Maybe you need to go to Canada and interview the Bryston group or out to California and speak to the Magico folks. Ah. I got it. You need to go to NY and spend some time with the McIntosh crew! Anyway, I love my VPI Prime Signature turntable. It is the gem of my system. I love that it’s made in the USA and in NJ, no less! Keep on rockin’!

[@janedoe8533]

That explains a lot, rush making every component, work till midnight so you are tired and not sure if you put it together correctly, then ship it off to a foreign country where if there is a problem, you don't have to worry about it. The standard model.

[@Reyfox1]

Would love to know what they connect their turntables to...what gear they listen with.

[@JessHull]

yeah I was really hoping they were going to get into that.

[@Audiojunkabus]

Steve, it's kinda curious, and hypocritical, that you performed blind tests for patrons but you and the other reviewers refuse to do them. For what it's worth I love this channel and all you contribute to the industry.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

I remember the first vinyl I heard on a stereo console from the 60's in the family living room. The arm and needle nobody gave a thought to. I remember it as kind of big and heavy and dorky metal. Each time it landed on a record God Knows the damage the needle that never got replaced did (The Needle and The Damage Done, lol). The sound was mostly vague and muddy. Then I played vinyl on a mid-fi technics table and system thru the 80's. The sound was better, but often I could not make out the lyrics of my favorite bands. The digital processed vinyl records sounded best, like Stop Making Sense and Bop Til You Drop. And cds also sounded better than their vinyl counterparts on that system. But I have never heard a great vinyl on a great system so I can't really tell if it's the better format. But it seems like that is what audiophiles are saying. On a great system the vinyl will usually beat the cd. But on a mid fi system the cd may beat the vinyl.

[@animehair]

Good stuff!!

[@charleskatz2606]

Steve what's in that rack firing those PAP's?

[@Gadgetdad007]

Did these guys star in the movie (Beverly Hills Cop) 🤣

[@bilguana11]

CDs have long exceeded vinyl so this is ridiculous.

[@carmenandthedevil2804]

Lol, blinkered.

[@mintsoda1157]

I like how this interview combines arrogance with narcissism while diminishing neither one. Maybe the mfr who only made a small note of their 40th anniversary in an print ad had it right. Really, a book written by yourselves promoting yourselves with no fact checking? Maybe you should have spent the money improving your almost non-existent customer service instead.

First? (That's a first;-)

@@NoEgg4u That may be true... I haven't watched the interview yet ;-)

[@meshplates]

You let the truth slip out of your mouth, Steve that analog easily beats digital. For the longest time you pretended to have bo preference.

[@johngordon1175]

This is rubbish they are probably not using a good dac, if you pay attention most all recordings are digital!
