Vinyl Community: Room Tours (Finally!!!)

Upstairs and Downstairs Room Tours

[@ComicRhema]

Great place. I enjoyed your kids personal touch to the room

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I try to put up everything they make but some stuff doesn’t fit. Thanks for watching!

[@ComicRhema]

Was looking for your channel. Thought I had subbed. Found you, now I’m subbed. Really enjoyed the tour!

[@HighnoonsVinyl]

Awesome room tour. Love all the little personal touches ( artwork, kids creations, etc ). Well done.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks Tim! I try to incorporate anything that they get me.

[@lindaleg3659]

Very nice room tour Chris. Love those DQ speakers and how you acquired them. The Rock n Roll theatre poster is wicked cool. Outstanding job on the Dodgers pillow....Go Twins! You def got everything covered. Enjoyed immensely!

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Those Dahlquists are my favorite audio piece Andre. I’ll tell my daughter you like the pillow. I actually kind of like the Twins and they’re having a great year. Take care!

[@mrhoffame]

"That's where the cat takes a crap" then moved right on with the tour LOL!!! I laughed so freakn' hard lol!! Beautiful dogs. Boxers and Labs are my favorite. Those black and white Jazz prints are amazing and that picture of you that the kids drew is SPOT ON lol! Great tour my friend. Loved it!!

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I tell it like it is Brandon! This is our 2nd boxer but the other one passed a few years ago. That would be my daughter’s drawing of me you’re referring to and I have no idea where she gets her artistry from. Thanks for watching!

[@MikeGuitarPlayer07]

A very fun video! It's always cool seeing other people's setups! I'm jealous of your jazz photos and records! Great video as always and I look forward to the next one!

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Room tours are amongst my favorite vc videos as well. Thanks for watching Mike!

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

Very clean and orgainized set up. Great to see what you have and your system, though most of that goes over my head. Love the B&W pictures and poster. Thanks for finally doing this. Steve

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks for watching Steve. You are probably an audiophile and we don’t even know it. Take care!

[@MelindaMurphy]

First off, I loved the dogs. Really cute. I really enjoyed the tour. I love all the framed posters of Dylan, Lennon, and the black & white jazz pictures were beautiful. The 45's storage trunks were really cool too. Your wife did good with the pillow covers. Thank you for showing us around. I really enjoyed it.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks Melinda! The boxer is mine and the Boston is my wife’s baby! I have a thing for the 45 storage boxes so I pick them up at estate sales. Thanks for watching!

[@L.E.55472]

Afternoon Chris....whoa whoa those Dahlquist speakers are boss to the power of THE BOSS😎 love the black n white photos just something about the contrast, of course huge fan of Technics....just two really great rooms for chillin and lettin it go.... your family support of your hobby is great to hear and yea that neon sign your wife picked up? Heck yeah crazy cool...thanks for showing us around Chris happy 4th- Lis

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks Lis! I like having the photos kind of greeting you while entering the room. You can’t go wrong with any Technics turntable in my opinion. Thanks for watching!

[@marc.g.with.a.c.]

You’ve got a really nice set up there my friend!! Your music room bathroom is bigger than my music room! I’m in the UK, so as you know everything is smaller here!! lol!! Thanks for sharing your room with us & I thoroughly enjoyed watching!! 🤘🏻

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Lol! Where do you find room for it all? Thanks for watching!

[@chris_has_the_spins]

Awesome video and setup(s) my friend! Funny into as well getting bombarded by the pups haha! Really love that upstairs music room - it's evident that you took a lot of effort and set that up gradually over time and it looks amazing. Looks like all top notch gear and I have to bet that your records sound amazing coming through those speakers! Thanks for the tour Chris!

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks Chris! It did take me a while to setup the decor how I wanted it and my wife pretty much painted the entire room for me. I really like the setups I have right now and everything sounds great to me for the time being. That could change at any moment though. Take care my friend.

[@Speekers_corner]

Love the music room, Chris. A welcoming space. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Jeff

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks Jeff! All are welcome.

[@RandallWeaver]

Fantastic tour Chris. I totally enjoyed it. Thanks! ~ Randy

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks for watching Randy!

[@TheVinylverse]

I'm not sure I'd ever leave your record room, Chris! You have a good amount of space to handle all of your gear, vinyl and relaxation. I really enjoyed seeing everything. I think you need to start a podcast on how to find the deals you find at estate sales, eBay, cragslist, etc. I have dreams of doing something similar to your jazz pictures if I ever get a bigger space. Right now I have a corner of the play room/office/music room. Thanks for sharing this! Happy 4th of July to you!

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I try not to leave either Bill! Vinyl and relaxation go hand in hand for me. I thought about making a video about eBay browsing. Might have to follow through with that. Thanks for watching!

[@listen_to_records444]

Love it Chris! Very cool vintage gear. Happy 4th!

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks Zach! Hope your 4th was great!

[@dixielandfarm]

Very nice pics in the music room. Love the Disney RR signs :) God Only Knows is my wife's favorite song.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I was waiting for you to say something about that. We got those at the Disney parks outlet store in Orlando while we were there. I think we're planning a trip back next year probably. God Only Knows is in my top 3 and might be my number 1 as well.

[@richardriley4415]

Room tours are always fun. Its neat to see all of the different equipment. My room(s) are a mess.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks Richard! I always enjoy your videos.

[@inmatejason]

WOW!!! I’m so jealous of your downstairs onkyo system, that’s truly a thing of beauty and I hope one day I can find one in my price range.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I got lucky and inherited mine but it will never leave my setup. Thanks for watching!

[@MissLadySoul]

Congrats, you have an amazing set up and a great collection! I have a similar Technics record player... I would spend so much time in that room :-) Enjoy!!

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks so much! I try to spend as much time as possible in there.

[@Paneeks1960]

That was fantastic Chris. I actually watched it last night and started to leave you a killer comment. Then I had to run out. I left the tab open so I would not delete my comment but sure enough ex'd out my tab and lost the whole comment. You Tube set it up to save your comment even if you leave the video completely. But you have to do it f~a~s~t enough to make it count/save. Anyways. In short I really dug seeing your system, the Technics SL- 1650 {very cool and for $40 clams? Super} the neon Records light, your 7" collection/cases, your record racks/shelves and the way you do not overcrowd like me and also your whole setup with the layout of the room. I am still in the middle of getting my two rooms together. The clean-out/donate/giveaway/shredding is completely done. The shelve building has been started and the the plans to paint or other is in the process. Hoping that it will have a used record store vibe to it after my cousin builds the digging bins, lighting, etc... If it looks as half as comfortable as your room I will be very happy. Enjoy your 4th Of July Chris. Thanks for giving us the tour. I really enjoyed it~ Rob/Boston

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Give it a couple months and it will probably get crowded again. Looking forward to seeing your finished room. Thanks for the kind words Rob!

[@GroovyLisa]

Nice setup you have I enjoy seeing the setup looks super cool.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thank you Lisa!

[@tomh8482]

Lovely setup. I would love something downstairs but the wife is not a music fan.But I have my man cave so can’t complain. Great rooms tour. Have a good one Tom

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks Tom! My wife doesn't like all the music I like...especially Jazz. She does like most everything else though and she likes the look and it's kind of a conversation piece as well.

[@happyhippythevinylguy]

Enjoyed it man ("_") Love the dogs!! The Jazz pic's and the poster are sweet. Great room My man, tons of great stuff.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks so much! Love my pups!

[@TONEScott]

Very well thought out arrangement Chris. Love the Dalquists. One of the first pair of affordable quote/unquote “high-end” (or) discerning Audiophile-grade mains that I ever owned... probably back in the late 90’s. And as I mentioned, I think your main turntable is a very nice choice. P.S., I’d go with the Nagaoka cart between the two of those. ;-) - TONE

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I will probably change the Acutex over to the Nagaoka when I get that urge to change something. I wanted these speakers for a while before finding a pair. Take care!

[@Rockoli]

Nice music room(s)! Thanks for the tour!

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks for watching!

[@J0N_]

Question for you all.. I have a budget for speaker towers but my listening room is the size of a small living room. Would it be better to go bookshelf speaker so I can push the speakers or go tower that sound very full but probably boom at a small volume? Great room BTW.

[@mikezags0816]

Hey bud. Loved the room tour. Also loved those toy turntables. I’m looking for a califone🤞🤞 looking forward to your videos. I’m new to you. Thanks.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Califones are very cool as well! Thanks for stopping by! Take care!

[@djtrishm]

Wow a very Nice set up! Just subbed! Thumbs up! Trish

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks Trish!

[@scottspinner1]

Thanks for showing your listening room. I’m amazed at the amount of record collectors are not in to Hifi.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I am right in the middle. I think my next big purchase will be a top notch turntable. Thanks for watching!

[@007KrausBean]

Nice to hear the 'I don't wanna wait' track from Colemine records. I love that Soul slabs Vol. 2 box. Good tunes.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

That is one of my favorite albums from 2019. The Colemine label in general is fantastic. Thanks for watching!

[@fisch1139]

Another Airline employee here thanks for sharing 👍🏼 Have an Onkyo Super Audio C-S5VL CD player

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks for watching!

[@vinylcity1599]

Your dogs and your system is very nice! I subbed BTW!

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks for the kind words and stopping by. Heading over to your channel now.

[@vinylcity1599]

@@firstpressinggoodness8329 😉👍

[@life5161]

Very Nice. Thanks for sharing

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks for watching Brian!

[@TheZeekgeek1]

First dog attack room tour video I have seen

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Always gotta be a first!

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Nice setup, bar the cat crap ;) Love that Onkyo amp with the VU meters.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I’m trying to get the cat out of there. She’s 14 so who knows how much longer. Thanks for watching!

[@michiganrecordclub4484]

You need to send me some jazz vclt. Not sure what you like beSides jazz. Love your record room. Nice setup. I like the poster with all the musicians. Neon very nice. JBL are nice too. 1650 turntable is real sweet. I had to get me a Technics SL1200 MK2. It's a beast. It will last for ever and in the past 50 years of record collecting it's my choice. Very nice my friend. You should be proud. Bill Young

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I love all genres of music Bill but jazz is probably my favorite. SL-1200 is a great turntable as well. Thanks for watching!

[@musicman257]

such a sweet room

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks so much!

[@artistsonrecord]

Cool tour

[@bobdeherrera5158]

Have two dogs with the same names! Nice rooms btw

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks for watching Bob! Very cool having the same dog names.

[@richardobannon6301]

Nice setup. Love other peoples rooms

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks Richard!

[@johnmoreno96]

Nice ManCave, Really like the the posters Dylan, Lennon and the jazz photos! The soul music in the background sounded great. Who was that? Thanks for the video 👍 ☮️🎼☮️🎶☮️

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

That was Kelly Finnigan On Colemine Records. Thanks for watching!

[@byMikes]

This is an awesome setup man, i'm jealous. Also that LP you are listening to is fantastic? This video was the first time I had heard it. Blown away! EDIT: Also, I'm on the lookout for a new amp and I like the look of your yamaha. How much did that set you back?

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I got it on the OfferUp app for pretty cheap but I think they go for around $500-$600 online. I really enjoy it so far. Thanks for the kind words!

[@musicalchurch]

May I recommend the Onkoyo C-7030 single deck CD player. I have that in my system and am very happy with it.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

That is what my dad originally had before it broke and he replaced it with the current one. I always look on ebay and such for a replacement with the rosewood sides.

[@dougg1075]

Steve Guttenberg takes a tour of Grado’s place. Pretty cool. Nice jams man

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thanks Doug! I saw that Guttenberg tour and it was great. Nice family run company in Brooklyn.

[@offthebeatentracks4515]

Nice setup.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Thank you!

[@KIDDVIDD]

Where did you get that shelf where you keep all your jazz records? What brand is that? I need something just like that for my gameroom.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

That is the Ikea Kallax with 8 cubes. Thanks for watching!

[@docbriand.7464]

We have a Boston too!!!

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Nice! They are great dogs. Thanks for watching.

[@davenelson2901]

nice collection ..notice you enjoy blues and old jazz men ...check out some king curtis...you would enjoy...nice video

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I have 1 King Curtis I think. I do enjoy his music though. Thanks for watching!

[@casacriss]

Nice set ups. Where did you purchase the vinyl storage shelves in your upstairs listening room? I need something similar.

[@mradriankool]

Kevin Criss check ikea kallax system. Easy to build and custom to needs.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

The black shelves are the Ikea Kallax and the grey shelves are from Lowes I think.

[@mmmbbq]

That 45 stacker for your technics will probably cost you double what you paid for that Technics TT. LOL They are rare birds indeed. I'd probably pay it if I was into 45's like you are.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

You got that right! I still haven't got one yet for that reason. I don't mind flipping them. Thanks for watching!

[@paulzaler5384]

Why wouldn't you have the equipment powered up so we can see the displays and lights to get the full effect?

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Will keep that in mind...thanks for watching!

[@hoodatdare7039]

I HAVE THE JBL 3 WAY BOOKSHELF - SURROUND ES 30 SPEAKERS WITH THE JBL LOFT 50 TOWERS.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I am enjoying these JBL’s for now. Thanks for watching Ken!

[@uselessoldman7964]

The Japanese know how to make an amp look impressive even if the sound has its limitations, their inbred inherent love for a clean and bright sound. It kicks out 120w at 8 ohms and 170 at 4 ohms, impressive but that is tops so its really nothing special just looks an absolute beast. I would guess the Yamaha sounds better, I love their "Natural" tone

[@samsquanch67]

Great room! Where did you get the displays that hold records on the wall?

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Those are all from Ikea. I can't remember the name but they have all different sizes.

[@dougg1075]

My buddy has two boxers.. super sweet dogs.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

I had two Boxers but one died last year...great dogs!

[@andmoreagain]

i wouldnt be able to stand having a shitnpiss box in my record room. cool setup though

[@dougg1075]

How do the Dalquist sound upstairs?

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

The Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers are downstairs (square ones) and they sound terrific. I had been wanting them for a long time so I was really happy once I found them.

[@jakefiersing]

~Min.6: "This Amp looks awsome with the green vu meters." ---- You make a video to show us your equipement. WHY DON'T YOU SHOW IT WORKING AND LIGHTING ?????

[@Zoetropeification]

7:50 Just curious which model is the Sansui receiver?

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

It is a Sansui 1000x. Not much wattage but great sound!

[@earvinquero2037]

So good! You want to buy Records not hifi equipment! if ever Spotify Crash you can still listen to music.

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Yes!!!

[@whittierlibrarybookstore3708]

Onkyo is pronounced closer to ON-KeYO, 2 syllables. Just a friendly fyi

[@firstpressinggoodness8329]

Good to know...thank you!

[@fizzlebomber674]

this video is roughly 21 minutes long, i broke wind for approximately 14 minutes of this.
