VINYL DENS (Episode 2) - Vinyl community music room tours

[@Roberts-Passion-for-Vinyl]

Hello Frank, thanks for letting me be part of this. Much appreciated. You did a great job editing the pictures and loved your commentary. Look forward to more episodes. It's always great to see other rooms, colections and gear. And if you ever find yourself in The Netherlands, don't be a stranger. You're welcome anytime! :-)

[@Roberts-Passion-for-Vinyl]

p.s. I'll change the sign on my music room from 'Man Cave' to 'Vinyl Den'. :^)

[@thegreatlioness]

I know it’s been 2 years but I don’t care lol, your music room is INSANE!!!! Love it so much! 💖💖💖

[@Roberts-Passion-for-Vinyl]

That chair in the last chair is an Eames Chair, probably one of the most popular designer chairs!

[@ZRATAN69]

For all u guys saying I wish I had this and that, just think for a moment, u can have a music room, it just takes time, and space, and if u pick the right gear for your budget you should be fine!..and last be proud of what u got..👍👍👍🙂😁

[@Channel33RPM]

A good reminder Ernesto! Frank

[@gaza4543]

Theres no such thing as can't, and many different ways to go about it and completely agree. My music room is in the lounge, yeah theres a little give and take what i can have but its certainly possible and the whole family gets to enjoy it.

[@danieldaniels7571]

gaza4543 so true. Even when I was fresh out of high school in less than desirable roommate situations, there was room for quality separate audio components from the local thrift store.

[@AndyP126]

So, I don't have a record room. I started my re-entry into vinyl by finding a Dual 1257 turntable at Goodwill for $14.00. The thing worked great for about a month and then developed issues. The big one was playing backwards. I found a Technics SL-D2 for $40.00 that was missing a counterweight. I set that up as my primary table and put the Dual away. I work out of my basement most days (IT geek), and listen to CDs on a Sony Discman most days. Well, 2 weeks ago, I decided to try and bring the 1257 back to life. I bought a new cartridge for it. I found an online post about swapping out capacitors on the motor to fix the backward spinning. I bought a new belt. And, for the most part, it works again. I then ordered a ART DJPREII Phono Preamplifier and grabbed an old pair of Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 speakers out my garage. Threw the whole thing on table in my basement next to my desk and now I can listen to vinyl all day while I work (well, except when I am on conference calls.) But it's so nice to be able to spin vinyl all day while I work. And even better.. I gave all my records away in the 2000s to a coworker. When I bought the Dual, I texted him a pic of the turntable, and HE GAVE ME ALL MY OLD ALBUMS BACK. I didn't ask for them. He just told me to come get them. So, 3 days after I got a "new to me" turntable, I got an instant record collection.

[@218maryland]

What an amazing individual that coworker is. Wow.

[@AndyP126]

@@218maryland He wasn't even my coworker any more. He'd long left my company.

[@eladiocofresi5202]

It was great to see submissions of different types in this video. One thing I love is how you make people who listen to vinyl records feel welcome regardless of equipment and setup. This might just inspire me to submit a picture of my small yet fancy den.

[@GilyBeck]

I am loving the Vinyl Den episodes. It is so great to see how others enjoy music as well! All of the rooms are fantastic and inspires me for my room in my future! Jaw dropping!

I have 3 kids are home so there's no space for a dedicated music room. My system is in our bedroom. My jazz records are in the bedroom and the rest are in the baby's room next door. I'm actually quite happy with the set up! Frank, I would be happy to send photos. It's probably the only record collection housed next to a crib!

[@jamesmoore5469]

Awesome segment. The last episode inspired me to make some changes to my room. Great work, Frank

[@jobarrios]

This videos are very nice, it gives you an idea of what other people are doing, thanks!!

[@AndyP126]

Music lovers listen to music the way people watch TV. We like to sit down, put on a record or CD and just sit back and enjoy. I often sit on the couch with the liner notes in hand trying to discern the different instruments in a song. I still remember the day I sat down and REALLY listened to the song Blue Jeans by David Bowie and realized there was a xylophone in the song. It was magical. Sadly, there is another set of "audiophiles," which I like to refer to as "gear collectors." You never hear them discussing the music they listen to. But they'll talk for DAYS about the equipment they use to play the vinyl they never discuss. That's what I really like about your channel, Frank. Sure you talk about gear. But it's obvious to me you'd rather spend your money on the music than constantly chase equipment upgrades that will add little to the listening experience. Though I have to say I am very jealous of your Realistic vintage receiver score. That thing is a beast. You can spend thousands chasing that 10% increase in sonics you may get going from your gear to "next level" stuff. But who cares. If I had a few thousand extra dollars, I'd rather buy a bunch of grail LPs and CDs than more gear. What I have is more than good enough.

[@Channel33RPM]

Thank you Andy. Funny you mention the Realistic. It was acting up, so I took it out of service earlier this year. It was nothing crazy... the treble control stopped working. I am going to being it into the repair shop in the next week or 2, to see what they have to say. Cheers Frank

[@AndyP126]

@@Channel33RPM Vintage gear needs TLC. I got a guy on the other side of the state (I live in Pennsylvania) that will fix things for a reasonable price if I am willing to ship it to him and wait. He has my Realistic STA2600 and is slowly bringing it back to life. He sold me a Yamaha A520 amp for a really good price that I am using until the STA2600 is done. I lke this A520 so much, I don't know if I want the STA2600 back! The phono stage will do MM or MC. i.imgur.com/hhGfHNv.jpg

[@noisespektrum5416]

Brother Frank...i remember it was you who gave me the heads up on that Dio Boxset for under 100 bucks. Glad i grabbed it...Wanted Strange Highways on vinyl. Lots of guys out there like the pricey gear...its all about liking the older stereo stuff for me , awhile back i hooked up some white van speakers i bought when i was 17. haha. The guy did a nice Led swap on that Sears receiver. I did the same bluelight LED swap to an old JVC unit about a year ago. cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Channel33RPM]

Oh man... vintage gear rocks Lee. I love the late 70s especially. White van speakers... love it!!! I remember in the 80s these guys used to hang around the beer store, hawking stuff from their vehicles.

[@CanadianCharlie64]

I use what I can afford as I'm a father of 5 kids and due to health issues I do not work anymore. I have a small music room in size 8X12' where I keep my 600 LPs, 500+cds, DVDs, guitars and amps plus my budget stereo. I used to buy albums until the cd format came in during the mid-'80s and switched over to CDs. I mostly have rock/ metal music but I do like a bit of country, easy listening and so on. I can remember buying my first album back in 1977 (KISS - Love Gun) and my first cd in 1984 (Dire Straits - Brother's in Arms). Keep up this great channel

[@danieldaniels7571]

CanadianCharlie64 few things sound better that an original CD release of Brothers In Arms

[@jameschant2740]

What a fantastic episode ! Well Frank, great of you to point out that music room #4 needs, at the very least, an area rug. Reducing echo from a stereo system is money very well spent. Those components new in retail value I believe would surpass $40 K Canadian so get the most for your money.

[@Channel33RPM]

Wow!!! I knew that gear would be expensive, I just didn't realize THAT expensive. I'd love to hear what it sounds like. Cheers Frank

Really enjoying the music room video series. That McIntosh system is beautiful in a great listening room. Steve Guttenberg Audiophiliac has a similar series on his channel.

[@bobby666666]

I love the last room. Quite minimalistic and pleasing to the eye. Nice looking system too, but lights on a system are not a requirement for me. I currently don't have a full system at the moment, but hope to correct that next year. Cheap second hand is good too. Having too many recordings late in life is not necessary either as work and time restraints restrict hearing them all which is unfortunate. I also loved the Linn LP 12 in the first room. Brilliant video Frank which I thoroughly enjoyed.

[@Channel33RPM]

Thank you Robert. Frank

[@gsherlock]

If you can find an SL1200GR (and the money) get one. In stock form its much more revealing and refined than the 1200 Mk2 and there's still room for minor upgrades such as replacement head shell, mat and interconnects. The GR will also do justice to a better cartridge, I have a Benz Ruby Z on my own and its one of the better turntable packages I've had, I should mention that previously owned turntables from Systemdek, Roksan, Michell and Avid. All my previous models were spring belt drives and whilst they performed well enough none of them match the SL1200 for clean leading edges at the start of notes or the pitch stability. This seems to be the thing I'm most sensitive to as a listener and thats why I've now settled on the direct drive system, I hope you get to hear one.

[@syke512]

So that first room with a billion CDs and Records. He did say he was a journalist for music...I would bet a large majority of them were free for promotional / evaluation purposes. I'm not knocking it by any means, but there was a statement about imagining what it costs. I'm sure the equipment set him back quite a bit. Still very impressive! Love this series.

[@Roberts-Passion-for-Vinyl]

Yes, throughout the years I've receieved a lot of free stuff, but MOST cd's and vinyl are bought by myself.

I bought the new Technics SL1200 MK7 a couple of months ago. I use a Nagaoka MP-150 with a Schiit Mani running through a Pioneer Elite 2 channel receiver and Polk Audio speakers. I am very pleased with it. I highly recommend it. Maybe someday I too can buy a McIntosh amp or receiver.

[@Channel33RPM]

Cool to hear. I've been very curious about the MK7. I find it odd that Technics seems to be marketing it exclusively to DJs. They are missing out on a huge portion of the record-buying public. Cheers Frank

[@michael61465]

I agree. I bought it from a DJ shop in Denver, Colorado. The only drawback I find is that the dust cover has no hinges. But I suppose DJ's don't use dust covers.

[@gaza4543]

Hi Frank, personally id forget about the 1200 mk7 and get the stripped back 1500c (if and when the times comes for you), it comes with an amazing phono stage to boot, easily handling more expensive carts like the 2m black for example. AND if the itch really hits! The on board phono stage is defeatable allowing for more elaborate out board units to be used. A Truly nurture proof purchase that is currently the best bang for buck turntable technics do. IMO..... great vid with some amazing systems

[@Channel33RPM]

I also have my eye on the 1500C. I will try both out. I wish the 1500C did not come with an Ortofon Red. I think it sends the wrong message to include it (it undervalues the turntable in my opinion). There is nothing wrong at all with the Red. But I expect something better (or no cart at all), on a $1000+ turntable. I'm glad to hear about the phono stage. I will definitely audition this turntable. Thanks for the advice! Frank

[@gaza4543]

@@Channel33RPM Well i have no experience other than what i have but this table seems to have been tuned for it ( the red/ortofon that is, from what ive read) many reviewers saying its the best they've heard the red sound. (look up John Darko's review not review he explains it really well on his channel) What i do is use the red cart for second hand records to see how they play and i use my black for the rest of the time. Or you can just swap out the stylus for the blue. But yes i feel it should have come with at least the blue. BUT the phono stage on this table is really where the extra money has been spent.And you would have to spend around £600 to heard worthy difference. I think all in buying from a dealer with a little discount here and there i got the whole lot for around £1250 with a new heads shell for the black and the cart itself. Sitting down and auditioning the tables nothing else came close to the technics in terms of value and the sound and it holds up really well against the 1200gr which really does need an outboard phono stage of around 300 quid to make it start sounding pretty sweet (and i struggle see/hear the difference between 1500c and the 1200gr other than being Japanese made). Both the mk7 and the 1200gr both require extra out lay of a cart and phono stage. Options options! either way any of them will last you a life time

I'm by no means an audiophile, but thoroughly enjoy listening to music on vinyl. I started collecting in the 70s/80s as a kid. Then in the past year and a half started back up. I've now amassed about 600 records. I'm thinking of purchasing a Fluance turntable. Probably the RT84 or 85. I already own the Ortophon 2M Red so i'll probably go for the 84 for the upgrade to blue. I love your videos and your content. I'm not a fan of heavy metal, but seeing your passion for music alone is truly exciting. I'll submit my Vinyl Den pics shortly.

I pre-ordered that Dio box set from Pop Market. They must have messed up on the price. It was like $73 shipped in the US. I pressed records for a short time. The owner had a McIntosh setup. It did sound amazing. With his speakers and everything, about 50k. He had one of those chairs and ottoman as well. As Marc Maron would say, It did sound amazing but not 50k amazing. 😁

i wish i had photos of my set up over the years. best one would have been about 10 years ago when the music room was actually the other bedroom in the house. 2 sets of speakers. one in that room. and another one i set up in the living room. that way i could play tunes in either. had about 1200+ albums. 400+ tapes. 500+ 45's. i know i got a photo of some of that room. but it's pretty much not worth showing compared to how beautiful these other rooms they are.

[@perfectstack-music]

Love this segment, one of these days I'll have dedicated room. That being said, I don't know if the pursuit of the 1200 is because of it's history or not, but, I would also recommend checking out a Pioneer PLX 1000 as a second deck ;)

English recording is different than American recording techniques.

The older SL-1200 Technics turntables sound better than the newer ones. Technics did a reboot of the TT a couple of years ago, they were as good as the originals but much to expensive and were dropped because of lack of sales. So get an older one in good condition. regards

I’m going to have to post my den with my kiss collection

I'm an ABBA kind of guy but to each his own!

OMG! Jacob Murphy has an Eames chair! If that's an original it's worth a fortune! Looks original, although I think it might have been reupholstered. BOSS!

[@Channel33RPM]

I had to Google that. Wow!!! An amazing chair with a lot of history. It definitely looks like what Jacob has in his room. Frank

[@tomfurgas2844]

@@Channel33RPM I didn't know those were still being manufactured. They run around $7000 for the chair and ottoman. I once sat in one and didn't want to get up. Super comfortable. His Vinyl Den is super excellent.

Fruga-phile....it’s a perfect name for most of us enthusiasts who actually have to budget. I’d submit a few pics of my music room but seeing as how it’s also my bedroom, that’s not going to happen any time soon.

[@gaza4543]

It applies to anybody, everyone has budget, if your a student yeah then super affordable vintage gear is the way to go (as long as you don't have to keep repairing it). BUT! Even the guys with mega bucks in the bank have to be frugal even more so in some cases. No point buying a million dollar system when you have 500K in your account, but in my experience the question normally asked by those guys is "how do i get million dollar sound for half the price" no one likes spending money. It's just a moving scale its all relative to life style. We all pine for things out of reach. And all music rooms start in bedrooms don't be ashamed by that!

[@TrippinGnome]

Fruga-phile is a great term! I've been labeling myself as a budgetphile, maybe time to update the label! 😀 Being retired the monthly allotment of money seems to have a habit of running out before the month is over. 😜

Hi Frank. Just stumbled over this older vd, and would love if you would do another round of subscribers set-up's. I'm an Audiophile and spend my time in various HI-FI sites and communities, and that's a lot of fun for me. But after seeing a lot of your vd's, i have some kind called in love with this community, where there is not the same amount of shame bashing and negative comments, as i see a lot in these Audiophile communities. I'm sure you guys also are into good sound reproduction, to hear your favorite album in it's best manner, also with a mid priced set-up. So please, do not tell me that sound doesen't matter, as i'm use to hear when debating why i spend that amount of money on my stereo. I know for a fact that sound matters to the most of us, and now or days, you can get a decent set-up for under 1000 USD, so what i'm saying is, it doesen't have to be crazy high prices. And look at some of the rooms here, where you defiantly come across some more heavy and expensive set-up's and it seems that we somehow have some common ground here, and for me that's very pleasefull to see and read. I will surely stay tuned for more. Cheers from Denmark

Hi Thomas. Thanks for watching the video. There will be a new episode of Vinyl Dens tomorrow (Sunday). Frank

[@wouterlevering4296]

Also own a LP12 with the same Lingo power supply. It also has the same plinth as the one Robert Haagsma has in his room. And i also have a SL1200 at our attic bedroom, which is the place where i listen with my headphones. I don't know if you still want photos of musicrooms, but i can send you some. It's small but it has some nice gear and records😎

[@Channel33RPM]

Yes, feel free to send the pics to my gmail ([e-mail]). Include 4 to 6 photos or more, plus some information about yourself and your set up. thanks Frank

[@wouterlevering4296]

@@Channel33RPM Wow that's a quick reply! I'll send some info and photos. Love your channel! Also from Holland btw and i have family living in Ontario.

[@iceWaterProductions1]

Can you believe what you said about Jacob his wife allows him to have a record room . Wow

[@helgar791]

That vintage Eames chair and ottoman perhaps cost more than his entire McIntosh system.

[@matepoon]

Enjoyed the video Frank, only problem with the new name is that no one outside of North America uses the term 'Den'.

[@icpizzaboy]
