[@rts100x5]

I couldnt afford to watch this video

[@airguntherapy8665]

I'd take your money and see/hear the real thing. Nothing can take place of reality.

[@jogmas12]

Yazole, true, but he needs to come home sometime, midas Well bring a little bit of that reality home with him with a system like this.

[@kevinsweeney562]

It would sound horrible without those cable lifters.

[@happylemon666]

+Kevin Sweeney or the little weights on each box....

[@mikegrown9691]

+happylemon666 😂😂😂

[@cravenmoorehead7099]

Kevin Sweeney Or a power failure

[@harrybaules]

They are called Coaxial Membrane Suspension Apparatus. If you're going to make fun of us at least get it right.

[@uuhduhh8706]

I think he was making a joke ^^

[@raptor1992]

A blind test would make these guys cry.

[@Danexi223]

These guys just can't listen from 40Hz-12Khz. Aging matters.

[@brunorivademar5356]

Jorge Pérez You don't lose hearing in the lower octaves. Plus the range from 12.000 hz and up is barely listenable. 95% of the music is in the 30 to 13k hz. Get educated before writing ignorant comments.

[@vdochev]

@@brunorivademar5356 I can hear from 20 Hz to 17500 Hz.

[@musiccritic8704]

vdochev I can hear from 13 hz to 100,000,000 hz

[@taliahcybele]

This guy is playing music on an audio system for the expressed purpose of appreciating "the system" rather than the music.

[@frankeckert4901]

The cables are allergic to carpet fibers.

[@ptdecker]

A fool and his money . . . Congratulations to the companies that sold him this system.

[@peterc3143]

He might have lots of money already. Quite often we make comments like that, because we are jealous.

[@rezasayar3441]

For that money he could have gon out with the singer as long as he wanted and sometimes he could have another babe for the smaller room! How about that.

[@r107roadster]

As soon as I saw the little stands to support the cables I started laughing.

[@jasonhess7452]

Totally f*%king ludicrous. I know, let's build a totally over the top system and then listen to musical garbage!

[@MKBEntertainment]

yup, a lot of snake oil, Not even an accurate system! A fraction of the price can be sued to build your own that would completely blow away his system!

[@MrRugDoctor78]

MKBEntertainment Perhaps, but would it be diamond studded? lmfao : ) btw, wonder if he got his interconnects from monoprice??

[@MrRugDoctor78]

I feel like this guy is a PERFECT example of the most extreme level of what would could happen if you have a guy with infinite funds buy everything the salesman at Best Buy's Magnolia recommends. I don't believe that anyone who REALLY knows audio from a raw perspective, would ever buy some of what I saw in this video. Unless of course, $ was just absolutely not an object, which seems to be the case here.

[@MKBEntertainment]

yup couldn't agree more. With infinite funds, man I could build something custom that would blow everything else away. And will still use blueJeanscables or Monoprice. I just like the idea of Beldin builds and sturdy for connections

[@jazzlicka]

The Gentleman is free to do what he wishes with his money it is a beautiful system and the man is passionate about music and music replay .....Stop the hating

[@Mortison77577]

The guy is a nut.

[@vindicari]

JazzLicka at his age he is half fukkin deaf

[@teunisswart1390]

vindicari Depends on what volume he has his system on. You have more young people going deaf in the car going BOOM BOOM BOOM.

[@willemjansen1141]

He is more passionate in spending cash than he is in actual music

[@flybeep1661]

JazzLicka and everyone is also equally free to laugh their asses off at this. Frankly I find this hilarious a fuck and can't stop chuckling.

[@danslabouchedelapresse4556]

If I had the money, I will build my own hydropower to get the cleanest possible electricity. I will build a river with the cleanest water and only where water drops at exactly 1G so the water doesn't get distorted. I will build the river inside a mountain so there is no wind to distress the water.

[@georgesaad651]

Later he upgraded to a Bose. :)

[@nomraun]

A million dollar microphone needs to be developed for just this occasion

[@cmdrdoc]

Watching this video on KZbin is like chewing gum at a wine tasting...

[@Sai-lj3rv]

All this guy needs now is to build a Faraday Cage around his set-up to add to the placebo effect. The snake oil is strong in this video

[@andystevenson7175]

Very nice..Might be cheaper to just hire a live band for the next 15 years to play in your house lol :)

[@kirannakarmi1149]

andy stevenson that's so true mate!

[@DucksDeLucks]

What you want to do is put the band behind a curtain and put some speakers in front of it so you'll think you have a great audio system ---- or maybe you'll think your system sucks!

[@MrWalker1000]

thats the thing I dont get about people who spend so much money. what happened to seeing musicians live?

[@muddyfunker3014]

Hahaha this is such a brilliant reply.

[@kasterchoi7952]

Funny... unless you're talking about a total acoustical band, you'll still hear the band out of speakers... those stadium JBLs... if you're lucky. Music is stitched. It's not a single recording people. The reason why they do that, is because the artist can't be perfect every time. Believe it or not, recorded sound is better.

[@markcamidge9765]

Love to hear the Stones Little Red Rooster on this.

[@rx7dude2006]

sound systems like this equate somewhat like 240p television signals to 4k.You have to hear it in person to appreciate it.

[@7Skulls7]

Years ago my older brother and I shared an apartment, ( 1970s), his room was on one side of the livingroom and mine was on the other. I bought a rather expensive stereo system MacIntosh, I would listen to classical orchestra, and some rock on vinyl. A lot of jazz greats too! My brother liked the idea of a fine stereo. He went out and bought a Kenwood setup with a cassette deck. He heard no difference between either system....He was unable to hear any difference between a MM cartridge or a MC one! His speaker cable was the same wire used to connect a lamp to a wall socket. Years later when I was spending 10,000 on a decent system he had a Bose Wave radio which he thought was a giant leap in audio technology. To me the wave radio sounded like two toilet paper tubes with 2 Trojan rubbers as the cones!!! Now I'm sixty and I like a system that I can take with me when I go on vacation. So I have a Shiit Mjolnir, a Shiit Gungnir, a pair of Audeze LCD-3's with left and right balanced cables, a 200.00 dollar USB cable and my Alienware M18X laptop. I bring the B&W PM1's sometimes. I also drink a 80.00 dollar bottle of Scotch instead of a 30.00 bottle because my taste buds are very sensitive. I can pick out all the subtle differences in the whiskeys taste. So in laymans terms some people have a higher sensitivity to subtle differences and others can't tell the difference between two Trojans and a pair of toilet paper tubes. Thats how the world is...what can you do!

[@7Skulls7]

***** LOL, very well put Kevin, Kudos

[@7Skulls7]

Also I have an all analog turntable system with tube pres, so I'm not all just digital. It's just so much easier to pickup and go on vacation with digital over analog!

[@labdrive]

If you suspend your $200.00 USB cable off the ground using cotton strings, it will sound like a $1000.00 USB cable. And that is the absolute truth.

[@labdrive]

Perhaps less sexy: if you suspend a $1000.00 USB cable off the ground using cotton strings, it will sound like a $10 USB cable. Again, absolute truth.

[@labdrive]

labdrive Now this: a $1000.00 USB cable sounds exactly like a $200.00 USB cable and/or a $10.00 USB cable, all or either suspended or not by cotton strings, or by little granit pyramids.

[@lancedillinger]

Impressive as it looks... Those 50 year old ears probably can't hear above 12k anyway.

[@freedoomusic6799]

I know right, Im 29 and i can't hear above 15khz anymore and i love good sound with a passion just like everyone else here. rock concerts are bad ruins our hearing. -.-

[@rotaryphoneuser1619]

I find that using empty coffee cup upside down as a cable lifter is better than any aftermarket lifter. You can adjust the height by using extra small to extra large cup. Simply stunning.

[@bottomendbliss]

Damn! i saw those cable lifters and was waiting for a little choo choo train to roll by

[@SpyderBlackOfficial]

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

[@jmccarty3]

The thing I sense from most of these comments is ENVY.

[@drokane99]

The Emperor and his new clothes have never looked snappier

[@dukenukem3dfx572]

It's all so clean and organized. Watched a lot of videos with audiophile listening rooms which seems way too busy, messy and just random. This is how it's done.

[@tingokuman]

That is the best tribute to analog I have ever seen WELL DONE !

[@jkherberger]

Except for the hybrid digital amp.

[@marottajoe]

Have you had an engineer in with the necessary equipment to actually scientifally measure the response and measure THD? If so can you please provide these?

[@WiserInTime]

I wish I could just spend enough time to sit in that room and listen to Steely Dan's Aja with a mojito to sip on. Ahhhhh. Would be nice.

[@bighands69]

+Wiser InTime A good CD player and a good headphone set up just sounds amazing. I would say a good headphone set up could be done from $200 to $100.

[@WiserInTime]

bighands69 Headphones are ok. They can't recreate the feel of a live music though. Loud speakers can. Headphones can never make you feel bass or the punch in lots of recordings. Headphones also don't do well in creating a sound stage. Sometimes you get this weird "the sound in coming from inside my head" feeling. Speakers can create the illusion of "the band is right in front of me." Nothing beats good speakers in a room.

[@georgeblisson8561]

+bighands69 NO WAY, you will need a bit more than that, try a 1,000 on each, (amp & phones), I wasted lots on buying cheap headphones yrs ago.

[@brunorivademar5356]

Beautiful. Just finished reading the 9 page long listening room build on 6moons. Good stuff!!

[@ZipSnipe]

Holy effin over done !!! My god who needs that much quality damn !!!

[@F3buS9meEBR]

that guy's getting placebo'd so hard

[@julesbarry2081]

I see the train track, where's the train?.................lol

[@r91976]

Lol!

[@BTom16]

I envy the room dimensions of 10x20x30. I'll bet the acoustics in that room are outstanding.

[@TheAudiophile81]

great room and lovely set up!

[@blissmd]

Amazing! it sounds as good as my laptop speakers

[@c0uchsl0uch]

just get the band to come play at your house instead

[@vdochev]

The band probably don't use cable lifters so it'll sound worse, LMFAO!

[@robertocalderonabogado1427]

Great equip. Really well done. Good there´s also has acoustic panels and bass traps. Cable lifters are awesome !!! The seek for perfection shows in every detail; and together little details make a big difference.

[@hecguevara5848]

Gorgeous setup. Love the Tenors...

[@roimark358]

I noticed why all these high-end class-A amplifiers play music with 2 to 4 different frequencies only, why don't they play music that has all the frequencies and musical instruments. Like rock music.

[@kramsniggah4333]

Cable lifters!!!!!!! All cred gone out the door.....

[@ARIKIP]

Wow...great setup. A system most of us can only dream about. Sounds excellent...even on my PC and monitor speakers.

[@jhugo1986]

Seriously like wow..... I'll just sit here with my 2 Klipsch RF-7 II s , svs pb13 sub, McIntosh amps and denon receiver and stare at this masterpiece.

[@archiethedog4515]

Do you listen to Tool?

[@mozartfx1]

I checked it out and I can't even afford the blocks that the amps rest on....oh well. Beautiful.

[@bighands69]

+Mozart FX For 99.99% of people this system would be over kill and it would make no sense. To have a system anything near to this would also mean that the user would need to have vast engineering knowledge and also an ear to calibrate the sound to special characteristics and then to top it they would need to be using instruments and equipments. And then 99.9999% of people simply would not hear any benefit to the system. A $1000 system is enough.

[@georgeblisson8561]

+bighands69 Try %98

[@martinshow5146]

+Mozart FX believe me you don't need it. it is just an american guys way to show off. like cars and RVs and houses.... i have the best the biggest and be carefull it is the most expensive. the secret in such good sound quality is. Big and good quality speakers, good amp, you can get a vintage techniks or pionneer on ebay. and of course the room where you install your set. must have some sound absorbers and no stuff laying around that can vibrate and make extra noise while the music is playing that's all

[@krishtrinity]

+Zeeadster TV but its not just American guys is it..Every country has audiophiles with insanely music system.

[@carewser]

+KrishKrusher Thanks captain obvious but i'm pretty sure Zeeadster was referring to the guy in the video who's American. I also don't think there is usually anything pretentious about people who have systems like these because I too have the audio bug and if I were really rich i'd probably have a system like this and I couldn't care less what people think of me or the system. Like another guy here said, systems like this sound so beautiful you can actually have an unexpected emotional response to them.

[@64fairlane305]

high-end audio is a sick religion, just look at the way he has bridged up his cables

[@avbarcena8070]

Wow!!!Amazing audio set-up.....One of the best...!

[@534wiseoldwolf]

The music is not doing the speakers justice at all. Yes, blue mind is a beautiful song, but it does not push ANY audio system. The song could sound great with a cheap sub-500$ setup. Put in some well mixed rock or some classical. Give the speakers some actual work to do. I guarantee the speakers will reward you for it.

[@dhruvgrg]

Have been trying to find good demos of hifi gear and good majority are demoed with this kind of music :(

[@dhruvgrg]

+ThorntonHiFi thanks, will check them out!

[@olivermatich2818]

+534wiseoldwolf only true test of speakers is electronic music whether you like it or not. only way to really push the dynamics to their limit.

[@RyKoMedia]

+dhruvgrg ALways bring your own music. I demo using system of the down, creed, rhcp etc. If they cant handle the dynamics of those types of bands at high volumes, garbage IMO

[@olivermatich2818]

+ThorntonHiFi there are no instruments that can represent the delicacy and dynamism of sound heard in the music of artists like amon tobin, bitcrush, eskmo, etc. I'm big into classical and acoustic music but it is significantly easier to reproduce based on the physical limitation of the sound due to the physical parameters of the instrument making it, and microphone recording it. it might seem that acoustic sources are more real and a better test, but it's precisely the opposite. it's because we fail to see the flaws, and can also introduce psychosomatic flaws to the sound, due to the fact that it is sound we are used to and sound that does not push the envelope of the system.

[@NiohNiohYT]

Those cables are good only as jumping ropes

[@IvanBoskovic808]

hahahahahha lol

[@NiohNiohYT]

I meant this as joke but come on! there was infinite blind tests with many so called audiophiles including owner of linn for example some guys from wadia that "should be pros in this and able to recognize smallest difference" and many other forum guys that spend a lot of money on hifi gear and there was always around 50% chance of getting right which leads to conclusion there is no difference in sound, at least not with such short cables... And those cable holders? ahahahahahahah funny shit, tho very good gear, I bet it sound like heaven, but cables are just silly!

[@mazinais31]

Petar Stankovic yeah that looks funny as hell - audiophiles are basically just people with massive ocd and some smart people are milking them like crazy... all you need to check are the laws of physics to see those cables do not make any difference whatsoever////

[@NiohNiohYT]

Yeah.. Well i consider myself something of a light audiophile since i really enjoy great sound more than its normal and getting to know about everything as much as possible... But the fact is that people couldnt recognize with blind tests difference between some amps where one was pioneer 450$ and other was costing 5600$ for example... let alone golden jacks, crystal cables and such nonsense as cable holders so they dont touch the ground

[@PetFlyss]

actually they also transmit electrical signals well

[@joe6096]

Just one question: what sounds better - my Stratocaster right into my '59 Bassman reissue, or my Stratocaster right into my '59 Bassman reissue through this system?

[@tombryan1]

Is the air used in the suspension completely cleaned of particles down to .5 microns? How about the belt? Is it made of vulcanized rubber from a rubber tree's north facing side? I know it sounds trivial but tests have shown this makes a difference to the sound enhancement for certain subterranean amoebas and very specific deep granite rock formation's natural resonance. Also, what is the price for the complete system, including a matching bean bag chair? I was thinking $562.6 million myself, but would like to know what actual retail would be, and do you ship to mars?

[@guanylic]

Can you buy them @ Walmart? :-)

[@humnaset]

Very impressive. Even on youtube I still can hear the details and dynamics of the song. It sounds like a live performance, not from speakers. I could not imagine how it would be to hear it live.

[@humnaset]

***** Yea, that's true. I just got myself a good DAC and connect it to a pair of studio monitors and a sub. With all the interconnections they cost me only around $600. The sound is still no where near a turntable system but for that price, they sound very good.

[@HappyHopping11]

thanks for digging out this video for me. But I just can't get the spelling of that audio deck maker, it seems the spelling is Renzetti, but that yields www.renzetti.com, which is a fishing co. So what's the name of the co. who makes the wooden A/V deck?

[@stijnkraft]

Altough that's very true, it's remarkable how the speakers actually sound more relaxed, yet more detailed than the actual voices speaking in the video. I'm judging this through an M-Audio Delta 44, Musical Fidelity X-Can 2 and an AKG K601. It sure makes me want to listen to this set-up in real life. It seems so lovely!

[@Randommmmm204]

I want to hear how it handles decaf.

[@DucksDeLucks]

Judging from how good it sounds on my Hp laptop that system is worth every penny!

[@ummjt]

Gosh - sounds like you're living in the microphone at a live performance! Pure musical / audiophile bliss. Wish I could afford more than just to imagine being there!Track is by Anne Bisson for those that are interested!

[@DKBoerner]

What a great idea to make videos about the world's greatest audio and video systems. One day, these systems will be gone and even nowadays, not everybody has the chance to visit them in person. So thank you Peter Breuninger for this extraordinary insight!

[@jlb8830]

Those cable lifters make such a HUGE difference!... Gotta get me some of those... Did you take into consideration the frequency response of the CARPET? It might affect your sound... This is ridiculous. And all that gear to listen to...VINYLS ?!?!?! Is there really nothing else you can blow your money on?

[@techhouse9002]

carpet - you just gave them an idea ...

[@ericphillips7740]

JL B LMAO!

[@TooCynical]

Vinyl actually has the best sound

[@DrinkWater713]

You mean most distorted sound, complete with pops, clicks, crappy frequency response and huge noise floor, right ?

[@uhugvjkbkjh]

nice but does it go to 11?

[@o0Donuts0o]

Only if he has zero-gravity assembled, reverse modulated, atomically treated, negative phase-pulse anodized flux Byzantium coated speaker cables using connecters that exist only in quantum space. This allows the sound to not be coloured or precise, dry or warm but all states at once allowing for the purest reproduction of slow, old jazzy music.

[@RichBshine1972]

This system looks incredible I've never seen anything like this must sound amazing

[@jrcimini]

This sound system is a work of art.

[@CompactPlay]

i'd like to hear this song on that sound system- Quba & Joanne - Hai Ca Se Poate/Quba - From Romania

[@dancorlateanu2214]

haha

[@NocturnalX7]

Jenant

[@jackf498]

oh no, i dont see anything for treating the air that the sound travels through. the changing pressure waves and ions are effecting the sound .....iv got an idea,go to home depot and get one of those air treatment boxes and resell it as an audiophile gizmo for 100 times the price .....also cut the power cord off, re-sleeve it and sell it separate for $1000.........lol

[@arthurnoxon4283]

See all those cylinders around the perimeter.......That's the acoustic complment to the setup.. The setup erases the acoustic signature of the bare listening room and simultaneously replaces it with a neutral, expansive ambient acoustic presence . TubeTraps are broadband bass traps with built-in adjustable treble absorption/diffusion Art Noxon, ASC TubeTraps

[@mikek1635]

My iPad improved the sound of this system a lot. I literally hear the voice in the middle of my screen. The 2D effect is amazing.

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

Very nice!

[@HappyPappynKatyTX]

Awesome system. I love to watch expensive, very high quality turntables with 2000 stylus, spinning with no record. Probably do not want to get the stylus dusty

[@PHANTOMJ86]

300k worth of sound,all to hear 1 instrument

[@BrodeyDoverosx]

lol. That's a greate statement. I think the instrument and classes to play it are certainly less than 300 000$.

[@WMax-rm3ue]

I will just pay the band and go directly to concert hall

[@PetFlyss]

300k would get you the speakers and a ford pickup to haul them home in.

[@TheGermanExpert]

Excellent music system. I personally would like to congratulate you on your acquisition and sharing with us this tremendous equipment. All for the love of music.

[@andrewford80]

Man, I would love to hear this.

[@lasertuber]

Why are the wires held off the floor like that ? Please don't say that it contributes to audio quality or my brain is going to explode.

[@DickonThompson]

Basically to reduce vibrations to the interconnects from the floor. Pretty sure it's nothing to do with heat.

[@airguntherapy8665]

Just a gimmick for show. If anyone says different they are talking shit.

[@DickonThompson]

And walking around, and washing machines, traffic etc. Not saying it's a definite 'fix', but there are some companies out there making money selling these to others... (!)

[@dynacoA25]

guess it's a no smoking room

[@techhouse9002]

it's so that the woodlice get the "walking under pylons" vibe

[@andydavidson7595]

It gets to the point where the music becomes second base-these guys need to stop spending and start listening in the real world-obscene amounts of money spent!!!!!!

[@larrybenjamin6528]

andy davidson Please enlighten us. At what point should we stop spend money on a stereo? You seem to know all the answers, not only for yourself but for everyone else. By "real world" I assume you're referring to live music. What percentage of everyone's music listening should be live? I really need to know in order to subjugate my personal preferences to align with your sagely advice.

[@bighands69]

+Larry Benjamin For the vast majority of people $1000 is more than enough. Unless the system is intended for an audience in a large auditorium/theatre all that equipment and power/regulation is just unnecessary. I am sure the system sound amazing but so can a $1000 system in a room that size.

[@larrybenjamin6528]

+bighands69 Yes sir, you are absolutely right - a $1000 system is really more than any mere mortal deserves, especially with all the starving children in Ethiopia [no TV until you eat your broccoli]. Personally, I think you’ve understated your point. $1000 will buy two really nice boom boxes. For a LOT less money, this fool in the video could have had a stereo in his bathroom AND his bedroom (with a built-in alarm clock). How cool is that! And if you could please direct all these idiot audiophiles as to what live concerts they should attend, it would be much appreciated. We need more culturally enlightened trolls such as yourself to help in setting our priorities straight since we have no idea how to spend our own money. We keep falling for these shameless, sleazy companies that offer expensive cables and power conditioners. It’s all snake oil. Rock on, dude!

[@JaneDelawneysGarden]

...just a hint of sarcasm? ;)

[@SebastianMeikle]

Now, turn up the volume to 100% and play Deception by Noisia XD

[@beyondonethousand]

I don't understand why so many people are throwing negative comments on this guy and his system. Face it people this guy is absolutely loaded and is spending (or throwing) his own money how he chooses. I am sure he can afford his system easier than the rest of us can afford our plastic-built made in China consumer big box products. If I has that much money I wouldn't spend that much on a system BUT that's not me, that's him and actually I don't have his money anyway.

[@LowEnd31st]

Never seen so much "black magic" of audio in one room... wires lifted off the ground, LOL. Whatever makes you feel better! Hillarious! Im sure it sounds great though

[@MrRugDoctor78]

You can totally tell as he's describing each component that he has no real idea what anything is. He sounds like he is reciting back the same info that was recited to him by his installer just before the installer bend him over his diamond studded turntable and took him from behind.

[@PetFlyss]

MrRugDoctor78 oh please he writes for 6moons he's constantly being challenged. he knows what he has.

[@enchibla]

the voodoo is deep with this guy

[@b1zzler]

A lot of the "voodoo" stuff is legit, and there's no reliable way of discerning what's legit and what's not. A bunch of features that yield tiny, basically imperceptible differences in sound quality add up to a large difference in sound quality. So if you've got buckets of cash and want the best sound you can possibly get, you get the best results with a "when in doubt, do it" mentality.

[@lowfirepierce]

Those Tenor monoblocks are gooooorgeous.

[@realaudioreviews]

Placebo effects everywhere.

[@charlesmcboy445]

You should go to Germany to see what they are doing over there ! I don't understand why this people spend so much money and are not able to show their results with complex music piece like tchaikovsky's 1821 or a good piece of rock by Led Zep. But always they "Show off" with a simple voice tune .

[@motorcitydeadman]

I wouldn't say world's greatest. There is no world's greatest. I could go into this room and think the sound is no big deal. As could anyone else.

[@freedoomusic6799]

It all comes down to the individual and his/hers passion for sound and level of hearing.

[@motorcitydeadman]

Exactly. :D

[@mrzisme]

It would sound like the cleanest personal concert you ever heard. It's outrageous the lengths he went to get it, but you wouldn't walk in there and think "no big deal". As you sit here playing a compressed streaming video over your computer speakers or headphones shaking your head, you have to realize how different that room sound actually is.

[@VoltLover00]

mrzisme I'd bring spectrum analyzer and calibrated microphone and prove its nothing special.

[@motorcitydeadman]

ouch

[@milton1448]

Dumb question but what are the weights sitting on top for?

[@dynacoA25]

lmao wow the speakers look insane

[@luck5492]

The critical issue here is that there are limits to sound reproduction, there is a point where items are purchased based on theoretical and probably inaudible gains for the extra 100th of a percent, full of gimmicks and tricks (as mentioned) or to show off to friends aka the snob factor. Investment aside, and budget aside I would not want this system in particular and would far sooner go for a high efficiency full range driver and tube amp combination, which to me sounds way better! This is not about envy, on the contrary, it is about drawing a line between sanity and insanity and understanding that there are limits, and at the high-fidelity limit it is then about direction and tonal characteristics which are a matter of taste. One has to feel sorry for this chap at the end of the day, two good heavy books can flatten a record and a good brush can be used to clean your LPs, there is so much snake oil in that room, it just feels like a great salesman has totally ripped this guy off...

[@joeo.8034]

MrRugDoctor78 Actually I shoot 4K for a living so yes it does exist and is available. And you actually get your bang for your buck with visual systems because seeing is believing. Hearing is what you WANT to hear, your brain handles hearing very different than your sense of vision. Your ears are lied to much easier.

[@aritragoswami]

what is the soundtrack in the background? that interests me more :)

[@AVequipmentReviews]

Aritra Goswami Music by MA Recordings

[@goblinondrums]

***** yeah but whats the song? if you know... I like it too lol

[@aritragoswami]

yeah it would be great

[@kgPFC034]

+Aritra Goswami I think it's Vlatko Stefanovski & Miroslav Tadic live in Belgrade, great concert!

[@aritragoswami]

Yess...thank you for letting me know...amazing piece

[@bernardmahoney6684]

incredible sound quality .

Impressive system. May I ask why you chose Wilson Audio as your choice of loudspeaker?

[@jgvtc559]

My biggest question is are those amps and if so how much power do those speakers need those boxes are like extremely expensive and he had like 20 of em

[@mrhoffame]

100% correct my friend. I went to one of the North American Shows this past weekend in Chicago. The three best systems that appealed to my ears were a $9K one, a $65k one, and a $40k one. Considering there were ones there that ran well over 200k It was really cool to experience.

See what happens when you don't study science in high school?

[@sk81591]

you should put some house music

[@offramp100]

I'm almost afraid to ask but whats with the metal "pucks" sitting on top of the gear, and what looks like bits of bent paperclip wire hanging out in the air here and there?

[@jlo6388]

Those are platinum bricks shat out by the owner.

[@canadianwildlifeservice8883]

How long does it take to break in those elevated speaker cables?

Apparently all he listens to is gangsta rap music.

Some weird power cable and power box thing to "make sure there is no limiting of the current" yet it uses normal power plugs, and the wiring in his house will be the standard shit in every other house. And he has this fancy speaker cable and sits it on bridges, I'd love to see the wire they use inside the speakers themselves, or even the traces on the circuit board in the amp. A demagnetizer for records? He does realize they are made of plastic and it's not going to do anything... If I removes static then fair enough, will help stop dust from clinging to them. "Apple based digitizer" why does it matter what brand computer he uses to digitize his records? Also is that all that mac pro is used for? What a waste. Someone who falls for the BS people people spin about cables and stuff doesn't do reviews worth reading imo. Also, pretty lame song to test it out on. Just vocal and piano, put on some classical or jazz. I do however approve of a dedicated room.

[@Bobg425]

There arnt normal power plugs he tells you at the beginning,hes got a 'wall system' fitted that powers the whole room.

[@VoltLover00]

john g None of that will stabilize the power like a good line conditioner

[@bassl0va]

john g It still doesn't make a difference.

[@labdrive]

bassl0va Exactly.

[@creepcatcher890]

bassl0va you're a fucktard that shouldn't talk about things you have no fucking clue about!

[@tahut1]

What song is the guitar from playing in the background?

[@cosminmoldovan3526]

why are the speaker cables on those things? just so they look nicer on the ground or what?

[@coveyholland3007]

definitely can't let cables touch the ground, totally ruins the sound.

[@WMax-rm3ue]

definitely can hear the noise, LOL

It would be curious to find out how many times since this video was posted, how much of the equipment has been sold and replaced. What is reviewed by today's “experts” as “the best” . . . is next month's passé has been. It is sheer lunacy to try to keep up, and for the average man -- absolute bankruptcy. Unfortunately, I think many (not all) treat audio equipment like fashion with designer labels . . . not only do they generally go out of style quickly, but it is amazing how many status seekers derive their personal self-esteem from owning it. I think many, again not all, to be quite intolerably pretentious.

[@bernardmahoney6684]
