This is Reealy Speccial, The Sound of Music !

Great sounding systems, but, alas.. only a dream for the average man. Don't have the money or space for such extravagance, however... over many years in this 'circuit' of buying and selling mostly used equipment,\ I managed to end up with a great sounding setup that is giving me many hours of pleasure. One should never forget that it is the music that ''connects'' with us, not the equipment. Thanks for making the effort to present to us these exotic systems, they do sound great even through KZfaq and the little Class D amplifier attached to my computer.

Im crying and smiling at the same time, what a beautiful sound... Im an audiophile and this is so peacefull...

This is one of the best sound from a system I've heard on KZfaq.

As someone just learning about higher-end audio (by no means an audiophile) but I could not understand what had happened to music over the past 20ish year. The only explanation I could describe was that it was flat. I stopped in at a local higher-end retailer and I was ever educated. I did not know anything about the "loudness war" and how audio mixing has really changed "dynamic range" yet another term that I was introduced to. I was completely blown away by how a decent set of speakers, driven with good quality power, and a non-compressed file could sound like. I've found a new passion; ordered a NAD amp, Focal speakers, can't wait for the install and to continue to explore music as it was intended to be.

Awesome sound. Maybe better than the real thing. I never heard the string bass played so live like this. This is the most crystal-clear sound ever on KZfaq. Pls do more of these audiophile videos.

I’m not an audiophile, but I do love music!!! The sound I heard from this video is very impressive!!! ☮️🖖🏽

'Audiophile' demo CD's are always crisp sparse recordings that are always just going to sound great. This why when you demo speakers it should be with music you actually listen to rather than some over engineered recording the saleman puts on. 'oh i can her the fingers on the strings', well of course you can, it's been selected precisely because you can.

Night....a little lamp...some drink and this Music! Thank you KZfaq!

Einfach fantastisch, ein phänomenaler Sound! Mehr gibt es nicht zu sagen.

The ears are so special to listen with! the sounds reproduced are immaculate! Colors of the rainbow when reproduced correctly! Thanks for this experience from You!

I lived in Hong Kong for 3 years and loved the Chinese music, good to hear it playing again.

nice to see so many audiophiles listening to and admiring AAC lossy audio at average bitrate of 150 kbps :-)

Easy listening, superb quality music, very detail and layering music is incredible. I like very much thank for sharing

I’m an audiophile listening to this on my iPhone in a solo cup. The world needs to know about this.

Thank you for the upload. 8:08: Dear viewer, there is a popping sound in the video, so do not worry, your audio system is OK.

"Instrumental" ist immer am Einfachsten für eine Stereoanlage. Stimmen und Aufnahmen geben für mich "Wirklichkeit".

This is how it should be ,,!! perfect music,sound

Sopra 2 with right power are amazing how sweet it is

Still sound awesome even on my Bowers & Wilkins head phone! 💯

Listening on some £30 cheap wireless in ear ear phones and this music sound excellent quality 👌

There have been many good comments and I'll summarize a few that I agree with and add my own little bit. My work involves lots of live sound of a variety of genres. I don't consider myself an audiophile and, while we have some good recording/monitoring systems in various venues at my work, I certainly don't have an "audiophile" caliber system at home. But, I do know a bit about music, computers, A/D conversion, bit rates, compression, FFMpeg, etc. Yes, there are issues with noise and dropouts in this video but there are still many good things here and it would be nice if an updated audio track without these annoyances could be posted. The sample rates and bit depth that KZfaq supports are not true HQ or HD or whatever other name you like to assign to higher quality recordings but this video using the Opus Codec (at 48KHz x 32 bit) is way better than the typical Spotify, iTunes, and Amazon, etc. online sources and their optimized for streaming content and it's also better than many KZfaq videos. It would be nice if KZfaq supported FLAC or another lossless codec but, since more people listen to music on KZfaq than just about any other service, i don't fault the poster for posting this here using the best audio quality that KZfaq supports. The use of the term "HQ sound" IS a bit much but, since there's no trademark on that term, it is what it is. For those who have experience, please recommend some entry level DACs, headphones, speakers, amps etc that might help those of us with low/modest means to find a better listening experinece. Similarly, where do you get your higher quality content? The comments about Michael Jackson etc are extremely helpful to those who are just getting into this. Don't like MJ? Share something about recordings that you do like. Do you like High Definition on iTunes or Amazon? Let us know or steer us somewhere you like better. Finally, my own comments on the first piece in this video, a cover of Sting's "Fragile" by Primrose Path. Overall I definitely like Sting's version better just because, well, it's Sting, he wrote it and it would be difficult for anyone to equal or surpass his performance and interpretation of this piece because he's just an amazing writer and performer. It's been one of my favorite Sting pieces since I purchased the CD over 30 years ago. I especially like his voice and the tempo that he set better than the much slower pace of the Primrose Path cover presented here. But there are many things I like about the Primrose Path version, especially as a piece to demo an audio system. The Sting recording has more of a "produced" feel and the use of reverb sort of muddles things more than I like. The Primrose Path version has a more acoustic feel, even though the harp is electronic vs. Sting's acoustic guitar. I like the vocalist's voice and interpretation and I think the recording engineer(s) did a very good job with the mic of capturing his voice as well as the other instruments. I also like how I can place the instruments left to right and front to back in the Primrose Path version, especially when listening on speakers. On headphones however, everything in this piece sounds to me like it's spread left to right in the middle of my head so I don't think there was much room ambience in the original recording or added in post production. I would encourage any of you who listen primarily on headphones to try to find even a modest room/speaker environment, put yourself right in the best spot in the room, close your eyes, and listen to this piece trying to place the various objects in space. I hear the voice just right of center, the harp spread across the whole space but just left of center with the drums/percussion behind. Overall, I like it very much and it's easy to see why the poster put this piece first in the set. It may not tax every aspect of your audiophile system, but I still think it's a great piece to listen to and have probably listened to it 40 or 50 times since I found this. It sounds terrible on the system in my car but, it sounds pretty good to me just about everywhere I've listened.

Listening with any systems is beautiful sound..

suara sound begitu jernih, Luar biasa

I really fall in love with the first melody!

I just upgraded my downgrade. Well i have never had equipment like what you all have. I went from a decent nad receiver with difintives and theils for surrounds. I couldn't use them in my temporary housing. So i purchased some edifier air pulse speakers. Really thought i was going to hate them. But I must say for what i spent i am blown away. I know nothing like what you folks have but best a poor man can do lol.

AN INCREDIBLE SYSTEM WE CAN ONLY DREAM OF!!

Every high end audio audition I hear play the most boring music on huge speakers capable of so much more.... MJ's Off The Wall or Paul Weller Stanley Road, both top notch production that shows you what a system can really do!

Just, the state of the art... No more words....

เคื่องเสียงชุดนี้ ยอดเยี่ยมมาก

Thank you. Awesome music. Awesome quality. Listened on my 5.1 Bose double cubes, Denon 150 watt output amplifier and JBL powered subwoofer. It was a treat. I am no audiophile but love good music. Best regards.

Just listening with my Sony Sound bar HTS 350 ..great music

What a system,,music is so clear, ah that is nice

Impianto stupendo adatto per ogni audiofilo. 😂😂😂

One observation, all these tracks showcase natural instruments recorded from microphones and mixed to have pleasing tonal qualities which are easily reproducible by nice speakers, but certainly don’t require an audiophile grade system. A fantastic recording studio and engineer can produce this “audiophile grade” recording, but let’s not confuse that with “audiophile grade speakers”. I quote that because defining that empirically is not possible in a YT comment. I feel that it’s probably more difficult for a system to reproduce dynamic and artificial sounds that are conceived in a pure digital form. In this scenario the burden of reproducing a purely digital source with such huge dynamic range and bandwidth is placed upon the speakers which stress their design to reproduce a sound which may not even be possible in air. The demands that heavy bass and detailed treble while also preserving the delicate midrange is somewhat more difficult in my opinion. Beautiful music none-the-less.

This is KZfaq. You are not able to reproduce the original sound quality. A picture of a high-end device doesn't improve your System... But have fun with it anyway 😆

This sounds great on my KLIPSCH RF-7 III 🔊🔊🎶. Thank you for sharing this great compilation of music 🎶...

Nhạc hay, bạn mở phỏng dàn âm thanh quá đỉnh

AMAZING SYSTEM SOUND REAL GOOD OF MUSIC SOUL

ONE STEP FROM PERFECTION

This sounds so good on my cheap headphones ;)

This is great, I don't have to spend $100,000 on a high end system, I can experience everything on KZfaq, (face slap).

Best audiophile test ever! Testing my Antelope Audio Discrete 4 with ADAM A7X Monitors and sounds terrific. Absolutely amaing.

Wonderful aidiophile.. ❤️❤️❤️ 💪💪💪

Love it to listen to music such like this with my beyerdynmics

high end and high prices.. also , some of those speakers are gigantic !!. they don't fit in most apartments or even houses. makes me wonder who buys these things ??????!!. thanks for sharing.

Another nice compilation for me. 👍 Just go through some of the comment, for those who don't like, maybe it is not up to your expected, but is not worst or bad. Please just walk away if you are unlike, don't reply negative comment, feeling unfair for the effort. 😊

hi, in the 06:47 you hear a digital sound the rest of the time is a spectacular music. Thank you very much.-

Amigos Excelente musica definitivamente para tus oidos no w pide más gratis music regards

Wah enak banget suaranya

Wow! My Quart 95X headphones from the last millennium just came to life!!

Very nice interpreting various uses for diff speakers... better adding map of speakers for surrounding effects

Great Music.

High end has become how well you can hear every bit and byte.

It is nice.. I`m glad I`m a audiophile too Nothing like the sun is a digital recording, on vinyl, and sounds so good.

2 Bose Revolve plus in “party mode” awesome 👏

It is lovely song on the beautiful system

Tutto questo impianto per spendere i soldi di un appartamento!! Quando bastavano: Una coppia di electtovoice amplificate con dsp + i loro sub ..+ un buon dac ed un buon pc!! Troppi commercianti furbi in cerca di polli in giro!!!

声质很好！高中底都全，是试机的好来源。谢谢！

Beautiful music, thanks for the upload on KZfaq ✊.

I have thousands of CDs and some of the best recordings are those of Michael Jackson. Reference Recordings are also excellent.

오디오를 아는 사람들은 역시 CD로 음악 감상 역시 👍 굿

Many thanks for sharing

Wov superb quality music..

Эстетика во всём, от дизайна до качества звучания.

Живут же люди ? Такая супер аппаратура в России гражданину страны даже во сне не приснится ! СЛАВА КРЕМЛЁВСКОЙ МОЛИ , УКРАВШЕМУ У ГРАЖДАН РОССИИ ЖИЗНЬ !

Sounds OK over the internet and KZfaq

If the recording bad i ain't playing it, even if its a song i like, that what this game is about. Nice sounds.. i like the music your playing its chilling me out. we can enjoy those bad recordings in the car .

Listening on my monitor audios MA1’s beautiful sound....

Money does matter for this 🤩

Goodsound sharing this over internet of thought with my controlers using high end brain tech Greetings from andre rijnveld рейнвельд

Wow my $150 soundbar sounds amazing 😂

By the time you already have for example the most expensive focals speakers (Grande Utopia EVO) and all set up with equally expensive dual mono amp setup and tube etc etc…this would sound incredibly good even though I’ve seen comments here saying how good it sounds on Bluetooth speakers, can we juss forget about KZfaq compression rate and crank up the volume an enjoy…..🤗

Потрясающе красиво звучит!! Салам из Кыргызстана 🇰🇬

супер саунд спасибо

20:00 great drumming sound

The little pops at in the songs really freaked me out until I realized it’s in the track. Example 8:09

MC Culture 811.A mono amps, MC Culture 611 Preamp and MC Culture MC-501a CD player. The Designer at MC Culture was the M at MBL. Mr Meletzky

bagus sekali suara musicnya

Stereos have become machines.

Just testing my new Final audio ze3000’s and it sounds pretty darn good for the $$.

Good

Here's a summary of KZfaq's audio quality history.2019 also only 128kbps.Spotivy has 320 kbps. Early 2016 to now (mid-2016) : 128kbps mid-2013 - early 2016 : 256kbps mid-2012 to mid-2013 : 192kbps mid-2011 to mid-2012 : 152 kbps prior to mid-2011 : 128 kbps

Le Beau existe encore.
