This is truly an insane setup, that's essentially like a $200k turntable. You can get a pretty awesome setup (by most standards) for the cost of his backup cartridge.

@AdamsOlympia 2 ай бұрын

You can get an amazing sounding system for little over 1 grand. Very happy with my SVS Micro 3000 sub, KEF q150 speakers driven by Fosi ZA3 amp. Once I upgrade to Kef R3 Metas and a second sub, it'll probably be 99% of the sound quality of this system for only 4 grand.

I don't know if it's the recording or the room but I'm hearing some major resonances that just shouldn't be there in a system that costs a million bucks. I'd be willing to place a wager that it wouldn't be hard to find a $100k system that sounds better and a $25k system that gets you 95 percent of the way there.

Many people use the excuse that you can't get the full impression unless you were are in person. Well, I just listened to an open-air recording of a system that probably costs, I'd estimate 3 to $5,000 right here on KZfaq. And I believe the guy was recording off of his phone it sounded 100 times better... So...hmmm..

@matthewrroda 4 жыл бұрын

Sorry this is so old and I'm replying anyway, but I was feeling like this sounded awful while listening, like it was an accurate recreation of the instruments, but it was playing in the next room. Ignoring the quality of the binaural recording setup, because I don't have personal experience with it, the microphones were placed over 20 feet away from the speakers. There is no system that sounds like $1M, but I'd be willing to be this one sounds much better than the current representation if you were sat in the proper sweet spot, let alone being there in person. But ya regardless of how good this sounds, $100k can get you the exact same sound. The technology in the tonearm on that turntable is super cool, though.

As an old stereo salesman, what I appreciate most here is a young woman who has the passion and desire and absolute knowledge to have a channel such as this. Your presentation is wonderful and the music delightful. I tested 3 sets of earphones on this demo and (understanding the internet system) found that no single one gave me everything in detail, but if I could combine 2 at the same time I would be happy... actually I'm happy now with those I have and they are not budget breakers...

Everyone that has some background in professional sound knows that those kind of systems are just snake oil. You can get objectively the same or even better sound at a fraction of the budget. Yeah, good sound costs money, but not this kind of money. Also keep in mind that the sound being reproduced cannot be better than what went into the recording. Also, the sound being reproduced is highly dependent on the room you're listening in. No recording studio will ever spend equal amounts on their equipment, because they're usually professionals and they know what gets the job done and what's just audiophile snake oil.

The owner of this equipment is apparently about 50-60 years old. And at this age, each person's hearing sensitivity drops by 2-3 kilohertz!!! The frequency range that distinguishes the human ear at this age is about the same as what can be recorded on an ordinary compact cassette from the last century and played it on a cheap Sony Walkman cassette player !!! It is impossible not to agree with this. Arguing with the physiology of the human body is like arguing with your age and the limited time of your life! So... The owner of this expensive equipment perceives sound more visually (admiring his investment in super hi-fi-fetishes) and kinesthetically (stroking the mahogany lacquer of his acoustic systems with his fingers)!!! A million dollars... How many hungry and homeless people could be fed... Everything that he shows us here - he should not brag about it, but be ashamed of it!!! Ashamed of his greed and ashamed of his selfishness!!! In addition, each of the viewers of this video will agree that there are hungry and homeless people in the country of this rich man who built himself an audio crypt for a million dollars... Everything we see in this room is just expensive toys of a stupid child who has not grown up in his 50-60 years...

@RC-qu8xg 4 жыл бұрын

@@urwholefamilydied Imo a good binaural recording can capture to some extent a hi fi system like this to perhaps 80-90%. It depends alot on the mics and recorder being used. The unique way of recording like this is that you get to experience the position of the speakers and the acoustics of the room. Once the sound gets compressed and you listen through headphones a lot of the hi fi gets lost. So listening through an uncompressed file is best. Listening through HQ studio headphone monitors will give the best representation of what was recorded. Having that said this recording needs some improvements. Recording in HD is another technical field in of itself.

I enjoyed this so much I watched a second time. First I want to commend Jana for producing the best demonstration video on KZfaq. Not just because it's an excellent system and an expensive one. She took the time to explain the design goals. She did her best to capture the sound. (not possible but this was good) And she made it visually engaging while conveying all the essential facts of the room. I really appreciate the approach to this system. I build my own systems, and many of the design considerations resonate. I like the idea of no caps in the signal path. Only transformers and tubes. I build OTL amps to even eliminate the output transformer. I use minimalist first order crossovers and even wind my own resistors using manganin wire for resistors in the signal path. Today I use open baffle speakers, but would love to go down the horn rabbit hole using custom engineered solid wood horns. I would love to hear this system in person. I thank the owner and Jana for sharing it with us.

I tried to listen to a million dollar system with $10.00 headphones of coarse it's not going to sound good. I bet it sounds awesome in real life.

@deivybueno9959 4 жыл бұрын

yes, exactly like any other that cost 20% of that price. People always forget that our ears are not prepared for a big range of sounds. I dont want to sound stupid but im a musician and i have constructed sound systems also before. Dont misunderstand my words please, i know it sound amazing but for me that price is only stupid!!!! Is very easy to have any audio to sounf very good is you prepare a whole room acoustically.

I'm surprised a one million dollar system would have a simple back loaded horn for bass? I wonder how these would sound with more difficult tracks that have a lot more going on like a full orchestra or something. Sounded great for the sparse small ensemble pieces. Anyway, I admire the passion of someone building a system like this. Keep up the videos.

@portlavacaboy Жыл бұрын

So you've heard this system in person? That's the only way to judge the quality of a stereo, of course. KZfaq audio is so compressed, I've found that it's almost impossible to know how good or bad anything really sounds. Just sayin'.

@SpencersStuffTV 2 жыл бұрын

@@1sotheary alot of women day to day don't care about home theater/audio. It's a generalization but there isn't anything strange about it. This disparity is largely shown in the KZfaq audio community as well, with it being mostly men. The only channel I have seen consistently give advice is Andrew Robinson and his wife that gives a woman's perspective. Frankly it stinks, I think men and women can perceive sound differently, so I'd love to get more input.

@@1sotheary The owner of this equipment is apparently about 50-60 years old. And at this age, each person's hearing sensitivity drops by 2-3 kilohertz!!! The frequency range that distinguishes the human ear at this age is about the same as what can be recorded on an ordinary compact cassette from the last century and played it on a cheap Sony Walkman cassette player !!! It is impossible not to agree with this. Arguing with the physiology of the human body is like arguing with your age and the limited time of your life! So... The owner of this expensive equipment perceives sound more visually (admiring his investment in super hi-fi-fetishes) and kinesthetically (stroking the mahogany lacquer of his acoustic systems with his fingers)!!! A million dollars... How many hungry and homeless people could be fed... Everything that he shows us here - he should not brag about it, but be ashamed of it!!! Ashamed of his greed and ashamed of his selfishness!!! In addition, each of the viewers of this video will agree that there are hungry and homeless people in the country of this rich man who built himself an audio crypt for a million dollars... Everything we see in this room is just expensive toys of a stupid child who has not grown up in his 50-60 years...

@M G My system is a Sony HAPZ1ES media player with all ALAC formatted music piped through an ifi Micro iTube 2 in buffer set up, feeding it's signals to a Vincent SV 237MK hybrid integrated amp. Speakers are bi wired Klipsch Cornwall lll's with Kord Koncepts 10 guage on the LF and 16 Guage on the HF. Interconnects are Pangea Audio Premier SE's. I have reached my "audio nirvana" with this setup and have no desire to experiment further, other than maybe some tube rolling on the Vincent. I am currently running with the stock 6N1PEV tubes and have replaced the stock 12AX7 with a Gold Lion Premium tube.

That filming on the system was one of the best filming I've seen, even comparing to those outside this topic. Great work, congratulations

Spectacular. Great job presenting the system, the sound, the space, and adding a lot of interesting information. When you label everything and also present the distances, I appreciate that. The super-expensive systems are important in the audiophile industry because the advancements and innovations that begin there eventually make their way down to the gear the rest of us can afford, making it better and better.

Firstly, great presentation, thank you so much, and good to see a lovely young lady with intelligence, passion, aspiration AND humility; you were one of the highlights of the video. I have to say that the video made me happy in an unexpected way... As you advised, I listened through some (in my opinion) excellent 20 year old MB Quart 95X headphones, then I did the same again through my B&W CDM1 SE speakers of a similar age, and I can see no reason why I would need to spend anywhere near $1m dollars (if I had it!) to enjoy listening to music. I wonder what "You And Your Friend" or "Telegraph Road" (Dire Straits), or "Midnight Blues" (Snowy White), or "Happiness Is Easy" (Mark Hollis / Talk Talk) might sound like via what is to me an incredible work of art, a showcase of just what we can actually achieve through 'imagineering', and with such beautiful form too (although I think my grandfather would have seen a 'space-ship' as opposed to an esoteric, high-end music delivery system! 😄) If I had $1m to spend on a system like that, then maybe I would simply because I could, and I love music. I'm happy for the guy that has, but I'm even happier for myself now knowing that I'm not really missing-out on something that isn't realistically attainable to me, and there is tremendous value in knowing that alone. I would also hate to think that I would start listening critically to the equipment instead of enjoying the music, which I'm afraid is where I'm sure it would all end up for me, and that would be such a loss. No, I am now at peace with my system - thank you (although I'm sure that B&W ASW610 sub-woofer wouldn't go amiss...), so again, thank you for a great presentation, it has been both enlightening, and a pleasure to view! 🙂👍🙏
