Its so cool (for me I'm 33) to meet guys like this because none of my peers know or care about stuff like this until I invite them over to share what "Hi-Fi" is. I'm a hardware store manager and I met a dude just like David and its awesome to cut up about gear, records, stories and so on. Hes always excited to see me and loan me gear or records and in turn I do the same with the younger guys at work. Since most of this community is in the "older age" bracket I hope we are all doing our part in sharing this hoddy with us younger people whenever we can you never know what you may say that will stick with or change someone for the rest of their lives. Thanks for all your work Mr. Guttenberg we all appreciate you!

I like this guy. No need to cut it short; I could listen to him talk about his views on audio for at least an hour, easy. 👍

A great interview with a great guy. A true audiophile, who is a specialist in the labels he likes. David has a very honest and direct approach which I appreciate.

David will be back for more!

Love it!!! Keep bringing these in-home audiophile interviews. Love seeing other people’s setups and hearing their points of view.

I love these interviews! Thanks for posting.

What a wonderful conversation between two knowledgeble gentleman! Thank you for this best Steve and God bless you!

A simply excellent interview, Steve. I could listen to David for hours.

David Nemzer is a beautiful sincere gentleman, a consummate lover of music and one who is very knowledgeable about classical music recorded on LPs!

Excellent! I love, and truly appreciate these segments!

I'll never not love these types of videos. David seems like someone I'd love to sit and listen to music with.

This is a great story Steve. Thank you for the post.

The music always come first. Truer words never spoken. It's fun to love gear. I love gear. Music that sounds good (subjective) is beautiful. Hi David! Ups for Social Workers!

Steve, it's great that you're showing the systems of real people and helping expose the personalities and motivations of those people who have loved this hobby (audiophilia) and music for so long. Thank you for doing that!

Great David! A real music lover and also an audiophile man. Home to listen again about his system and a short video just to taste the sound! Great job!

What a way to shut down a wise and experienced audiophile right as he starts speaking honestly about reviewers. I'd like to see more of him and his honesty, without getting cut off.

I like this guys attitude towards reviews

Love David ... True audiophile 👍

Thanks for the excellent interview and to your engaging guest.

Great stuff!! The music comes first. The best interview thus far. More, more,more.😊😊

Enjoyed listening to David's story and love of music.

This guy is incredible!!! Thanks for sharing Steve .... David, what a legend!

Great video, really enjoy seeing people's home stereo's.

This guy is the truth! I really enjoy his thought process here👍🏾

Woohoo! A fellow audiophile social worker! We dedicate our lives to helping others and none of us can afford new equipment! Oh well, at least our hearts are rich.

This gentleman is tremendous. More please.

I love this review for so many reasons....This guy is a pro.

Thank you Steve. Awesome, informative and so true. I miss AHC reviews.

Steve - Simply awesome :-) All the joys of audiophilia in this fascinating interview with David . . . "it's the journey that counts". Revisiting the hardware, recordings and people is one of those inherent joys of our passion. P.S. 'Don't touch the turntable' - I'm good; the VPI Avenger makes a stunning visual statement.

Hello David, you are right in every aspect. Respect and regards from Finland.

Really cool interview, Steve! I really enjoyed what David had to say! Thanks for doing this video! One question I have always wondered about was why audiophiles back in the early 70's were young people in their early to mid twenties and now, it seems like audiophiles, in large degree, are the same people, 40 years later. David, put out a very viable reason why. Steve, I could easily listen to David for an hour. Very interesting guy! Great interview!!

Lovely interview, more please. Terribly awkward ending, more please. 81dB mains, w/quad 18"s! What kind of sorcery is this? Badass, OG

This gentleman is wonderful.

love this guy.

Excellent interview Steve that really held my interest greatly. I only wish you hadn't ended it when you did. I do hope there is a Part II interview with David! Thanks.

i am not an audiophile but a music lover and i really enjoy David's conversation!

Great video Steve! Yes, I hope David will be back for more!

Wow. This David fellow is the REAL deal in my opinion. I’d be interested in what he listens to and has been collecting. Thanks for having him on Steve.

What a cool person. Thanks for the video.

Excellent episode. Thanks.

Can we have more of this guy Steve? I like him. 👍

Yes, great guy, awkward ending.

I was born to love this no one gor me into it i have bin craving this ever since i was a lil kid always putting something together to make sound and its awesome i dont know how some people can live without stereo being a part of their life

Enjoyed the interview very nice set up thanks

would be nice in those videos that you write in description the name of the speakers that we are shown.

I love this guy, he tells it like it is. How to look at the different audio reviews before leaning into them. Love a great sounding recording. Yes, I do check out the different labels knowing that they are well recorded, it could be any kind of music. I should check out my neighborhood for the closest clubs??? Thanks, This guys great!

Loved hearing that the music came first / is more important than the boxes. Not true of several audiophiles I know who know relatively little about music. They listen to their systems with a little music vs.the other way around.

I could listen to this guy all day, reminds me of the good old days of Julian Hirsch and Stereo Review.

Many of the best things about being an audiophile on show here.

Keep these interviews coming forever. Would be nice to have interviews end with you and the system owner listening to part of a track.

This guy rocks!

Love the tubes being mantle pieces :D

I like this guy.

Mr.Steve,this is a great video but I'd like to see a more detailed system presentation and a small room tour in the future videos.Thank you!

David is the real deal. He knows what he likes and why he likes it.

Hey David, great interview!

These videos are so good.

I used to remember when reps from companies used to give us samples to review and evaluate. My staff would set up a system and we would listen together and discuss the item. Then I would decide how many I wanted to order. The rep often left cartridges as a perk.

Very enjoyable to listen to you David, thank you for sharing with us all. "we have to cut it short" hurt... David deserves better than that. I still love ya Steve.... but ouch....

awesome interview

Man, love the channel but that ending was awkward and a little demeaning

David is a great guy.

I think I'm the only audiophile living in Brooklyn that is not a member of the Audiophile Society, although I have met some people who are, and I've turned down a couple of invites. It seems Dave and I have some commonality in turntables since I too own a VPI Revenger Reference with the rim drive. We both also have an affection for past VPI turntables and tubes. However, I'd rather listen to RCA's than Mercury's and Decca's over EMI's any day. Dave shares the qualities of many audiophiles that collect labels, get together and talk about pressings, recording venues, engineers and the like. I really enjoy talking about music, musicians, bands, and orchestras. A lot of audiophiles have a limited number of records. I own close to 8000 over multiple genres. I've always found it difficult to relate to many typical audiophiles, hence my reticence in joining the Society. Nevertheless, I'm, glad to finally meet Dave third hand as it were, and it's good to see Dave is still active in the Society and that the Society is still thriving. I think perhaps the next invite I get I'll accept.

Any man who's into Conrad Johnson is alright with me. Keep it up sir, gentlemen like you make this hobby what it is, much respect ;)

This guy is great--I really like his attitude and knowledge. Too bad that youtube limited SG's time. Oh well, thanks for introducing us to another member of the audiophile community!

Steve, how did you like his set up? What does it sound like?

I would have enjoyed a part 2 and 3! What does he think about then industry, current products and how many listen to music now... where the industry is going?

Dam hes got the power man.

Great interview. I’m tilt toward being a label collector too. I honestly didn’t know that there was such a thing, until now. I’m constantly troll Linn. Reference Recordings Pantatone, Harmonia Mundi, Hyperion, ECM, Blue Note and a couple of others. I feel the same way about written reviews. My system cost very close to $40,000US but if I see reviews of speakers costing $100,000, or preamps costing $15,000, I just walk on by. More like this please.

Yeah! What a great personality David has. Would love to talk classical recordings with him over some great Belgian beer.

This guy had me captivated until I saw his little stands for all the power cords and cables.

Ah......my first 'real' system used Conrad-Johnson amps. Great stuff.

This is when talking about music is almost as fun as listenening. Maybe another interview with David?

Methinks a rare breed a forthright individual.

Ah yes, I remember reading about speakers like these many years ago. They are a line source as opposed to a point source like normal loudspeakers. If I recall correctly, even though they are inefficient, the sound pressure level doesn't decrease as much with distance, so they should sound louder at the same distance in the listening room.

I love the way “we” people in this hobby take “ it’s about the music” as a bragging right. Like a hot rod guy saying “it’s only about acceleration”.

Such interesting personalities

David made a couple of good points. Liked the interview. It would have been nice to see (and hear) his rig in action. I doubt that I will ever make it to Boston or even get an invitation from the club, so ...

So,what wattage does he use to pump into those speakers that he says are power hogs? They look very Infinity like.

Dave is a cool guy!!! He reminds me of James Bond.

This is a classic example of building a system that meets your personal needs. I couldn’t use it because I need a system that will play loud 100db plus at the listening position. He knows what he likes. Cool.

Wow, that's th kind of " tell it like is, pull no punches " guy I like 2 listen 2! It sux though, u can tell he's in pain an it's hard 4 him 2 get round! He has sooo much knowledge 2 share tho

nice video Steve

Looking forward to a encore episode!!! Music first!!! Alll my gear serves the music. If I had to I could listen on my childhood Mickey Mouse record player with the steel clamp in stylus and the 2 inch speaker. But luckily, I don't have to.

What is the third record label he speaks of? I'm not locating it. sounds interesting.

More, would of been better! Not the audio file I wish I were but love, love, love to listen to an expert. At 69 with only NAD , HarmonKardon T60C turntable and a set of MordauntShort Pagent3’s as my only setup since the mid 80’s. My love of the music, all music has endured. Thanks for your contribution.

pass this man a cup of tea asap

A little taste of their sound would be awesome, it's a shame you never do this on your channel!!

I remember Melos taking us to hear the Pipedreams at CES in 1999 or 2000 and it was a very odd listening session. One of the strangest demos ever.

The music comes first ... as a little kid, my first records were Xanadu soundtrack Mahavishnu Orchestra and Captian Beyond. Been chasing sound ever since.

How can I join the audiophile society?

I too am one who likes Anthony Cordesman and trust his reviews for the very reason stated in this video. Great video!

Steve, do you listen to the systems of the Audiophiles you feature?

Anyone know where Anthony Cordesman is writing reviews today? I liked him when he was with Stereophile.

Guys - I'm new to audiophile community. Can some one recommend me best floor standing speakers and power amp. I have shortlisted the Elac uni fi, PSB silver i (old), Pioneer atmos, Golden ear.. etc. Please suggest

Dam where did he get those from the 2001 space odyssey movie.

I like this guy. He is down to earth. modest and knowledgeable and definitely not an AUDIO SNOB. I would have liked more talk about his speaker system-- very strange. It makes you wonder-- does it actually work, what does it sound like? Based on this gentleman-- probably really good.

Yes! Used is the best

This reminds me of the PS Audio towers from Infiniti with the woofers cut off.

He’s my kind of guy
