You have a lovely home, and the built in cabinetry is so cool. I too, grew up with my parent's console. Great memories. Thank you for this video tour.

Melinda..I love that console..brings back memories of my own childhood home. I sure wish I still had my family console... great video...glen

Thanks for the tour, I love all your posters and accoutrements.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection with us

I've been waiting for this. I still love all your videos. Awesome post

Thank you for the tour! I absolutely dig the pull out drawers. A nice way to sift through your vinyl collection :)

As a music lover myself, I share your passion for for everything music & audio gear. You keep me inspired of your love for music vinyl in a world of downloads. Great vids, keep makin em. Popcorn and your vids goes great together. Thank you!.

Thanks for taking us on a tour. I really love how you store your records.

Thanks Melinda for this tour this shows that the most important thing is the music and the joy it brings !

Very nice! Absolutely love how you have the pull out bins for your vinyl! Peace and keep on spinning!

I’m a fairly recent subscriber to your channel, and just wanted to tell you how much l enjoy it! I’ve collected vinyl for over 50 years now, and truly appreciate what you’re doing!

Thanks for the tour! Very nice built-in bookshelves and love the old console stereo. We used to have one as well and I wish we still had it.

Cool tour. Loved those pull out bins my grandparents had a console like that. Had an 8 track player in it too. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing, Melinda. It brought back a lot of great memories for me. My family also had a Motorola console system, although it was a different model. It's long gone now, but I do have an even older Admiral console from the early 1950's that was passed down to my by my Uncle. Now that I'm retired, I'm gonna get it up and working again. I also really like your sliding storage. That's perfect!! ~Frank

Excelente Melinda, muito legal seu equipamento de som e obrigado por compartilhar.

Just discovered your channel and I am catching up on all your shows, really enjoying them. Love the music room (and your collection). Keep them coming Melinda, love from a fellow Van Halen fanatic in the UK.

Thank you for the tour, that Motorola console is beautiful.

Another great video, like the music room tour !! Been watching so many of everyones videos here in the vinyl community that just did my first video about some of the stereo systems had over the years, and the new stereo I've been putting together the last couple of years as find myself getting back into vinyl again. ..... Always loved albums, and happy to see them this popular again !!!

Am loving your cabinetry....brilliant !

Thanks for the the video, love your Styx t-shirt, I have Yamaha speakers I've had for twenty yrs, they always sound great to me. Sweet record storage, thanks for sharing.

Hi Melinda , Everything looks great . I love the record album drawers and your Beatles stuff is fab!

You’ve got a lovely home & set up there Melinda, especially those pull out drawers for your vinyl!! 🤘🏻

Hey Melinda, Your music system looks awesome! Your album storage is nice too! Great video as always.

Wow beautiful job on your Reno love that record storage,cheers from Saskatchewan Canada

Just love the pull-outs!! Awesome idea!

Just discovered your blogs, you have a very natural pleasant way of presenting. Love the pull out drawers for Vinyl, so easy to view covers. I still own the same YAMAHA receiver you have although in storage now as I rediscovered vinyl for my main music so have now recently purchased a rega 3 turntable, marantz pm6006 amp and Q acoustic 3020i speakers, amazing sound for just a mere £1500, a audiophile loves music & not how much it costs and your obviously a true audiophile. You have a beautiful home and blog with a new fan.

Great set up and lovely home. Those drawers are a great idea!

Very nice set up. I particularly liked the sliding drawers for your records. Thanks for showing us your listening area.

Love your cabinets, best I've seen !!

Melinda, first of all looks like you have a lovely home, I love the cabinetry for your records I had not seen something like it, very clever!!

Oh man, that cabinetry is a dream! I love that console room as well! Cheers, Joel!

Gorgeous cabinets and nice stereo. You have a beautiful home.

I love those LP drawers you had made. Like you say, just like browsing the record store back in the day. Nice system you have going. Thanks for sharing. STYX... great band. Part of my life soundtrack.

Hello Melinda, that was super cool to watch. I like your vinyl storage units a lot. My parents used to have an all-in-one system like the one you showed near the end. I have great memories listening to Christmas music with my family using that type of stereo.

Hey Melinda! Thanks for taking us on the listening room tour! Nice Denon! I plan on upgrading our standard Ortofon cartridge that came with our Pro-Ject turntable in the future. I also have a Yamaha receiver! Those built-in shelves are amazing! That vintage Motorola console is really awesome! Enjoyed you showing us around! Peace.

Thx for sharing. You’ve got a beautiful home. That ’67 Motorola is such a gem. Cool t-shirt by the way.

Thanks for sharing, I really like the custom drawers for your records!

How great! I love those record storage cabinets and how out of the way the records are, all the while being able to flip through them like you are at a record store. The John Lennon One To One poster is AWESOME (a word I rarely will use!). Seeing the 1967 stereo console brought back memories, as my mom also had one of those (around 1970 I think) - and I used to play my records on it a lot when I was a kid. Funny how the consoles contained only that teeny tiny space on the left side to house a very small vinyl collection! Great video, Melinda... thanks for sharing.

Ah the old stereo consoles! I can't believe we still have ours in our "junk room" an old 65 Magnavox that still works as well. I noticed that I have the same Beatles Hallmark keepsake ornaments that I purchased at Foley's department store many years ago. Thanks for all the great tips I will be treating my collection with a little more love. And your record bin built ins are to die for! 😊

I love your set up! That is awesome!

I grew up with a stereo console as well it had 8 track, tuner and record player, just seeing that brought back memories and hey there’s no rule that says you have to be audiophile to love music and your equipment, I really enjoy your channel 🔈🔉🔊🔊🔊

I loved the tour Melinda. And by the view count of this video it seems I'm not alone. I really like how everything has it's place. You really thought things through with your setup. The built in shelves are awesome as are your record drawers. It sounds like you have plenty of storage. And your family vintage stereo cabinet turntable was awesome to see. You really have a beautiful home. And just to put the video over the top you have a Vertigo swirl spinning. Awesome! I've heard great things about the Ortofon Blue. People say it's a clear and noticeable difference from the Ortofon Red. Thanks for giving the tour!

Love the Vertigo swirl on the turntable......I just recently acquired my first one of those. Great set-up for your vinyl collection.....

Hey Melinda, it was fun to see your equipment. My favorite part of the video though are those pull outs that you have your albums in! That is such a cool feature to be able to store your records that way. I also love the console that you have upstairs, it's cool to have a piece of vintage equipment like that with a special and nostalgic meaning. I also I love the movie The Notebook so I like the poster of that on the wall and your other music related items as well. Anyways thanks for sharing and I'll talk to you soon. 🙂

Nice setup Melinda! Love the built in's! Super clean look. Take care

Hi Melinda, wonderful seeing your setup and those cabinets you had made are great - maybe one day I can upgrade from my milk crates to something like that. I think you're setup is fine, I'm using a receiver as well with my old Sanyo TP-1030 which I've been dragging around Australia since the 80's and I think it sounds great. Love seeing the Styx shirt - some of my favorite times was spent singing along with them. Keep on rock'in and so glad I found your channel.

Thanks for the nice tour...clean, organized and tasteful. Kinda makes me rethink my cluttered, hoarding approach.

I wish I was that organized. My folks had a similar stereo in the 70s. Thanks for showing

Nice! Love the custom cabinets and the pull-outs. ... My folks had a console too, but dad actually went with separate components he fell in love with from Radio Shack in 1973.

I love how you can flip just like the store. Really neat.

Wow, amazing set up Melinda!! Your parents vintage record player is beautiful; congrats :-)

Really nice!! Very nice and a great way of arranging your vinyl!

Top Notch set up there for sure Melinda. Love how you have the flip style storage for your records and the vintage equipment. Nipper is the bomb! Enjoyed Andre’

Hi Melinda. I just got my two KRK speakers to go with my Audio Technica LP120 turntable. It really does sound awesome. The first album I tested it with was Dark Side of the Moon and it sounded brilliant (remastered 180g version) just had to say as I love watching your very well made videos. Keep on rolling!!

Hi just stumbled across your channel really enjoyed what I've seen so far, I'm a vinyl collector too been collecting for years, I love all the bands and records you talk about also, keep up your posts, best wishes from Newcastle Upon Tyne England! Ps my favourite band is Deep Purple

Great video! Couldn't help but notice all of the Kiss LP's you had. Big headbanger and Kiss fan here! Anyway, thanks for sharing!

Very nice, dig the listening room. You have great taste and style. Greetings from Germany.

love the vinyl drawers just brilliant

Just found your channel and will be bing watching over the next several days! I love the storage you have for you albums on the new built in. Very nice. If it isn't already full, I'm sure it won't take long. I just upgrade my desk top system speakers the Focal 706 Chorus. I am liking them so far and with a sub, they sound really good. Still breaking them so I expect that they will get even better. You can find them on Amazon! Happy vinyl hunting!

Awesome stereo equipment. I really love your storage place for your records

Awesome to see how you integrated your albums in the cabinets!!! I love your turntable too. I also grew up with my parents console stereo system. I'm making myself a little music room in my son's old room and I just finished cataloguing and grading my 400 albums mostly from the 70s and 80s on Discogs.

Awesom3 setup Melinda. Great built ins

Love that you like albums and vintage stereos as I! I am 64 and as my collection grows so will my cabinets!

You have an awesome setup for your equipment, Melinda!

Beautiful set up! And a lovely home all around! I love the record storage. We always end up with a pile of CDs sitting out and it makes me bonkers! I love how tidy everything looks at your house and I aspire to the same!

Hi Melinda. Love the large Nipper statue. I upgraded from the 2M red to blue cartridge and I’m happy with it. Great stereo console. Still in great shape. Nice tour. -Jeff

I absolutely love the storage for the records. Very cool.

Melinda, you have a beautiful home! Love your vinyl drawers. And yes I think you would like the Ortofon Blue.

Beautiful set up. Nice and neat. Love the builtins. Those cabinet drawers for those LP’s are sweet. Love that old console 👍 glad to see you are hanging on to it. I enjoy refurbishing those old stereos. I need to finish my Zenith CobraMatic. Excellent music room tour 🙂

I just “upgraded” my Yamaha RX-V377 to a Vintage Yamaha CR-620… it should arrive tomorrow. I could totally get lost in your record collection… Soooo much good music!… Soooo many good memories! BTW… Love the RCA Dog…. nice touch! ❤️🎶

Danke for the tour! Nice stuff.

Hi Melinda, those record drawers are a great idea. 👍

Melinda, looks good. I think my parents had a Magnavox console stereo. Lots of listening memories! - Thanks, Chris

You have an awesome accent. Great video and stereo and lovely house, too.

Hey Melinda!! What better way to kick off my 3 day weekend than with a brand new video from you! I loved the inside look into your listening areas as well as the looks at the equipment. I've been asked to do a video like this before but just never thought that anything I had was THAT special as to warrant a video and I'm way more natural speaking about records and music than I am at talking about equipment. I know name brands but models always confuse me. LOL. But the more that I've gotten to know everyone on here the more I believe that they aren't so much looking to be blown away by what we have as that they are just curious what we use to spin our glorious records, so maybe i'll do my own someday. It'd be the shortest video I've ever done! LOL! I LOVE your shelves and the record store feeling they allow you to have! SO JEALOUS! And that Motorola console! Wow! LOVE that! My grandparents had one exactly like that years ago but got rid of it, and my father in law recently bought one at an antique store and even though he owns no records, wont give it to me. He's a big antique collector. Go figure...LOL! Loved this vide and it was so great to see you! Have a great weekend!

Love the vintage console. I have my grandparents old one, that unfortunately can’t be repaired. And love your Beatles stuff.

Love my Denon 300F, (DL-110 cart.), too. As the old stereo store guy Jerry, (now retired), used to say... turntables should be automatic. Shortly after we got it, we found a B&O 1800, at an estate sale. So, back in the box it went. Recently it just went back into the system. Wow what a soundstage. We are playing it through a McIntosh set-up from the late 80’s, (another estate sale find). Best part is the XRT-18 speakers. I grew up with my parents Magnavox console. Christmas records in July. My parents had to love me. Thanks for the great videos. You’re inspiring me to make some videos, too.....stay tuned.

Love your videos, very entertaining. I love the Lennon poster, I was able to attend that concert at Madison Square Garden.I was at the afternoon show. 2 years earlier i was at the afternoon show for The Concert For Bangladesh

Nice setup Melinda! Those storage drawers are cool and I love built in shelves too. You know, you can buy just the 2M Blue stylus and run it on your Red cartridge. That's the only difference between the two. Something to think about. I love the console stereo too, of course. Reminds me of my Telefunken console. Thanks for the tour, you have a beautiful home.

What a wonderful set up and I’m loving your new built in storage. Looks like you have room to grow. Really love the set up in your upstairs also and that your console from childhood is still spinning records. Maybe you’ll convert your husband to the vinyl life. 😉

What a coincidence. Your old turntable was playing Styx Monolith. Same vinyl that is on my turntable today too. You have a fantastic collection of vinyl. Cheers

Love the room tours!

I love the drawers for your albums. I have always kept mine on shelving units. I had a house fire back in 1986 and because the albums were so tightly packed in the shelves, most of them survived the heat. Some that were on the ends and a few that were sticking out a bit didn't get so lucky.

Great band on that shirt! Melinda great audio setup. Nice turntable, the Ortofon 2m Red is one of my favorite cartridges. It performs great, for a great price. Love the built in shelving, it looks awesome! Love that record storage. I also grew up with a console, cool you still have it. Great work on the video, Thank You for the post!

Great tour and set up. The console unit is vey cool. A nice antique piece of furniture that is still functional. Those units have made a comeback in recent years people seeking them out at thrift stores and having them fix to working order. I have a friend who has a TV repair shop whose big business in recent years is to repair such units. I have to make a video of my stereo set up. I had to put it back together and with patience I was able to find some really high end equipment at thrift stores. Enjoyed the video, I am about to post one myself.

Oooh I love the HMV Nipper statue. That is gorgeous. I have a vintage Michelin Man next to my turntable. He guards it when I am not at home.

Really cool tour. What a way to store your records! You said “like a record store” Better than a record store!

LOVE the built in cabinets Melinda! The 2M Blue is definitely worth the upgrade. I highly recommend it. Cheers Frank

Nice looking old console! We still use a 1968 Magnavox console I had recapped and and I refurbished the record changer on. It works great, not audiophile quality for sure but plenty good enough for us. Thanks for the tour :)

What Hater gave this video a a thumbs down? I like the flip though record cabinet. Enjoyed it as always

This was a very fun video! I enjoyed it quite a bit! I love the dog statue! It looks very similar to the RCA dog! I have no personal experience with Ortofon styli, yet, but I will be getting the Red eventually when I have the funds! I’ve heard that the Blue sounds brighter and really brings out the music more but as I said, I currently have no personal experience! That console from when you were a kid is freggin cool and amazing that it still works after all these years of good lovin’! Here’s to many more!

That was a nice tour melinda so on the 2m blue it is imho a gigantic leap up from the red fantastic cartridge definitely worth it.

Very nice setup!! Love your in wall cabinets with pull out vinyl drawers! Also think the Nipper statue (RCA dog) is a cool touch. Having watched several of your videos and recently subscribing, I often wondered how/where you stored your collection. I use the Better Homes & Gardens cubes from Walmart for my own. Maybe someday I can upgrade to custom cabinets…. Keep on rockin’!

Wow very cool! I don’t know a lot about stereo equipment and I’m definitely not an audiophile in the true technical sense but I know enough to say that’s a real nice set up you have there Melinda And the drawers for your records are amazing Also thanks for showing the old console I just scored an old console for free It’s in great shape and it has turntable and 8-track player Everything is intact and I literally just received it today I’ll clean it up and hope for the best Thanks again Melinda!

Awesome built ins!! Great retro player upstairs.

HI Melinda, Hello from Ireland Love Your storage solution, what a great idea!, So Jealous lol

Wow! Those record cabinets are cool!

Really nice setup, Melinda. Not a thing out of place. Best part was seeing that you do have legs! I have the Ort blue on a new Fluance 85 and I like it a lot. You would probably only notice a difference if you sat and listened for one. Love The Beatles room!

Hey Melinda , Nice video !! Love the way you painted the blue insert in the mantle with the matching candles ... Good Weekend ... Jimmy ....

Beautiful cupboard/drawer for your vinyl. It has inspired me for an upcomming project. I am not an audiofile but I love good sounding music. It all needs to be decent and not over the top. As a teener I have had quite some gear but I sold it off in my early 20's because I wanted to live abroad. Now 20 years later I have returned home and start to listen to music again with a tad more quality. As a re-starter I would not want to spend more that 2k for a whole set. I just bought an receiver Onkyo R-N855 for very little money. The compact size and decent sound is beautiful when hooked up to the right speakers. My brother has some of Asterix's menhirs (Canton Ergo 91) and I tried with them - I did not sound bad at all. I like the receiver with internet radio. This allowes me to tune to radio stations from places I want to keep in touch with. So, I am looking for a used CD player, and new speakers that are priced decent - they also need to have the right colour. Colours like Walnut I prefer now. Further I am looking for a Vintage turntable from the 80's or 90's. I don't like the plastic shells of today.
