This video is so good that I have to watch it more than once
That's great advice to everyone!
I'm also a retro hi-fi fan. A great hi-fi & high-end collection. Actually a hi-fi museum. I also have the Marantz 2325. A great stereo receiver with full sound. Since I'm German, I watched CZcams silently. This text was translated from German to English using Google translator. Greetings Michael
Im today's video, I did German Captions, let me know how it works!
This guy has the Ultimate and Absolutely Hard to Find Collections I have Seen, Every Piece of that I would be Proud to own, whats really a Bummer is I have owned 75% of these at one Time or another and Traded back and fourth ! Thanks for the Awesome Video!
For me, it's not about the power. It's about the quality. I take great care and pride in the work I do. You have different approaches and I respect that because it's about what you enjoy. I've recently took my separate system appart, and rebuild them with better, more reliable parts, and after almost 50 years, it was time. It's better than when it left the factory all these years ago. I hear the difference, and it's huge. I do this with every audio device I have. So it's good for another 50 years, and my kids and grandkids will be able to use them as well. Both my daughters are into audio, they love music. It's important to transmit our passion.
I give these people credit for finding all this vintage stuff and preserving it.
Nice gear, great vid. but this reminds that decades ago I sold my 2325, CTF-9191 among other gear, including Infinity Monitor Jrs.. #cry 😢😢 Keep these ‘barn finds’ coming- so cool!
My DENON Separates have rosewood sides. Just a little lighter than the
PIONEER ELITE.
I almost had an Elite rosewood receiver last😮 week?😮😮😮
I NEED to find a
RX Nakamichi (flipping deck)
Yessss! DENON DP semi auto!
This person has most all the 'big boys', and rare things that we all dream about. The hunt for them especially in great condition is part of the fun! Then if you find one you need the $$$. I have stumbled on some very nice pieces for a reasonable amount. I have three points. Not all of us have the money, not all of us have the display space, and there are many, many components off the radar that are every bit as good. That's where l sit. I'm extremely proud of what l've accumulated! A last thing. Use it! Don't just light it up.
It's great to be a vintage audiophile isn't it ! 😊
Sure is!
i would prefer to be colector
I love seeing these Hi Fi collections videos! So much fun...!!!
Glad you like them!
I have a Pioneer sa-7500 , HPM 40w , Marantz EQ D-20 and a Technics sl-23...
45 years old and sounds so good...
Piece from here and there and on my budget ...I luv it.
I am from BANGALORE, INDIA, the gentleman who owns all these HI FI systems is the RICHEST MAN in this world,
This is a real collection!
I have a good number of them but not this condition.
Great to watch your video.
You've become the Guy Fieri of Hi-Fi
I mean, I'll take that haha
Back in the 80s I sold home audio for a living. I hated sales, but boy did I love the gear. But we didn't carry high end stuff like this. This stuff is wicked cool.
Its great gear
Those of us who own such wonderful gear as most, realize how valuable in saving and caring for such vintage gems! Now with your channel, we are seeing some awesome collections, and pieces many have never seen. I was one of the lucky ones serving in Japan 1977-78 and went to many HIFI Shops in Tokyo. Those were the days seeing the Pioneer section, the Marantz section, the Sansui section, and Kenwood, Technics etc. Sound rooms to check the speakers out. Even on the military bases in japan had great Audio shops/rooms where I bought many pieces in the day. Now with prices going sky high, its hard to pickup additional pieces for a good price. Who caused this... Lenny?????? Great job!
i was there(Japan) in 73 and was amazed with what i saw ,and went there with a japanese friend who knew where to go i was amazed ,i remenber seeing some speakers that were from the floor till the ceiling and two meters large ,they had some powerfull 250 watts of power at 8 ohms, and it looked like a piece of furniture to put our clothes but with excessive height, the front grill had to be taken by two litle men and worked wood like if it was a art work with cloth behind ,the brand i don´t remenber but they were old at the time, just don´t remenber what they told me when asked how to take them from inside the store or to put them inside ,it looked like they were putted there before building the front wall with a litle window ,the store wasn´t that big
Awesome collection! LOVE the Sansui 2000 set!
Just imagine testing a THX certified LaserDisc to one of those systems. It woukd sound badass!
The PIONEER QRX999 looks as good as the MARANTZ 4400 I've owned for 10 years !! GOOD VIDEO !!! Greetings from France
JBL 4311‘S WERE MY FIRST STUDIO MONITORS!!
I also like how you like knobs and switches! And how you agree with customization to fit your display plan. Some updating helps a lot too! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you!
Nice pieces! Thanks
Love the shelf devoted to the monster receivers.
Amazing collection👌👍
Amazing collection 😊😊😊
Great show and tell, thanks.
Stunning. My faves are the PL90 TT (without a doubt, I have never even seen one in the flesh) and the Phase Linear tuner. The Sony items, the receiver and the separates, were also interesting. This collection featured the ST-730ES tuner but it seems the one that’s really special is the ST-770ES.
The new GOLD Standard for Speakers
All new NODE HYLIXA Signature Speakers 🤫🤫
this is like visiting a hifi museum
I live in a apartment, I can't just build anything I want. But if I could I would opt for a Pioneer sx780 on two Bose 301v . It's the lowest power one I can think of off hand with the flip switch power and the wattage meters. That's all I need with a record player and line in from this computer with a large music folder.
Just Wonderful, Cool stuff , I’d love to pick out system to Rock with ! Loving it ! You go young man !
Rock on!
Amazing gear
Staggering! Never knew about the Sony stuff. I own the Onkyo 506rs. Very similar. Nice job guys!
man, i just got back into stereo systems and love all the classic brands you are hi-liting!!! Just amazing pieces of sound equipment. I've been thrifting the last several weeks and have found a few gems for not a whole lot of $$, including receivers, CD players, Cassette deck and speakers. Great times!
Thanks, Chris! I'm glad to have you with the channel!!
Love the shirt! Pro 2A all the way!
K fabulosa colección y la manera de presentarla ❤️
Super Duper Nice Buatifull shop
thats a cool room and setup , i like the cabinet and the barn finish rough cut wood and the lights , i had 1960 ish ami juke box 45's i still have my version of the monster mash by the crypt kickers , the g 9000 is nice , i run a sx1010 with the hpm 100 - 200 w version , with another set of cs-63dx 15" woofers and i have a sx 737 for stand by, back up . i had a sx 980 it did not have the warm sound like the sx 1010 does and the sx 1980 also seems similar with loss of sound quality but looks so nice ... great video
Thanks for sharing! & Thanks for watching!
super !!!
The hpm 1500 has the waffle surrounds which last like the hpm 100's
and the hpm 150 has the rubber surrounds on the woofer.
All i can say is WOW
I'm seeing things l didn't know existed! How cool.
My bearded brother! Love this channel!
Amazing !!!
Thanks!!
Awesome
Wow a house of eye candys
This is awesome. I love the Elite LD player. I accidentally won a Pioneer CLD 900 player on eBay about 15 years ago. I really enjoy watching movies on it no matter how good or poor the transfer. I was so mesmerized by the format in the early 90s when Camelot records in the mall I went to suddenly had an ld movie section. My friend and I went through them for about an hour when I first noticed. I got some Series iii Bose 301s at Goodwill in near mint condition for 48 bucks a few months ago. They pair beautifully with my Klipsche Icons hooked up to my kinda budget end Yamaha amp from 2003. I also have all my gear except my cassette deck, which usually run through a djm 900 mixer. So excuse this long comment, but that leads me to a question 🤔 I use my mixer as a preamp so I crank my Yamaha up not far from below max volume and them adjust the volume with the faders on the mixer. Does this make any difference than just running it through the amp and adding the volume that way?
Nice video bro!
this is excitement to me
EV in the 70s had a very good 2 way horn system with 15" and horn driver and a comfortable sound. Altec Lansing was more for professional. The EV with the pipe in the woofer with passive radiator was quite an interesting smaller speaker. Understated are the Koss 1s, Epicure, Braun (I really dislike the owner of the patriots), the original Boothroyd Meridian amplifiers and preamplifiers...Best was the Yamaha Centennial Collection and it's now priced out of sight as the older systems such as the Pioneer 20 series is an example and technics Table from the SP-02 (look it up) but Doug Sax uses the SP-10mk2 with Epa-100 and one of their best cartridges an all measurements crushed competition with the Stanton 981 signature
I had EV-7 speakers. They were heavy, 12 inches speaker, alnico, with horn. There was another model with normal speaker which sounded also very good. I repainted them with varnish and did the front grill with new material, while preserving the original look. They were beautiful.
Way cool..
This is Absolutely PHENOMENAL, I am Blown Away to the Max and Super Jealous, would love to have that Pioneer 510 Timer to complement the SX1280 I bought from You!!! I also have a 2121 Cassette Deck virtually New in original box with the Lay Down Cassette !
Love the Lay Down Cassette position, that one is a bit Eclipsed by my AIWA AD 6500 Cassette that actually Loads the Cassette in the Lay Down position, again Virtually New and Works perfect!!! But Kevin and Spencer PLEASE Find me a DT-510 Timer! You Guys Rock and I want to come and live with this Collection!!!! W O W
Oh yes, the Pioneer CTF-2121. For a teenager at the time, with no greenbacks, just green envy, that was the delectable and the only possibly affordable cassette deck - softly illuminated waaaay back in the depths of the machine. Halcyon days...
Just saw Bobby last night, what a great guy, very personable.
Yeah I can't wait to visit again some time
I met him when I sold him some JBL L36s a few years ago. I liked him instantly.
Hi, could you build a system of Technics separates, they can be from any era of their production but use KEF speakers. Thanks
Ahahahahahaha ahahahahahaha Linny you too easy...I just love truning those NOBS...that again is... what She said ...😂
At 3:40, If that was my collection, the minute I saw you slide the timer across the top of that cassette deck, your little video tour would have been shown the door.
How good can those HPM-100s sound, if they’re mounted on the wall, along with the speakers in the alcove? That’s a beautiful system, but I’m not crazy about the speaker placement.
My friend what are the model number of the Infinity speaker.
I have trouble deciding what album to play!
Marantz tangital turntable! Don't forget AR suspended suspention.
Not a single piece of Technics gear.A brand that inventd a lot of technology that other brands used.(Direct drive turntable and 3 head cassette deck just for 2 examples).Love to see a video on some of Techics rare equipment.SB-M1 and SB-9000 speakers as well as their power amps The SE-A3MK2 power amp produced 300 wpc but peaked at 1500wpc.Power meters went to 1000 wpc.
Same here👍👍
Maybe we will find some soon!
Technics was the brand of matsushita/Panasonic if I'm not mistaken. But they did indeed had some high end equipment, I don't remember how it was called, it was all separate, like the kenwood 700m, and it was beautiful and very high quality stuff. I still have my old SL-1200 MK2, I think the cd sound better, but I like my old record too. It's written on it "Technics by Panasonic". They made great stuff.
And you're right, these speakers are absolutely amazing, original design that you recognise instantly. There's so many different, and good stuff. The harder thing is to be able to know when to stop.
Cut the talk and play me some Neil Diamond on that beautiful thing 😂
JBL party all night long loud!
Bel Klipsch unfinished and the number of screws in mid to high Klipsch was measured in lbs for the corner horn.
Wow. my colleccion pales in comparison. I'm drooling!
Marantz 2270
Pioneer CT-F 1250
Marantz 5120 tape deck
Superscope TD-28 ( I like pink displays)
Dual CS-607
Dual 708-q
Lafayette T-4000 with mounted head carts from the late 70s and early 80s including a Audio Technica Quad cart
A pioneer eq
ESS Heil AMT speakers
RSL 3800 which in my opinion rivals the JBLs
I'm looking for an LR 9090 which was built by Setton, for Lafayette, btw.
Very nice!
Kenwood model 7 speaker and all of the Laboratory series isn't bad, nor the integrated amplifiers and awesome tuners.
Im thinking of buying a Marantz 1150D for $750 Canadian. Thoughts? Everything has been fixed that needed to be. Thank you
If you want it get it
agree that the switches and lights are cool....but I have yet to hear you play one of these...maybe I missed it
How could you ignore the Fisher 500-C in your collection??!! I’ve got one, which was restored 20 years ago, and it still sound better than anything today. For shame!
I only listen to harman/kardon. Such a big collection, great items indeed, but all those companies not cutting it for me. They dont have twin power or ultrawideband sound, it's just not the same I guess.
WHAT?! I'll bet you couldn't tell the difference between your H/K stuff (love H/K, by the way), and many other vintage audio gear.
I grew up with this stuff unfortunately I couldn't afford most of it .
MCS was jc pennys house brand,
i thought i was a colector but it seems that i only have some hi-fi components gathered along my life
Ken Fritz has the largest HIFI system.
You know what is oddly missing is SAE and they had Red Leds. So where is Darth Vader's turntable the Sansui 929?
We have some SAE coming
What is the receiver in the listening room that has the top off, a Fisher 440T?
I think it was a 500c
@@LennyFlorentine Good eye! I instantly recognized the 500C. When my dad passed in 2015, I inherited the whole mammoth sized wooden furniture console, with the 500C in near mint condition! The console had custom speakers from Fisher circa the early to mid 60's too. The 500C was used occasionally while growing up in dad's house (he never let me or my brothers touch it), mostly on family gatherings on holidays, and on occasional Sundays! It still turns on and works, however I decided to never turn it on again until I get it checked out and/or brought up to date with replacment caps, diodes, etc. just to make sure it is normally operational. I remember back in the 80's, when dad was at work, I hooked up my Magnepans and my Polk Audio Monitor 10's to his 500C, and the sound was glorious! If only he knew! R.I.P. dad.
@@AudiophileTubes My dad still has his 440T that he bought new when I was in first grade. It's what sparked my interest in hifi as a kid. And yeah, no-one was allowed to touch it. Sadly it's sitting in his basement, waiting for me to inherit it one day.
@@scrappy7571 Nice! My uncle had a 500t that he bought after hearing my father's Fisher system. Of course, the 500 is solid state, but sounded great!
Os equipamentos são de primeira linha, mas é pena estar tudo estático, deveriam ter um uso corrente como faço com os meus, dá imenso trabalho mas compensa largamente.
Hello sir what price Indian caranci and India shiping sir
Skipped the Tascam 112 just like that?!
Wow, all of those are actually plugged in?
Yes
No veo al Pioneer kh 8855
DON'T TOUCH his equipment, man! Just kidding. Jesus H. Christ ('H' stands for Hi-Fi, of course), what a collection! The only thing missing is an Onkyo M-510 amplifier!
Im jealous Some people are just so lucky
Pioneer finishing is called URUSHI maybe the guy that worked on their components ,in Europe there isn´t a ELITE just top end hi-fi components by URUSHI not multi-players or doble decks only the highest quality in Pioneer
🥰👍🥰
No DENON??
Ive seen no epi speakers or genesis physics speakers.. or any hafler. Or any soundcraftsmen.. or any ohm speakers. Or heathkit . Or OTL amps.. or kyrocera. Or kenwood kd series turntables or audio purists .
I'm totally loving this But there is one thing that bothers me especially with these huge collectors that spend millions of dollars collecting this stuff no one ever gets the unicorn that's right the techniques 1000 the holy Grail of receivers The champion that won the receiver wars 🤔
Still in search of it!
@@LennyFlorentine I wonder how many where made during production 🤔 I think a lot of them are in California and Japan 🤔
I respect your videos but.. whos seen graphyx sp-10 speakers?
I see douk audio
Can't be married....No wife would put up with all "of that stuff" lol
Darn the Bad Luck...😂
You should see my wife's reaction to my vintage Hi-Fi AND Amateur/Shortwave radios collection! Ham Radios and receivers everywhere, including our china cabinet that I have co-opted for some gear!
The pitch of his voice is tolerable in this video 😁
But i guess he drinks too much coffee or just overdosed on hifi on some.
Please 🙏 I have B&W804 and class D amp. So high pitched voice is really not down toned 😂
Personally, I never liked the look of vintage gear
In my opinion, the technology, design and components that exist today are much supririor
but let's put my opinion aside,. In your videos I noticed that you mostly focuse on the appearance and not the sound qulity
WHAT???!!! You sound like a guy that drives a Honda Civic and wears SKECHERS! LOL
@@AudiophileTubes No i drive porche but i love the civic type R more
Also i have lampizator monos and gg2 dac and i am sure it sounds better then this 😊
I got bad ears it all sounds the same
Always appreciate your knowledge injected into these videos that I really like. Damn another G 22000 Exist. Explains everything, the guy use to service this stuff back in the day. I to like different colors, so very much like adding Audio timers, Power conditioner (Monster w/ turquoise blue), ect. Most people do the wall, I like to set up different systems through-out my residence, so have 6 set-up (some only 10 ft apart) 19 pairs of speakers. And still not enough room, so 3 closets filled up. It is an addiction. My 2 cents, own 19 FM Tuners and that Sansui TU 717 is one of my favorites for sound quality (Better than Pioneer TX 9500 MKII) the 917 has that stupid ass digital read out. The only thing better that I own is a Accuphase T101. Blew it on 2 others, could have bought a Sansui X1 for 1500 and a Yamaha CT7000 for 750 slip thru my fingers.
👍😎
Would you mind giving this gentleman location .. and at what time he goes to bed ?
Haha good luck with that
Love it all…accept your shirt…don’t stand behind a company that supports murderers proudly.
Love the personal collection visits, can imagine there are so many folks out there with amazing collections to see.
This guy just sees dollar signs. He didn't grow up with this stuff
You have no idea what you are talking about
Really, maroon? What an idiotic comment on your part.
*awesome equipment ,hard to just choose 1 so why not have em all, but great equipment deserves the best of displays and that tv is not an Oled so ummmmm....*
