Your dual setup with the hifi facing one way, and tv facing the other is exactly what I've considered doing myself. Though my wife thinks I'm nuts lol. I think I'll be eliminating some boxes and upgrading to a Mcintosh integrated at some point. Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your quick reply much appreciated. Ps Audio makes really good equipment, but pricy. The Director is the same price as your Sonus Faber. By the way I noticed you also have Martin Logan too. I'm looking into the DirectStream Dac from Ps Audio that I haven't even heard yet, but there are great reviews on it. Hope to see more of your videos it's always cool to see other people's setups and exchange experiences. Have a great day bro.
@@walterstorm9221 Hey Walter do I own the DirectStream Dac and if you do what other Dacs did you audition before going with it. I've heard great things about Chord and a much less expensive and known BorderPatrol SE DAC
Check out the lks dh-004 dac with upgraded USB. I absolutely love ps audio but this thing sounds better than the Dave chord (I have demoed both) and holds itself right with the direct stream. A true steal of a dac at 1500 it will knock over 5-7k dacs (I have done it!)
Mong man And yet all the trolls telling me I need acoustic treatments because there is a 500hz dip in the room? Who can I please? LOL! 😂🎼✨I do record in 4K however 👌
Great video. It even sounds good over CZcams. A nice balanced system. Happy to see someone who values cables and tweaks. Hard to do with all the doubters out there. It has obviously paid off. Thanks for sharing.
I can only imagine the deep bass since this was the first time my 10.5” iPad Pro was actually vibrating in my hand in the year and a half since I’ve had it.
Thank you for this video. I love your system. Clearly, you love your hobby and it shows. I'd like to give you a bit of an advice, if I am not too presumptuous. I assume you plugged the P10 to the PD. If so, that minimizes - if not destroys - most of the benefits of the P10. Even the manual says that power plant should not be daisy chained. They should be connected directly to a wall socket and no other power conditioning unit should be before it. I have 3 PS Audio plants/conditioners. The last piece in the chain always measured worse than if you connected it directly to power line. That is why they power different power zones: digital, vinyl and main. But I might have misunderstood and you run them in parallel and not chained - then please ignore my suggestion. Thank you. But what a clean, wonderful system, attention to every detail, all is matched perfectly!
Vlad Grigorian Hi Vlad. I actually spoke with PS audio on this as I have had many products going back to the 90’s with the HCA amps & PCA preamp. The P10 does not have an ultimate outlet installed inside, so they are not running through twice. The P10 uses a different technology to AC regeneration compared to the old models. So the wall power goes into the power director, and the P10 goes into that. So all components are isolated on different plugs on the P10. The p10 on its own was to dark and rolled off. Plugging into the power directors ultimate outlet inside REALLY brought life back into the system. PS audio said it was fine. I’ve had it this way for 2 years with no issue. Thank you for listening!! 😊👍🎼✨

Very nice system. congratulations. I held out on a music server and outboard dac too. but Tidal is too enticing so I popped for a Schiit Yggdrasil and it makes a huge difference. It sounded so good I went out and bought some Tannoy speakers that I've had my eye on. The Cheviot. something about Tannoy and British sound equipment that I like. I found that my power conditioner, the Isotek evo3 Aquarius, made a much bigger difference than real expensive cables.
I really like your system and how much care went into pairing components. I do have to say, I winced a little when you picked up that record by the playing surface... :P
Lol, I was like "Man, that's a cool looking turntable. I gotta have one. I've been looking to upgrade my Audio Technica for a while so I think I'll get this one... wonder how much it is..." *Looks up turntable* Nope! I love my Audio Technica. Never upgrading for the rest of my life. >_>
So much money spent but no sign of any attempts at acoustic treatment? Those speakers are pretty close to the back wall and would surely benefit from bass traps behind, no?
Mr B Speakers are 7 feet apart and 3 feet from the back wall. The tree behind the left speaker, and audio shelf behind the right are great diffusers. This is a condo, so no room for anything else. Thanks for watching 👌🎼
@Ming man Aye! . . . The pope is gonna hear it from me. He and his ladyboys are sitting on a network of properties in every town in the world. Everyone of 'em probably has a McIntosh system sitting in it!
Good quality equipment, but sound room is bad.may as well have your stereo playing in a bathroom.too many places sound escapes your ear and out of door openings and windows.note speaker on each side of large window which is a terribly bad idea.invest in a sound room with sound panels then begin too hear a big difference in your music.
Awesome setup. Question I have a marantz pm 8005 integrated amplifier. Can I connect that tube buffer from the marantz pre out back into its power amp direct in connection??
High end power cables is just nonsense. They cannot possibly overcome the supply cables in the wall. That system is about as good as you can get spending more money is not going to gain more quality. You could spend more money on a system but it would be for large auditoriums were more amplification would be needed.
High end power cables aren't about getting "more" power than the wall can supply, they are about preventing interference and giving you the most pure sound possible. When you step up into systems in the $100K plus range they are essential.
@@kylejantzen2 They are not going to overcome the quality of the cables in the wall that do not cost tens of thousands. Cables in the wall are cheap and are really concerned with safety such as insulation and fire protection. Expensive power cables are not going to change 50Hz mains power. How are they going to prevent interference on a 50Hz cycle? DO you think that 50Hz cycle is going to be subject to interference?
Think that you have missed the logic of power cabling. Interference suppression is necessary when in a condo. Every other tenant is using switchmode power supplies and the mains hash is horrible. A standalone house has great benefit in electrical purity.
aR Bemo I grew up playing and listening to music. And yes, there is a great joy in listening to, and staring at equipment. No different than feeling the leather or hearing the exhaust from a Ferrari. It’s a wonderful thing 👍🔉🎼✨ Thank you for watching!
Wonder how the sound of 2 MC275 amps running mono block with a c1100 tube preamplifier using the sonus faber s venere. I’ve been debating on the tube amps that McIntosh has vs solid state. What’s your thoughts?
I hate to be negative, but when it got to positioning those feet under a power conditioner for better sound, all credibility was lost. Let's have a scientific explanation on how that works please. Also, I've heard of moving an antenna to get better reception, but elevating speaker cables always makes me face-palm. But I guess that's because I must be deaf. Can you say... "Placebo"? Spend, spend, spend, then be forced to admire, admire, admire to justify the spending.

@@montysbricks Agree with you Dean. "I hate to be negative" No you don't. "Scientific explanation". Science goes way past the blinkered limited science we have around us today. Blinkered Crap talk once again @CraigTube.
As a subscriber to your channel I'm pretty disappointed in you Craig. While I admire your pragmatic approach to audio, you don't appear to operating remotely in the same realm of gear that this fellow is. Obviously this man's system gives him a lot of joy, and its disappointing when others that are similarly passionate about audio attack others that are also passionate...ESPECIALLY when the attacking party doesn't have the requisite experience with the gear. If he's got the cash to play around with cable elevators, high end power and audio cables, and different forms of isolation, thats his business. If it makes a difference to him (placebo or not), that's none of your business, and shame on you for being so self important that you feel your opinion matters one bit. That said...I love your channel and you have amazing pragmatic content that was of great utility when I was starting out.
@@omgwtfpwnd I would go look at there instagram page. If they are so insulted why do they post pics of systems just like his. Once again if you think its snake oil go be it. Why is it only audiophile get this kind of treatment. Im not into art but I dont tell someone that what they think is nice I think sucks or go to a car show and start telling everyone that the money they spent on what ever was stupid. Only us audiophiles do and its all ways by someone who has never spent more then 500 on a system
@@vpconcepts9838 no problem man. I very much injoyed it! Did you end up adding a digital side, or stay analogue? I personally like that you didn't add streaming. Anyway yes very nice system.
max casci you can. I have it preouts to in on the integrated amp so that all inputs get the tube effect, just like a real tubed preamp. It works VERY well 👌🎼✨
Amazing ! This is a real work of passion. It reminds me I have to clean the mess of cables behind my rack. I see that I'm not the only one putting more money on cables than speakers. The more I see other people systems the more I think it's bullshit to put 50% of your budget on speakers. Power, cables, tweaks matters too. Nice video !
yannick930 This is very true! I never would have know "just how amazing" these speakers could be if I wouldn't have put the foundation into my system first. They truly sing 👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 looks great! I'm going to add soon a Niagara 5000 to my system. I was hesitant but every tweak I did so far improved the quality. Your video is inspiring for me.
@@vpconcepts9838 on the other hand.. if you put in better speakers… wouldn’t it sound even better? Also what about room accoustics ? I guess your system is around 50k+ and only 5k speakers ? I always thought your system can only sound as good as the speakers will allow it too ? 🤷♂️ Am I wrong ?
That McIntosh UFO turntable though😳...I love your system and the sound that flows out from the speakers, your system has flow which is perfect for me . Everything will sound great on your system. I felt drawn in , the music reproduction was captivating, made me sit up and listen!!! System matching is perfect too, you've thought long and hard about what pleases your ears....Jolly good show homie!!!! All the best from Manchester UK....

If he's got the cash to play around with cable elevators, high end power and audio cables, and different forms of isolation, thats his business. If it makes a difference to him (placebo or not), that's none of your business, and shame on you for being so self important that you feel your opinion matters one bit.
That said...I love your channel and you have amazing pragmatic content that was of great utility when I was starting out.
@@omgwtfpwnd I would go look at there instagram page. If they are so insulted why do they post pics of systems just like his. Once again if you think its snake oil go be it.
Why is it only audiophile get this kind of treatment. Im not into art but I dont tell someone that what they think is nice I think sucks or go to a car show and start telling everyone that the money they spent on what ever was stupid. Only us audiophiles do and its all ways by someone who has never spent more then 500 on a system
no need to be mean
4:57 I cringed, I cringed hard
Jacob Harbarenko it’s a dummy disk to protect the platter. I hate dust covers. I talk about it in another video. Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
Absolutely gorgeous equipment, The Royalty of hi-fi is actually putting it mildly, Well done that man 👍
Thanks Derek! Check out my latest videos, she's much better now! 👍🎼✨🏆
Thanks Paul!!! Great setup. Wow..,
Dirk K always a privilege to give you a shout out Dirk! 👌🎼💥
Que musica tan aburrida ¡lastima de equipo!
Nice set up man. Looks like a few of your favorite things.
It's come a looong way since then! Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 no problem man. I very much injoyed it! Did you end up adding a digital side, or stay analogue? I personally like that you didn't add streaming. Anyway yes very nice system.
hi what path are the valve buffer cables doing? do you connect them from the CD player to the amplifier? thank you
max casci you can. I have it preouts to in on the integrated amp so that all inputs get the tube effect, just like a real tubed preamp. It works VERY well 👌🎼✨
Kudos from across the pond if that was my system id end my hi fi journey!
Thank you Andrew! And this is my old system! Check out my current Seattle system video some time. Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
Amazing ! This is a real work of passion.
It reminds me I have to clean the mess of cables behind my rack.
I see that I'm not the only one putting more money on cables than speakers.
The more I see other people systems the more I think it's bullshit to put 50% of your budget on speakers. Power, cables, tweaks matters too.
Nice video !
yannick930 This is very true! I never would have know "just how amazing" these speakers could be if I wouldn't have put the foundation into my system first. They truly sing 👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 looks great! I'm going to add soon a Niagara 5000 to my system. I was hesitant but every tweak I did so far improved the quality. Your video is inspiring for me.
@@vpconcepts9838 on the other hand.. if you put in better speakers… wouldn’t it sound even better? Also what about room accoustics ? I guess your system is around 50k+ and only 5k speakers ? I always thought your system can only sound as good as the speakers will allow it too ? 🤷♂️ Am I wrong ?
What an amazing system ! I have never heard any Mcintosh equipment myself but have read how good it is. however it looks incredible!
lazycalm41 Thank you! More to come! 👌🎼✨
Mind blowing system and mind blowing sound 👌
And this was my old setup! Thanks so much Mohan. 👌🎼✨
Keep the hobby alive! Nice system and greetings from Brazil. Not an audiophile here but hi fi enthusiast, because music must be respected.
Chris Calvet Thank you Chris! 👍🎼✨

That McIntosh UFO turntable though😳...I love your system and the sound that flows out from the speakers, your system has flow which is perfect for me . Everything will sound great on your system. I felt drawn in , the music reproduction was captivating, made me sit up and listen!!! System matching is perfect too, you've thought long and hard about what pleases your ears....Jolly good show homie!!!! All the best from Manchester UK....

So have you 🤔 toured the Boring tunnel in Vegas and made any new videos of the changes ?
I'm in Seattle now Sir! I have current videos up on my channel reflecting this. However my video for June is a tour of a new audio store in Vegas that just opened! Had to fly in for a visit 😉👌🎼✨
WOW 🤔 quite a change from Vegas, so how do you like it there , what took you there …if you don’t mind sharing 😍😍😍
