7 years of outstanding shirts 🎉
Love this guy, Steve brings me joy with every video. Next time ill send my own pics of my system. Bringing the community together, like a true music lover. Keep it up!
Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs Audiophiliac!!
Behind every great man stands a great woman. Awesome!
Thanks so much for including my system on your 7th Anniversary show!!! Thank you for your wonderful content!!!
Not only are these systems awesome, so is some of the music that gets played on these systems. Wonderful hobby...
I enjoy seeing all these amazing systems.
The first system with the Altecs caught my attention.
Congratulations to your 7 years! And hello to Robin!
Viewer system videos are always so great. Variety is the spice of life!
Happy Anniversary! So much fun to see all the wonderful audio systems and variety. Vinyl is alive and doing well.
Love seeing systems that others build out. Truly we are a wonderful bunch of audiophiles that enjoy our craft. This was fun Steve…..happy 7th. 🎉😊
Mrs. Audio philiac needs a segment of her own to tell us some of those stories she's teasing us with. Congratulations on your seven year anniversary!
Behind every Audiophiliac is a Mrs. Audiophiliac ❤
Happy 7th Anniversary, Steve!! Thank You for showing up my system.
Nice to see all these great systems…. Great show Steve….
Thanks Steve ! Tim 5:25 with the Gallo speakers has the most amazing room !
Would love to see more of this house.
Thank you! This room has remarkable natural accoustics. In our last house, I never felt that the Gallos made enough bass. In this room, they produce a very satisfying amount, and the sound stage is so much bigger as well.
@jimburtwell2731 thank you Jim!
Holy Cow! Happy Anniversary Steve! You sir ROCK.
Awesome systems pictured,& Happy 7 year ANNIVERSARY.
This is the best
Your work is so appreciated by audiophiles and music lovers alike. Thank you and happy anniversary to you & your channel
I'll bet most of the newly released Nelson Pass First Watt SIT-4 amplifiers are being dedicated to playing vinyl. Sounds good to me.
Happy Anniversary! Peace! Thankyou for sharing your insights in a lucid friendly manner!
What an amazing mix of old and new equipment
Always lovely to hear from the Mrs Audiophiliac. Congrats on a nice run.
Happy Anniversary! What I learned from this video is that everyone has Audioquest cables except that one weird guy with the cable lifters :D
Congratulations! I like your commentary on audio. Can't wait to see your show with your lovely wife.
Happy anniversary Steve and thank you for all the fun and knowledge you share with us
🎊 🎉
Happy Anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Audiophiliac! You are the best! ❤❤❤
Congratulations Steve Guttenberg..have been a fan boy of your career for some time..even in print.Carbon dating here.Love your YT channel..I look forward to it every time it shows up.Keep up the great work it's greatly appreciated. And your shirts also..and Mrs.Guttenberg also.
Scotts loudspeakers are really impressive, let me guess, they produce an amazing black background.
Lavardin ( Hephaistos ) did a lot of reseach ( France ) published in the iconic magazine L'AUDIOPHILE ......about distortion caused by SS and NFB !
These amplifiers are exceptional and unique.........this is a niche brand for people who want something build for music rather than be pleased by high end sound hyped by marketing .......
121 -= 124 !
Belden cables are quality and used by professionals and recording studios............they won't ruin your budget .
Congratulations on seven years! Incredible!
Steve!, Thanks for posting this video
Wanted to thank Steve for showing my system. I never really thought he would show it as it is very incomplete at the moment, but I got some some nice lighted shelves to display it now, a starter dac that will be used for my headphones after I get a much better one, and speaker stands and a 75 inch tv are coming.
And the intro music is back! Yea boy!
Excellent as always, I notice the number of systems that show you on the screen! That's so cool, you're connecting baby, >ZOT< connecting...
Aaaw!! Congrats on the anniversary of the channel!!
Happy anniversary 🎉to you Steve !
Happy Anniversary from Spain. Love your channel
Congrats on 7 years. Although this is the audiophiliac, not videophiliac, I cringed when I saw that Xgimi Aura ultra short throw projector projecting on a wall about 8 minutes in. That just savages the image quality it's capable of with a proper ambient light rejecting screen.
All the best. Keep it up!! Wishes from Kolkata, India.
Super cool to see my system featured on your channel! (from 17:12 to 18:04). I've enjoyed the journey to get to get to the system I'm fortunate enough to enjoy most every night and your channel has helped so much!
I am always amazed at the endless variety of components and manufacturers. After all this a very niche market considering how much some of this stuff costs (wish I could afford it !). I am sure we have all noticed how often McIntosh crops up (especially in amplification) - they are looking like a winner and rightly so !
Congratulations on your show's Anniversary! Cheers!
Great systems, it shows our hobby is in safe hands! 👍
Shoutout Mrs. Audiophiliac, much respect.
Thank you Steve you bring joy fun and knowledge to your fans God bless to you and yours music on.
Congratulations !
Congratulations for your channel!
The Lady in the Painting has MANY stories. 😉
Congratulations.
Love seeing these
Happy 7th Anniversry Steve. That is wonderful
Thank you for the feature and happy 7 years Steve!
It would be great to see an episode with Herb and Mrs Audiophiliac!
At about 17:56 Mr.G says "and for subwoofing"😂. I've heard a lot of talk about stereo equipment and never have heard that. Priceless
Congrats Mrs & Mr. Audiophiliac ! Keep it going
Hello again Steve
Whilst internet digging I discovered :
Darko with 342k subs
Steve "the Great" 255k subs
cheapaudioman 251k subs
PS Audio Paul 220k subs
Audiomasterclass 73k subs ( who )?
Golden Sound 42k subs ( who )?
Absolute Sound with 37k subs
Stereophile 35k subs
You're the No.2 with a possible 90k subs just waiting in the wings ! Who knew that there are that many old School Audio folks ?
As a person who enjoyed being a past Audiophiliac Viewer System of the Day submitter… I approve this episode!! 😊
Wow, thanks for sharing all your fan's setups! Just wanted to say Jan from St. Albert's photos were excellent. While his system might be more an image than sound thingy, his profile was my favorite just because of how great those two photos were. How did Jan get the photo of the flash busting on the camera in the shot!
That system at around 3:35 really disappears into the room
Thanks for all the great entertainment.
Congratulations on this anniversary.
Some nice systems
Happy anniversary to both of you :) ... good to see it going. only joined a you guys a while ago. best regards for the future. happy listening
Love this posting. Great to see the Mrs. who to my eyes and ears has some of the same mannerisms that remind me of Herb but much better looking of course. Congratulations on the 7th year of quality postings.
Gobsmacked : utterly astonished , astounded
I've personally had many of these pieces in outright purchases or trades, I was never quite astonished or astounded except for the Klipsch horns . Hmm.
What astonished You ???
Nothing, Klipsch are terrible loudspeakers. I've owned at least 6 pairs. I'm ashamed it took me that long to figure out. 😅
The Gallos are magical. The CDT tweeter is unparalleled. Not dull, not bright. Just right. You've had them in a set up?
@@ryanschipp8513I have been enjoying them for 12 years now!
@ryanschipp8513 they are so satisfying!
Congratulations on your 7 year anniversary !
Wow is it 7 years already. Congratulations. Even more amazing is your still married lol Congratulations to Mrs Audiophiliac for putting up with it all. 😊
Nice shirt, Steve!
Some great systems there especially the first one class system
Congrats..lucky seven..
✌️❤️😊
I can strongly recommend taking a listen to Lavardin amps. Has been quite immersive deliverance every time Ive heard those.
Just recently found this channel! Even if he didn’t know what he was talking about, just based on what he looks like, I would believe every word out of his mouth. He just looks like he would be a genius!
That is extremely perceptive on your part! Keep watching.
Try to review Lavardin amps. They're impressive
Vtkz has painted with too broad s brush. Dsp room-correction certainly helps a good, and decent percentage of room anomalies.
I'd never go on holiday (vacation) if I spent that kind of money on audio gear lol. Cool to see people enjoying it though 😎.
Gallos!
There you go the disease is spreading all jokes aside who knew incredible everybody’s got the virus-good stuff Stevo all the best from Chicago
Beautiful systems!!! I hope to have something decent someday!!! Right now, family soundbar to pixel 7!!! Lol
Robin is your Missus, I assume, Steve?
I'll send photos of my systems as soon as my new headphones arrive (they're too special to miss).
Hello again ,
Just now, on a hunch , I did a brief search for our old pal Tyll !
I found him doing a TV Show in Montana teaching Music . Hmm
and
about one year ago Tyll explained his Nomad Rig "Put" while at some Annual Desert Nomad Gathering .
Tyll is retired , very social and mechanically creative.
He mentioned his history of World Travel and headphone reviewing.
I'd like to Send Tyll a personal message but I don't think he wants correspondence from Audio Hobby People .
Anyway, Tyll & Steve remain the two greatest Audio Reviewers ( of course J Atkinson needs to be included here ).
I met you lads at RMAF 11 which seems like 30 years ago . Hmmm
Tony Kazz -- 80 & fully retired in Florida
Hey, thanks for sharing Tony.
And we talk about Steve's shirts? What about that beautiful Mexican embroidery blouse she's wearing!
More viewer systems, please.
Thanks, there is an entire playlist of just viewer systems! czcams.com/play/PLKlGuF--sgHvun_jfkFp0xCi6mlZtNAB3.html
Felicidades!!!
So much systems, and nearly zero room treatment at all of the system. Only one is the Raidho Setup. Are the Owners all deaf or simply doesnt know that Treatment is the key for Resolution, Precision and overall Quality of the Room. Realy sad that all this expensive quality gear is mostly wasted
It’s not sad if the owners like it. It’s their money and their life. People also care about aesthetics and room treatment is rarely that.
Also, mood matters a great deal in enjoying your system. Ever listen when you’re not in the mood? Doesn’t matter how good the system is. So if the look of their system gets them in the mood more, I’d argue they’re enjoying better sound to their ears.
My room has excellent natural accoustics. There are lots of non parallel surfaces, and the window shades and curtains can be closed. At 30' by 20' by 10' the architectural features of the room and the arrangement of plants and furniture there are no early reflections and the only room node is around 62Hz. I can use the parametric eq in the sub amp to smooth that out.
Room treatments are in the plan for mine, but I need the rest of the system before I can even think about them. The treatment would need to be put in after a real-time analysis of the rooms acoustics is done to see what I need.
wives
I feel like I'm watching a matchup between Woody Allen and Julie Kavner.
One only hopes those systems sound better than they look ;- )
Congrats to this achievement!!
one question (8:43) wrt the system involving a volumio streamer and a Chord Qutest: are these really 3 Jitterbugs in series before AQ Diamond and Qutest? Also, what power source and power connection (cable) has been used on the Qutest? Am asking because am using a Qutest too, supplied in power by a SBooster plus ultra plus ifi DC purifier, same combo on a pro-ject s2 ultra streamer, AQ coffee in between, not a single JB. there (found that less good when inserted in described streamer/dac combo - unlike the predecessor dac).
Happy Anniversary!!
I wonder if Headphone reporting would take you to 500k ?
Hard to argue with the winner, but Nirvana...really, they are not top 10 for me
My ears are bleeding, just looking at these systems.
Beautiful systems, but interesting that for all the money spent almost none of the rooms have treatment and the speakers are almost uniformly placed in corners, a sound killer.
That's the reality, which only makes it more important to see your system. Please send JPEGs and description of the equipment audiophiliac@mail.com

disappointed that my photos didn't make the cut 😞
Thank Jesus!
Don’t get me wrong but, I honestly believe that people buy McIntosh to look at it rather than to listen to it.
@@acescok Yes McIntosh is beautiful to look at. Their build quality is very good and they are made to last. Not my favorite voicing on hi-fi equipment though. For me, they seem to have just a little bit of a heavy sound. But as psychologists will tell you, men are visually stimulated and Mcintosh is beautiful to look at. But as they say in auto racing, "chrome won't get you home".
@@johncain3212 Couldn’t agree more. I for a designer myself finds it really satisfying to look at beautiful McIntosh equipment. but not sure I would prefer to switch them on and listen. I’m most comfortable with something like my Hegel or maybe a Unison Research. I’ve kinda put my rack to the side away from my line of sight and instead put a Laughing Buddha at the focal point. Get’s me to sonic bliss ☺️
That might be true, but I'm sure that many super wealthy people by Ferraris because of the way they look and rarely drive them! It's their money! And lots of people buy Leica cameras and don't use them.
@@acescok I almost went with a lightly used Unison Research S6 Integrated amp. I think they're a very cool design. I have read that they can be a little particular with the equipment you match them with. In the end I went with a Black Ice Audio F-35 tube integrated amp. Just like McIntosh, the face and the transformer are covered in polished black mirror glass and look very nice( Awesome) in my opinion. And their customer service is beyond outstanding. If you call BIA they do answer their phone and most likley you will be talking to Jerred the CEO and the guy who built your amp. I would sure like to audition the Unision Reaserch Little Italy amp someday.
@@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac Very true. Beyond a point, all kinds of luxury are just a statement to give out to the world that “ya, I’m wealthy enough to own and flaunt it”. Much like how, a Rolex and a Timex gives the same time…
Nice Kalocsai blouse!🇭🇺👆
