I love seeing the vintage pieces and learning out their features and how you rate them. It’s all good stuff. I’m happy to hear you’ll continue to showcase your awesome components. You have many pieces I truly covet and love. When you did the ADS speakers I was in vintage nirvana. Also very interested in the collecting aspects.
That will always be core to the channel, so much more to review, so stay tuned. Also, more ADS eventually. I would still like to interview someone that has worked at or has in-depth knowledge of the ADS history. Maybe someone will reach out at some point.
Scott , great channel ,you could talk vintage audio all day and I can listen to it all day .
1 ) advertising video 👍
2) You could do history on the audio pioneers like Paul klipsch , bob Fulton , James Lansing , frank McIntosh, William Johnson , Rudy Bozak …. Could be very interesting
Thanks for all your hard work
This is a big topic and one I have started slowly putting together. I have one lined up and have been slowly putting information together. Not a "high volume" brand, but a cool one that will be interesting. I am hoping to build on it going forward.
The ad videos are my favorite and learning about the history of these companies. This by far my fav audio channel. I am a collector and restorer.
Thanks for the kind comments. Great to hear you enjoy the content!
You have a great channel, Scott. I have watched your channel awhile and decided to add a comment, since I am essentially a vintage audio user/ collector as well. I think you have a great collection and many good ideas, including “memberships”. Suggestions: 1) ask about what audio or speakers that your audience has? 2) Why not feature some equipment/ pics of your audience members, that you find interesting or unusual. I think this participation could add members. I have many original vintage audio catalogs in the 70s, as well as ads,
And the gear. Another good discussion: 3) where would a collector go to either find repairs, or to sell/ swap?
Bringing in the collections or gear of others is a great idea and one others have relayed as well, so that will certainly make the short list. The repair shop list is one idea I had as well some time ago in one of my "brain storming" sessions, but I think it needs to be moved up the list a good bit. I do get several questions looking for recommendations. On the membership area, still mulling on it. I want it to be worthwhile, so still figuring out the specifics. It will happen, but only when it is right.
You fill a very interesting and neglected niche of audio history. Keep up the amazing work, you and your channel are very interesting and appreciated
Thanks David!
I totally agree. Awesome insights that can help and support other people in their decision.
Yes indeed. I will continue adding that type of content as much as possible.
This is minor, but I’d like to see shots of receivers and amps with the covers off when you do a review. Also, an assessment of the build quality would be great. Thanks for all the great content.
I have been considering to start adding some interior shots, but it would be during the close-ups, so there would most often not be any real commentary. Still need to work that out.
@@stereoniche During the close up section would be perfect.
I really appreciate your channel. Because of your Yamaha CR 1020 review, I ended up buying a perfectly restored CR-2020. It sounds and looks sublime!
Glad I could help in your vintage audio experience! Keep those wonderful pieces going for the next generation to enjoy.
Scott- always enjoy your videos and keep up the good work. I definitely enjoy the ad videos. I was putting together my first audio system in 1977 and the ad videos bring back memories.
They do cover a LOT of ground and I enjoy them tremendously as well. 1977 was a great year for audio. Thanks for chiming in here and stay tuned.
Thanks for all your effort Bruv! Your laid back informative style, knowledge and passion is greatly appreciated. Love from Canada. 💞
My pleasure! I need to get up to Canada some time, especially now when it is so HOT down here!
I just discovered your channel, and I enjoy listening and watching. Thank you for the great content.....
Welcome aboard!
I'm glad there is a place for all this old gear to go. As a retired EE and 50 y audiophile, I have no interest in old electronics or speakers. The designs and performance of today's gear just keeps me wanting to upgrade, just like I was 21 years old. What I want to see is solid state power amps from the beginning to about 20 years ago. Take a look inside and maybe even power up a few speakers.
Well, vintage is anything over 20 yrs, so will eventually get to the late 90's early 00's at some point.
Curator. Preserver of history. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
I'm just happy you share your fantastic collection. We're about the same age so your collection is my era.
Thanks for watching!
Scott, another great video! Why not offer one-on-one advice for a fee like Steve Guttenberg? I have quite a few questions about my vintage collection and am finally putting together a "reference" system. I'd be happy to pay to hear your opinion on a way forward.
Interesting. Not something I have ever considered. I would be reluctant to offer much in the way of sound preferences as I think that is too subjective, but, I could offer up advice on collecting in total. Maybe make it a 1:1 time once a month or something. Will mull on that a bit. Great suggestion.
Hi Scott, great video! I like the idea of Live streaming, but maybe have specific themes? I have seen others streams where it is just 20 mins of hey so and so how are you? I love the idea of a tour! I think you and I have had very similar pieces, but you just have way more! lol I would like to actually hear head to head comparisons of the gear you feature, I know listening on our gear through YT. is not the same, but I do feel you can get a pretty good sense of the differences. I commend you on all your hard work, I don't think a lot of people realize the amount of effort that goes into making good quality videos! What if you had a way that subscribers could share their equipment and experiences? Maybe give a nice Streoniche hat to the system of the week or whatever :) ? BTW I just picked up another fine Sansui amp, AU-555a, needed some love, but well worth it! Cheers from Canada Dan!
A themed Live Stream is a great idea. I too have noticed in other Live Streams that it sort of just bounces around with a lot of dead space. I think the Tour thing would be a lot of fun, it will have to be a bit of a lottery kind of thing, but something that could be figured out. The head to head sound capture would be a big change. I would have to think through that a bit. The subscriber sharing is something I have mulled over and would create some good content if I can get some good video. Sansui AU-555a!! I had a beautiful example years ago with the original box and I sold it... to someone in Canada!
You're doing a great job. Please continue to share what you feel comfortable sharing.
I very much enjoy learning from your videos. My parents or maybe older cousins were into this equipment. So, I have fond memories of hearing the classic receivers and big speakers but much of this was before my time of knowing the details. I am not much for paid memberships, I'm patient to wait for the video. If I were to pay for a patreon or channel membership it would be to discuss a topic such as synergy of putting together a system or specifics on setting a tone arm, stylus, perferred ways to bring equipment back to life with the person or people behind a channel. I saw posts on forums and classifieds and like the ideas. Getting the business to work behind it, I have no idea. If you endorsed products as some youtubers do. I completely understand as it takes time to put together videos especially on a regular schedule. As viewer I try to watch the ads, click the like button all that stuff.
Thanks very much for the input and your support. The extended membership side of things is certainly more time spent just to create the new content, hence the need for it to be covered in some way by additional revenue, but I need to feel like the value add is there. All of the comments are greatly appreciated.
If you’re looking for ideas, maybe do a blind test of your gear. Have a fellow vintage fanatic set it up and you won’t know what set up of yours is being used so it would eliminate any prejudice (I know you love all of your babies though). It’d be fun comparing all of the great stuff you own not knowing which is which.
LOL, that would be a nail biter finding out I liked the Advents over the TZ9's, for example.
I like all of your content. The history or back stories are informative as well as your opinions on the gear. I love vintage gear. However the paid membership thing is something I don't do. But if it helps the channel I still respect it. Keep up the great work...
Thanks for the feedback. I know the membership part will not be for the majority, but that will be needed to fund other stuff I cannot fit in to the regular channel. The regular videos will always be the core of StereoNiche though.
"Vintage Audio: I said it was like being in Heaven. The Reverend rebukingly and rather pointedly advised me to make the most of it then." Apologies to Mark Twain.
Can't argue with a comparative to Twain.
Hi Steve, just found your channel. I love it. As an audiophile who grew up amongst the original Hifi equipment, I love the way you are going with this channel. I haven't seen many of your videos and I look forward to watching them, learning from you, and reminiscing..
Any chance that you would consider selling any if your gear to make room for new " old" gear ? Just a thought. Be well...
Welcome aboard! I typically go by Scott, but you can call me Steve. :-)
You have a year and half of videos to catch up on, sounds like some great binge watching in your future! LOL
I do periodically sell gear. What goes first are duplicates. Given the extent of my collection and although I do have quite a bit of space, I still need to sell things off periodically so that, yes, I can accommodate new "old" gear I haven't yet experienced.
Scott, love your channel as is, but would like some insight as far as, is your listening room and "Warehouse" part of your actual house, an addition to house, a separate building or what?
Hey Kevin. Thanks for watching. The property we bought years ago was owned prior by a cabinet maker and it is 5 acres in size. There are 3 buildings roughly 75' from the house. The prior owner added on to one building, then extended it from the backside with adding a 30 x 50 foot building. What you see in the videos is the front entrance area, my "showroom" that is about 17 x 32. There are two other rooms adjacent to this room that most often are not seen, but I have plans for one of them to include in some videos. The "warehouse" is attached to this building through the swinging doors seen in some of the videos. In addition, there is a 3rd building off the backside of the "warehouse" that is accessible through a rear door and that building is also 30 x 50. I divided it in half years ago, one half houses my wood workshop type tools, the other half is storage for some additional gear. Mostly lower end type stuff. In all, I have more "shop floor" sq footage than what I have in my house.
I like the idea of seeing some restoration videos. Like you say, it probably won't be at the soldering iron level, but even some tips and tricks for cosmetic restoration would be helpful.
While I won't be able to get any of the technical repairs on video, I can do a summary of what was done. I have a Marantz 2500 in process now, not really any cosmetic issue, but getting some internal restoration, so I'll include that in the upcoming video. There are several items that will need both, extensively, so those will be fun to document and share.
Your referencing two areas of design, and execution in Stereo Audio: The Sonic (TRULY innovative Pre, and Power amp Circuit Artistry that really yielded the rich high-fidelity goods) &
The Aesthetic: (Loudspeaker, and Component Artistry that Denmark 🇩🇰 lit a fire toward, and inspired the greater world at large). Format Wars, and noted industry recognition of obscure, small companies that crafted brilliant work, but sadly couldn’t weather the economic storms of business, and marketing. And today! Very successful corporate strategists w/ vast, Enormous capital reserves have found artisans whose formulas have already taken Audio to its Zenith, with distortion levels SO LOW, its eerily frightening, and thrilling at the same time! It’s awesome.
🤔 hmmmm.....
@@stereoniche 🤔I second that...
Scott, I really enjoy your channel and I like the Speaker comparisons between the Advent and other brand speakers. The only thing that I can think of that I would like to see is a review of some Technics products. But I really like what your doing and your doing a great job and I would not change anything
I appreciate that! The Advent comparisons will continue on, even have a JBL comparison coming soon which I know is right up your alley. :-) I do need to add more Technics to my collection though, always looking!
your making some good content keep up the good work
Will do!
Interview Bob Carver about Phase Linear..Carver Challenge..,Sunfire etc!
Would love to, if I can get his attention! But yes, in general, I would love to get some time with all of those that have contributed to making this great gear.
Love ur passion; keep up the good videos… very educational
Thanks, will do!
Maybe an online swap meet/auction type format where collectors could purchase/trade equipment? Enjoy your content you provide now.
I've bantered that around in my head a bit, just not sure how to do it with no potential risks. Still noodling on that one.
There were some great ideas and sound years ago that have often been lost to time and forgotten. There are vintage speakers like B&W matrix that are more desirable to me than the new diamond. Same for Kef.
Yes. On the gear side, there is a near limitless number of gear I would love to review, but I just need to get my hands on it. Checking out the systems/collections of others is one way to showcase more, but just as in-depth as I would like.
I am sure some of your regular watchers have some awesome equipment and maybe you could do some road trips.
Great idea and I think I will start incorporating it into some videos going forward.
Sei un vero appassionato di vintage ❤
¡Ser observado por otros apasionados fanáticos del audio vintage! :-)
@@stereoniche grande 💯💪
Pensa ho un amplificatore valvolare degli anni 40 eredità dei miei genitori,che suona da vero audiofilo, progetto che ancora oggi è all' avanguardia per la semplicità.
Maybe reserving time at the end of your videos to showcase a viewers music room or like gear.
Just a thought.
Great idea. I have denoted it as something to start requesting.
Definitely a great channel. I’d like to see some interior shots when you do a review of a receiver or amp. Just taking the cover off would be enough. A subjective review of the build quality would be good too. Thanks.
As Shakespeare once said, " much ado about nothing". I'm still waiting for the dancing girls, collapsed stereo speakers, boats going over a waterfall. Please something worthwhile....
Oh, you must be looking for that "other" channel. :-)
