Amazing...really mind blowing the jewels you got there! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the excelent job you are doing, thanks to you I've learned so much stuff. Salute you from Colombia South America🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hey your NAD cassette player looked very familiar. I bought the 6100 model along with a NAD system in the late 80's, just as cassettes were being phased out. It didn't actually get much use and I unfortunately sold it a decade or more after the purchase. Thanks for the tour!
If it's not already the case, you should put a UV filter coated glass in front of that autographed paper. It's yellowing a lot and writing seems to be faded too. It would preserve it way better.
Very nice equipment you've got there.I don't think you were showing off at all. You were sharing,and I thank you for doing so. It was neat to see your cool stuff. Take it easy and keep on rockin'!!👍👍
I spent most of my life in the Hi Fi trade with a shop in London ( Marble Arch) It's always nice to see someone with a great setup. I had many famous people as customers ranging from John Entwistle to Vangelis who had a studio just over the road from my shop.
Love the reel-to-reels. The Telefunken & Studer look AMAZING. AND you have a DRAGON!!! WOW! I love my 505 and it sounds incredible > I can only imagine the Dragon is THAT MUCH BETTER. Great video and look forward to learning more about the individual pieces of equipment you have! -Brad
Greetings friend, magnificent equipment, many of my time, were robust, beautiful and above all very well made. Having them today is like owning a valuable gem. Enjoy them. (Excuse my English, for I help myself with a translator)
Thanks, this is my first Room video. A lot has changed but I am not going to change my Oppo. It isn't a normal Oppo it's an Audiocom Signature modified Oppo, the results is just beyond anything I aver heard. Simply outstanding. The DAC inside with the mods comes close to my Holo Audio May!
Nice set up. Great equipment, especially the tape decks. Ignore those that critic it. You made your own and you were open to sharing it. And it is greatly appreciated. Keep the video's coming.
Excellent equipment!!! Be proud of your origin!!! Before watching this video I was sure that you had a tube amp...I was mistaken...!! Keep going with the channel...we watch with excitement!! A greek audio enthousiast!
I actually cared about your TV because besides audio equipment you know whats good you also know what looks good. I have 4 Pioneer Kuro TVs and they are amazing even right now.
Very interested in acoustics of room - dimensions, amount of experimentation in speaker placement, bass trapping (if any), absorption of reflections, etc. Very grateful for your generosity with knowledge and perspective, so no pressure on this, but I'm sure it would be super.
He looks about my age and from the CD collection makes me wonder if he went through his TELARC phase ? Lol I sure did. I think it was to see if my equipment could handle it not as much if it was as musical as other offerings. Living the ATC units he has!! Holy shit those are amazing and I understand why he chose them; if a lot of his favorite studios used drivers from the same company while recording the masters, it makes sense to reproduce the sound from the same pedigree of drivers. :) Very cool!
Splendid and one thing I wanted to add for your Dark Side Of The Moon comparison(for whatever reason there's no comments page yet for your terrific comparison. Firstly: What about 8 Track tape?? Next when it comes to digital I'd love to hear a 24bit 96KHz(or even 192KHz) sampling of the vinyls and the tapes to see if the digital recording of those wonderful analogue mediums is spot on or not. The reason I mention this is because thanks to the recent King Crimson box sets which provide Blu-ray audio discs featuring 24bit needle drops of the original vinyl's I've been blown away and most people including myself are unable to tell the difference between the vinyl or the high definition needle drop recording. Once again thanks for showing us the beautiful reel to reel gear and I admire the way you cherish these spectacular mediums. (I've lost count of the amount of people who practically gave away there vinyl collections and all of a sudden wish they hadn't now the vinyl seen is coming back but most importantly because it sounds WAY better than a CD. Blu-ray audio however has got to be the digital equivalent of having virtual vinyl or reel to reel. PS. Nice turntable there. Myself I use a Technics SL-1700 MK2 and I have to say it's still amazing even now. If only more manufacturers produced direct drive turntables. I'm always dubious of all the belt drive tables due to having a cheap one when I first started out in vinyl and discovering the belt was incorrect and the speed was wrong for all my listening up to that point. Bring on the direct drive turntable revolution again manufacturers PLEASE!!!! I'd love to know your thoughts on the quality of the Oppo player there. I've been debating that or the Yamaha equivalent for a nice Blu-ray audio player. Many thanks and keep sharing your audio adventures. Sean.
Hi Sean and thank you for your compliments! Actually, there is s load of comments for the Dark Side (re-open your browser) plus, in the video description (maybe you did not watch the entire video) there are high resolution files 192Khz/24bit for download of all media! 8 track is a very low-fi format that is why I excluded it. The Oppo are great but I got an Audiocom Signature modified Oppo so I really do not know how it performs normally. It is unfortunate that they discontinued the production. Interesting the King Crimson reissues...will check them...
Am i crazy.....i love the mumbo jumbo of cables...makes me feel like i am the king of my domain because i can decipher what goes where!!! Lol !!!! I am.....an Alchohaudioic!!!!
hello, great everything you have, that explains hearing online tests sound so good. With the greatest affection, I think that the speakers and headphones should have the highest budget. The latest technology in speaker materials has a performance that advances more than the other aspects and is very very noticeable. The music is born analogous and is revealed to us by speakers lol. Blessings...I should have looked like a bitter critic
Thanks for the tour. Love the vids and as a child of the 80's analog informed my taste in music. On a non-music topic, I was hoping for some info about at an item that sits over the right side of your head (your right viewers left) in your Pink Floyd comparison vid. It looked to be made of wood and had what appears to be a goat and some rustic folks carved into it. The item just caught my eye and I would be very thankful for some additional info.
Yes, that is the sacred family (Jesus, Joseph and Mary) sculpted by a fantastic old artisan who lives in Northern Italy, Willy Messner. He uses a naif style that resembles Romanic chourches style. Truly amazing. I visited his workshop in Trentino when I was a kid. Now, after more than 15 years I was able to purchase one of his pieces for our wedding anniversary (the so-called wood anniversary, 5 years). Here is his website: www.willymessner.it
Thanks for the tour! Re: your Studer A810; do you play AEG pancakes in the vertical position as displayed? It makes me so nervous to even think about!!!
ANA[DIA]LOG there’s always the option of NAB hubs and reels, but if ur like most of my EU tape buddies, I’m sure you prefer the AEG pancakes. Plus reels are SO expensive these days! I guess another option is to mount horizontally, but a bigger footprint :/. Regardless; great gear / tour :)
Revisiting this video after a year. Wonder if anything has changed? Suppose I might know if I watched every video? Your integrated amp is really interesting. It's a shame they don't seem to be readily available here in the States. Those speakers look pretty serious too. I bet that system sounds great! ✌️from Newport RI.
Great gear! I suggest you look into speaker placement, room acoustics and room treatment, since from what I could tell from the video you would be able to get a MUCH better sound out of your gear by optimizing there parameters.
Indeed! I did a special video on speaker positioning: th-cam.com/video/EmXJqJ4QCt0/w-d-xo.html Fortunately I have a great room, more treatment wouod be great but...wife won't allow more stuff around ;-)
A little close, yes, but can't push them out more than that. In any case I changed speakers. Now I am using a pair that need space on the sides and not behind.
Nice system. I have the Technics SL-1200 G turntable paired with a Lyra Kleos cartridge. I also have a non-modified Oppo 105 D, but it's in my (separate) home theater system. (I have videos on youtube.) Those Studer and Telefunken reel to reel decks are beautiful.
Wow! I love Lyra. Great choice! Soon I will release a new Room Tour. This one is a little different from my updated set...especially on the cassette and amplification side!
Your being modest and it’s not showing off as it’s also the tools of your trade. I will have to find the updated video of what you have now as I’m sure it’s changed a little bit. I liked the Studer, Nakamichi Dragon, ATC speaker the modded Oppo and 1200G turntable.
Nice System there I heard the ATC-SCM 50's and thought they were incredible, tons of bass and presence. I have also owned a Nak Dragon, best deck in the world. I love those Reel to Reels. I hated that I missed my chance to get that Beatles Mono Box set, I have the stereo, but the hunt is always on. I two days ago pick up the Miles Davis 40th Anniversary of Bitches Brew.
Hi Howard, actually things have already changed in my system! Now I am using a tube integrated amp Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP...fantastic! Monoblocks are on my to do list one day!
@@anadialog nice! That's the great thing about hifi. You are always on the look out for the next thing. Love the Beatles autographs. I'm 20 miles north of Liverpool
Impressive set of gear you have. I am based in Cipro and finding it impossible for anyone to repair/service my A810. Please may I have the details of the company which serviced yours?
Thanks! Wel, that is an old room tour. Many things have changed. My Studer is still here though. It was not serviced by a company but a special guy that I know is not repairing anymore. I know another guy here in Italy who does a great job on a variety of tape gear, Giovanbattista Currado. Try writing to him, mentioning that I gave you his contact, maybe he can help: www.revoxa77.com/
Nice video! ATC's are good speakers but they required a lot of power to sound properly. Most of the recording studios around the world use ATC monitors. What kind of rack's are you using?
your not showing off ..your supposed to show what you got thats the idea....awesome video.....you sound very nervous....chill out makes it smoother,,,,
I don't doubt for a second that your stereo must sound superb but, to me, it has not enough heavyweight killers, I need much more to be impressed by the gear. The attic is marvellous, maybe a wooden floor would sound the same but would score higher in aesthetics department. I was totally impressed when you said your prime tongue wasn't English, I thought, how well this guy vocalizes the words that I could understand him even without the help of english subtitles! By the way, your reel to reel machines are extraordinary but it is an area where I'm not a connoisseur.
@@anadialog I own R1, ES and SACD 1 series from Sony, big amplifiers, heavy sources and pre amps etc. But my listening room is by far much less than yours, my loudspeakers system is TAOC FC-3000 Coroner + REL Stentor Sub. Believe it or not, the 90 per cent of the work in my everyday set up is accomplished via a humble Yamaha NT-CD670 😂, and it sounds great!!!! It's true that my room is only 11 square meters but it is acoustically treated. With the passing of the years I've become more like a collector than an audiophile and the experience has taught me that no necessarily the most expensive has to be superior per se...
@@anadialog see this if you don't mind, but please! Don't be cruel ha ha ha th-cam.com/video/Ri5YGsdIIKU/w-d-xo.html Do you know you looks like Stereophile reviewer Art Dudley?
It was quick but it was there, a Lehamnn Black Cube. A lot of that equipment has been changed and additional gear has been implemented. Soon I will do a Room Tour 2.0
I’ve watched your video about the dark side of the moon and I was thinking “this guy speaks perfect English, but I bet he’s Italian!”. Found the answer here on this video 😁 Anyway... c’hai qualcosa di Zappa? Tanta roba comunque 👍
Piccolissime cose. Una cosa che mi ha convinto che potevi essere italiano è stato un gesto della mano per dire “tanto tempo fa”, che penso sia una nostra esclusiva. In ogni caso bel canale e con Zappa penso sarebbe interessante confrontare LP e CD visto che li ha modificato pesantemente.
Ha ha! Thank you. Yes, you are right...if you look closely it is in the back, behind the cables on the left side. It is a Lehmann Black Cube SE. It is completely tilted and against the wall. Not very nice-looking but functional...here is a video where I discuss about it a little: th-cam.com/video/zOPD7lKqEP0/w-d-xo.html
Hi, i really want to get a vintage reel to reel tape machine. I don`t want to use it as a functioning machine i just want one because i think they look beautiful, like a piece of sculpture. I especially like the look of the vintage models with silver and chrome facias with the silver dials and knobs. Thanks for sharing, i always enjoy your videos and learning from you about sound and equipment.
Thank you! Well, among the most beautiful I would say the Studer A80 but it is big. Among the portable ones I used o have a NAGRA IV-S...probably the most beautiful piece of gear ever created...I miss it dearly! Other solutions for aesthetics are perhaps the Technics RS line (check my video to see some and more examples: th-cam.com/video/EnUhGjc_Er8/w-d-xo.html). Unfortunately the gorgeous ones are also the most expensive! A cheap solution may be the Pioneer RT-909...I would check ebay and write in the description 'broken' or 'not working' you should find cheaper deals.
I'm very sorry to inform you but those BEATLES Autographs are not authentic. They are however tied to the Beatles. They are a set signed by either Mal Evans or Neil Aspineil, the Beatles road managers. They would sign for them when not available.
Fortunately that is not the case. They were signed together with Bob Barry who personally told my mother that he collected the autographs! In fact it was an auction win! eu.jsonline.com/story/communities/lake-country/things-to-do/2018/08/27/milwaukee-radio-icon-bob-barry-talk-emceeing-beatles/1108188002/
That's Bob Barry and WOKY September 4th at the Auditorium I was at that Beatles concert. I have never seen one of your post before and TH-cam suggested it…Wow do you or did you live in Milwaukee….or should I ask did your Mom most likely because she got the autographs……Most cool…Ciao!

Salute you from Colombia South America🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Lol I love that lil nervous jogging in place motion you did in the beginning
A lot of people told me to go pee...!🤣
He chew a gum with his ass :-)

Amazing Studer RtR Absolute star of the show!
Here (and part 2b) if you want to see it in action: th-cam.com/video/Yly9Ubzs5iY/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful equipment; thanks for sharing. The Beatles' autographs are a treasure. Happy Holidays.
Thanks! Happy Holidays to you too!
Very cool. I grew up with vinyl and I’m just getting back into it.
Great video and a wonderful collection of music and gear.
Thanks man!
Be proud to be Italian, sei un grande
I am!! I am 50% but I always declare myself as Italian

Thanks! I need to do an updated version of my room. I did do another one here th-cam.com/video/BnGE5RkbBBw/w-d-xo.html but that is old too!
If it's not already the case, you should put a UV filter coated glass in front of that autographed paper. It's yellowing a lot and writing seems to be faded too. It would preserve it way better.
Good idea!
You have some cool stuff in that room but by far the coolest thing is that framed Beatles autograph.
Dude don't invite me over. I'd never leave hahaha. This is the coolest room ever man.
20:02 After you said "I speak mostly Italian in my life." you zoom in on La Pulce D'Acqua by Angelo Branduardi, which is really like :)
Very nice equipment! Love the Telefunken, and Studer reel to reels.
Thanks!
I knew that you must have had an 810 lurking around somewhere. I miss the two Ampex 350’s I had back in the old days.
Fantastic place with beautiful analogue machines!!!
Keep still dude!..jeez!!
Very nice equipment you've got there.I don't think you were showing off at all. You were sharing,and I thank you for doing so. It was neat to see your cool stuff. Take it easy and keep on rockin'!!👍👍
Thank you Ralph for your nice comment!
REEL to reel that’s serious hardware
Really respect your taste, wish I could hear it in person,Absolutely beautiful analog gear my friend.
Thanks man!
I spent most of my life in the Hi Fi trade with a shop in London ( Marble Arch) It's always nice to see someone with a great setup. I
had many famous people as customers ranging from John Entwistle to Vangelis who had a studio just over the road from my shop.
cool system
Love the reel-to-reels. The Telefunken & Studer look AMAZING. AND you have a DRAGON!!! WOW! I love my 505 and it sounds incredible > I can only imagine the Dragon is THAT MUCH BETTER. Great video and look forward to learning more about the individual pieces of equipment you have! -Brad
Oh, The Telefunken M15 is gorgeous!
Greetings friend, magnificent equipment, many of my time, were robust, beautiful and above all very well made. Having them today is like owning a valuable gem. Enjoy them. (Excuse my English, for I help myself with a translator)
Thanks Alfredo!
Thanks for the room tour, very high quality equipment. Looking forward to your next video.
Perfect equipment, amazing Telefunken and Studer. Only what you might add is high-end network player preferable also for play option for CD and SACD.
Thanks, this is my first Room video. A lot has changed but I am not going to change my Oppo. It isn't a normal Oppo it's an Audiocom Signature modified Oppo, the results is just beyond anything I aver heard. Simply outstanding. The DAC inside with the mods comes close to my Holo Audio May!
Great set up. Hope you have those signatures behind UV Resistant glass. Won’t be long before they fade away to nothing.
Nice set up. Great equipment, especially the tape decks. Ignore those that critic it. You made your own and you were open to sharing it. And it is greatly appreciated. Keep the video's coming.
Thank you very much Johnny for your nice words!
Excellent equipment!!! Be proud of your origin!!! Before watching this video I was sure that you had a tube amp...I was mistaken...!! Keep going with the channel...we watch with excitement!!
A greek audio enthousiast!
Chris, you were actually right...a few weeks after the video I changed my amp with a Primalune tube amp....simply incredible!
Glad to hear about this change!! I am waiting for the video concerning this great sound machine!!!
Im glad you shared this with me.....thank you very much.
Great video! Great setup, great components! Great room.
nice acrylic cover on the r2r. I should look at one for my otari MX 55 m-t I just picked up.
I actually cared about your TV because besides audio equipment you know whats good you also know what looks good. I have 4 Pioneer Kuro TVs and they are amazing even right now.
Kuro right here as well!
Hai un canale bellissimo che seguo con grande interesse. Saluti dall'Italia!
Great room tour. Love the Beatles signed sheet and Cthulhu, in addition to all the other audio goodies.
I want a dragon...one day. Nice tour!
That is incredible
We love room tour !
Stud A810..Man..you are in heaven
I agree! only A20 or A80 are equal or better if properly serviced and in good condition. The Telefunken is even better in terms of playback.
Love the oms sounds like Peter Gabriel he does that alot!
Sei un grande 👍complimenti per tutti i tuoi video 👌
Grazie Mario!
Bellissima collezione!
Grazie!
Great job man!!!
Fantastic Analog/Digital setup!
Nice!! Unique system, great stuff!!

ana[dia]log 2 Revox B, Akai, Grundig, ASC 6000. I like them all.
Very nice!!
Congrats on The Beatles autograph....
What is written at the bottom center...below G. Harrison autograph?
Sorry for my late answer...its the autograph of Berry Woky who got the paper signed by the fab four...
Собрание достойных аппаратов! Молоток ! А кто усиливает все это ? Крохотный AVI ?
Good channel informative
your not showing off ..your supposed to show what you got thats the idea....awesome video.....you sound very nervous....chill out makes it smoother,,,,
I know, I have no idea why I was so anxious!
I don't doubt for a second that your stereo must sound superb but, to me, it has not enough heavyweight killers, I need much more to be impressed by the gear. The attic is marvellous, maybe a wooden floor would sound the same but would score higher in aesthetics department.
I was totally impressed when you said your prime tongue wasn't English, I thought, how well this guy vocalizes the words that I could understand him even without the help of english subtitles!
By the way, your reel to reel machines are extraordinary but it is an area where I'm not a connoisseur.
Thank Salvador! I understand, I think you are referring to a very high end section...gime me an example if you don't mind...
@@anadialog I own R1, ES and SACD 1 series from Sony, big amplifiers, heavy sources and pre amps etc. But my listening room is by far much less than yours, my loudspeakers system is TAOC FC-3000 Coroner + REL Stentor Sub.
Believe it or not, the 90 per cent of the work in my everyday set up is accomplished via a humble Yamaha NT-CD670 😂, and it sounds great!!!! It's true that my room is only 11 square meters but it is acoustically treated.
With the passing of the years I've become more like a collector than an audiophile and the experience has taught me that no necessarily the most expensive has to be superior per se...
@@anadialog see this if you don't mind, but please! Don't be cruel ha ha ha

Do you know you looks like Stereophile reviewer Art Dudley?
Nice machines indeed :-)
You have a Studer and Nakamichi Dragon! Respect!
What about the Telefunken?! ;-) Thanks man!
Thanks you for your system tour; i am missing a phono preamp .......im a correct? Kind regards
It was quick but it was there, a Lehamnn Black Cube. A lot of that equipment has been changed and additional gear has been implemented. Soon I will do a Room Tour 2.0
I’ve watched your video about the dark side of the moon and I was thinking “this guy speaks perfect English, but I bet he’s Italian!”. Found the answer here on this video 😁 Anyway... c’hai qualcosa di Zappa? Tanta roba comunque 👍
Accidenti! Bravo, come lo hai capito?! Certo, grande zappa ho alcuni album ma purtroppo tutto su CD...
Piccolissime cose. Una cosa che mi ha convinto che potevi essere italiano è stato un gesto della mano per dire “tanto tempo fa”, che penso sia una nostra esclusiva. In ogni caso bel canale e con Zappa penso sarebbe interessante confrontare LP e CD visto che li ha modificato pesantemente.
I have the OPP0-105 as well but not the version you have, love it! Have a Nak aswell but only a Dr-10 but it still sounds Amazing!
Good job Richard!
Very nice set up. Thanks for sharing. Where is the phono stage? I missed that part!
Ha ha! Thank you. Yes, you are right...if you look closely it is in the back, behind the cables on the left side. It is a Lehmann Black Cube SE. It is completely tilted and against the wall. Not very nice-looking but functional...here is a video where I discuss about it a little: th-cam.com/video/zOPD7lKqEP0/w-d-xo.html
Got it. Thanks :)
Hi, i really want to get a vintage reel to reel tape machine. I don`t want to use it as a functioning machine i just want one because i think they look beautiful, like a piece of sculpture. I especially like the look of the vintage models with silver and chrome facias with the silver dials and knobs.
Thanks for sharing, i always enjoy your videos and learning from you about sound and equipment.
Thank you! Well, among the most beautiful I would say the Studer A80 but it is big. Among the portable ones I used o have a NAGRA IV-S...probably the most beautiful piece of gear ever created...I miss it dearly! Other solutions for aesthetics are perhaps the Technics RS line (check my video to see some and more examples: th-cam.com/video/EnUhGjc_Er8/w-d-xo.html). Unfortunately the gorgeous ones are also the most expensive! A cheap solution may be the Pioneer RT-909...I would check ebay and write in the description 'broken' or 'not working' you should find cheaper deals.
Hi, thanks for the information. Much appreciated.
I had no idea you could have vertical pancake reels.
Yeah! Check the various solutions here: th-cam.com/video/Yly9Ubzs5iY/w-d-xo.html
I'm very sorry to inform you but those BEATLES Autographs are not authentic. They are however tied to the Beatles. They are a set signed by either Mal Evans or Neil Aspineil, the Beatles road managers. They would sign for them when not available.
Fortunately that is not the case. They were signed together with Bob Barry who personally told my mother that he collected the autographs! In fact it was an auction win! eu.jsonline.com/story/communities/lake-country/things-to-do/2018/08/27/milwaukee-radio-icon-bob-barry-talk-emceeing-beatles/1108188002/
That's Bob Barry and WOKY September 4th at the Auditorium I was at that Beatles concert. I have never seen one of your post before and TH-cam suggested it…Wow do you or did you live in Milwaukee….or should I ask did your Mom most likely because she got the autographs……Most cool…Ciao!
Wow Carl!! You were actually there!! Yes, my mother IS from Milwaukee...incredible!
Hi there. Talking about the oppo, you mentioned you use it for converting.. what do you mean?. Cheers
