For all those people with their comments about listening to a cd instead of a vinyl record: spinning and listening to a vinyl record is also an experience of taking care of the record and taking it out of a big sleeve with big pictures and text and putting it gently on your record player. Instead of taking a round piece of plastic out of a plastic case, slamming it in the cd player and looking at small pictures and text with a magnifying glass. And yes, i play records as well as cd's. I cannot afford a record player that comes close to the sound of my cd players and still i enjoy spinning vinyl......
I agree, playing a vinyl record is a great experience. I enjoy it a lot, but I also enjoy playing my cassettes because a good recording played on a good cassette deck is also great. The sound of opening the cassette box, the feeling in the hand... But I also enjoy playing my CD/SACD/DVD/BR a lot. It isn't necessary something an experience as you have described. Selecting the CD, opening the box, extracting that shiny disc, opening the CD tray, seeing how the tray closes and the music begins to sound in a pristine mode... it's a great pleasure.
I have a dysfunctional relationship with vinyl - every time I try to quit it for good in favor of the much more convenient digital, I get a reminder of the sweet sweet sound you just can't get elsewhere... Great system and choice of music.
lol It costs a lot of money purchasing good vinyls these days as well, but we can't help it. It just sounds good. Thank you for watching, and happy new year! :-)
I am still amazed as to how we can put multiple sounds on a grove played with a single needle and have it come out so real. Tape and CD and digital is also just as magical, as wall as the picture, moving pictures on a screen CRT or LCD screen.
Wow, this might be the "closest to the real thing, true to life live performance" sounding system I have ever heard. It's truly amazing, you did a great job; thanks for sharing.
I heard every scratch of the vinyl record and go gladly back to my digital recordings and my AKG studio headphones. 😊 Bought my first CD back in 1984 and never went back to vinyl; just can't stand the scratches.
@@HiFiImmersionYes, it's all about preference, and I respect it too. Very impressive hardware, just not my cup of tea. By the way, the most "difficult" song that I ever encountered on my analogue equipment back in the 1980s was "She's leaving home" from The Beatles (Sgt Pepper album). The harp solo in the beginning was for all my equipment too "clunky", it got really distorted, and the first time I heard it the way it was meant to be heard was after buying the CD. It would be interesting if your equipment can play it with clarity.
@@franzfrunzner4086 We will check if we can record it. If so, we will definitely share it with you. 👍 By the way Beatles’ songs on TH-cam are blocked by Apple ltd (not the Apple Inc), so we will need to see whether it is possible.
Me too. I bought into CDs about 1985. But I have to admit that the sound quality of my first player sucked and I started to listen to less music but didn't realize why until later. Totally different story nowadays.
i have over 1,000 albums and a very good turntable, a few have the odd scratch, i keep them in mint condition and clean them, hardly any surface noise at all, worth it over CD for a better sound (-:
There was a time when I would dream of such a set. Yet now I find this is as an extreme example of - "when music is used to listen to the equipment" - contrary when equipment is used to listen to music. Not to mention that such overkill of an equipment always is a compensation of smth. And yes, I do not envy at all. I find relations with people to be much more important to invest your time and money. This room will never be used for family or friend gatherings.
You see those speakers - big and with horn tweeters on top - concentrate on that, the rest is just silly and useless, especially those cables as thick as firehoses. Speakers should be the focus - sensitive, active and with well controlled directivity.

@@HiFiImmersionThis can be likened to any passion or hobby in which the pursuer has the means to explore extreme possibilities.

Good morning 🌅, Great sound stage, though I am listening to this on my very large transmission line loudspeaker cabinets, I built 40+ years ago, which I’ve just rebuilt with new drivers,SEAS 150w + NAD , now living in France,
That sounds OK for a You Tube video. Swapping back and forth between this and a CD quality stream does show the limits of You Tube though. Id love to hear this system in the room though. That would be awesome. Great choice of song btw.
I've got ribbon tweeter bookshelves and it sounds pretty good. Can't imagine what it must sound like in person. You could probably get Mr Knopfler to come and play this tune himself for the same price that this setup is worth but only once. That means that the more you play it you are actually saving a fortune. 😁
Amazing sound quality. What's your procedure for cleaning the vinyl? Also, are the dampening supports on the turntable mag-lev or are you just using mass to absorb extraneous vibration?
Thank you. 🙂 We understand they use an Audiodesk Vinyl Cleaner. As for the turntable, you can check out the interview: th-cam.com/video/7FBdeVXo0B0/w-d-xo.html
Wie dem auch sei: Vinyl überzeugt mich nicht gegenüber digitaler Tonträger ! Und wenn der Plattenspieler 1000.000 kostet! Besser als die Neuman-Schneidanlage VMS 70 oder die VMS 80 kann er nicht sein!
Die Qualität einer Musikanlage dadurch beurteilen, indem man die Musik dann auf einem anderen Gerät wiedergibt (In den meisten Fällen wahrscheinlich die "hervorragenden" Lautsprecher eines Handys oder Tablets)... Ja das macht wirklich Sinn!
@@HiFiImmersion It sounded good, but I know it's not even close to being there. At least I have a decent system and didn't listen on ear buds or laptop speakers. lol
We have been recording the sounds in 24bit/96kHz, but we are trying to go for 32bit/192kHz soon. We found that uploading more information to TH-cam has better results. It's quite interesting. Thank you for watching! :-)
I think you are also hearing the voicing/tonality of the speakers and associated electronics as well the acoustics of the room vs just the "dry" signal you hear from the Tidal stream. What would be a more apples to apples comparison is the folks at HiFi Immersions taking the output of the phono preamp and using that as the audio source for the recording vs a pair of microphones in the room.
My second fave straits song and if you dont have horns forget it it’s true. Over on my channel I know my speakers are an EYESORE but I come for the sound not the looks. Unless there are VU meters lol.
‘Jewellery’ is what they called HI-FI when I was on a rational acoustics smaart course - time aligning venue PA. Buy a Mac mini, a benchmark dac, and a pair of Genelec 1038’s. Everything will be just fine. x
Surprised at the midband texture timber un-boxiness of that large bass mid-driver. Obviously a lot of trial and listening - in concert with modern tools and software - were applied in this design.
@@HiFiImmersion SNAP i have the same one & while this track is my fave there is a manufacturing defect on mine on the first track calling Elvis. It’s enough i can love with it but annoys me I must lodge it on Discogs have not gotten around to it. Still it’s a marvellous album and that sultry hooks me all the time. The room noise (since I’m all about what you can’t or don’t listen to on a recording ) is wonderful Wilkinsons performance at Abbey road is a fine example of the art of silence although for me his track hopelessly coping featuring Thabo is like a surgeons scalpel it cuts everytime. While the mastering is far from perfect should you be like me and on the hunt for that sumptuous sound be sure to check out an indie outfit from Baton Rouge called Riarosa with a track like…. Maybe try better than nothing it has a dream pop sound that while it has that almost fleetwod rumors vibe to it it’s just good. Anyway stay safe & keep spinnin’. I’m off to DJ a wedding and while my hi-fi videos are not quite as sharp as your I think we can all get a HI-Five all around. 👋 stay safe.
@@bluesky6361 I speak Bang and Olufsen language fluently so I get your facetious rebuttal more than others would. The price would have been handy info for a HiFi nut like myself. My current set up cost in American dollars about $4 thousand which is nowhere near where I would like to be but having a wife and two children means that I will have to wait until they all leave me.

Thank you for your comment. The frequency range you specified is pretty specific. Could you kindly explain to us how you figured out if you don't mind? It will help us improve. Thank you. 🙂
@@HiFiImmersion happy to oblige. I'm a recording, mixing and mastering engineer with four decades experience so I'm very sensitive to any anomalies. What I'm hearing is some resonance and unevenness in the frequency response in the range I mentioned. It really sounds to me to be most likely a combination of room modes and mic placement causing a small amount of comb filtering. It isn't a major issue and I don't think it is an inadequacy in the speakers, microphones, turntable or signal chain. I think you'd find moving the mics would alter the results but may not necessarily make things better or worse. I must say though that I have little doubt the experience I person would not exhibit this phenomena to any significant degree. Human hearing is pretty good at compensating for such anomalies due to the simple fact that the brain smooths anomalies like this very effectively with even the slightest head movements. That is something you don't get with static microphones. The fact that this system sounds so good in a video on TH-cam recorded through microphones in a physical room is a testament to the quality of the system.
vinyl->stylus->hi-fi system->SPEAKERS>air+room->mics->preamp->digital audio recording->post->youtube processing->random D/A->random speakers = ridiculous to expect final result has anything to do with that opulent stereo. what exactly is the goal here?
Pretty cool, and I get the appeal; but, how many viewers understand: It's a recording; Played back through speakers that are mic'd; Uploaded; Playback is through (mostly really crappy) computer speakers. There's zero fidelity in this. I'm not dumping on the creator, seems like a truly remarkable system, just 99% of the population has no idea what actual quality playback is (if it can be achieved). That said, the creator knows how to mic (understanding all the broken links in "how we got here"), wasn't half bad played back on an inexpensive headphone amp a pair of ATH-M70x.
@@JC-iz2lv We are doing our best to record the system as closely as what you would hear at the sweet spot of that particular place and try to upload as much information as possible. Hopefully the audio quality of TH-cam improves over time so that you can enjoy more. Thank you for watching. 🙂
Was mir noch auffällt: Die Mikrofonanordnung ist alles andere als professionell! Die überbreite A/B erzeugt kaum einen definierten Mitteneindruck! Eine M/S mit einem Druck- und einem Druckgradientenempfänger wäre weit besser !
Thank you for watching. We try to record the sound you hear from the sweet spot of the particular place as closely as possible, so the microphone placement is rather unorthodox.
@@HiFiImmersion Dann wäre doch der richtige Ort am Hörplatz mit einem Kunstkopf. Egal wie: Sie haben in jedem Fall die Raumakustik mit auf Ihrer Aufnahme.
@@HiFiImmersion Was habt Ihr denn für Mikrofone? Sind es Kugeln oder Nieren ? Und wenn Kugeln, sind es echte Druckempfänger oder synthetische Druckempfänger mit Doppelmembrankapsel?
At least all of the blinking stuff seems to work. The only thing annoying me is that constant humming aound in the background. Probably coming from the nuclear plant nearby to drive this bunch of energy eaters.
While this sounds insanely good, some people can totally waste bucket loads of money to gain incremental improvements in sound over systems that cost way less and this system is a prime example of that excess. That TT is ridiculously over engineered......and seriously, ONE decent integrated amp is all you need......but I love the look of those speakers.
Quanti soldi buttati per non arrivare neanche un po’ a un cd audio. Però capisco, il giradischi è l unico strumento che può essere accordato come un vero strumento e questo forse giustifica la passione.
Tut mir leid: Aber das überzeugt mich nicht ! Mich stört dabei - ich versetze mich "im Geist" mal in diesen im Vid. gezeigten Raum - allein schon der ganze Aufbau der Anlage zwischen den Lautsprechern. Da könnte ich nie konzentriert zuhören - zuviel Ablenkung durch allen möglichen Aufbau. Bei mir stehen die LS (3-weg vollaktive Studiomonitore mit Ortsanpassung des Tieftonbereichs) direkt vor der Wand und dazwischen ist nichts. Die eigentliche Anlage steht HINTER meinem Rücken. Und selbt der teuerste Vinyl-Abspiler der Welt kommt nicht an einen professionellen CD-Player ran. Und besser als die Schneidmaschine (ob 'ne Neumann VMS 80 oder andere) kommt sowieso kein Plattenspieler ran. Kennt jeman noch die SQAM-CD der UER für subjektive Tests? Solltet Ihr Euch mal anhören. Da kommt kein Vinyl-Player mit !

Dire Straits were the first band to embrace digital. So try playing the cd on your installation. As you know the technician has to compress the original recording to get it onto a lp. On a cd he does not compress at all. So there is much much much much more information on a cd. Don't stay in the eighties. Join and embrace new technology. You don't need all this equipment to let a song sound fabulous. If you have enough money buy a separate cd transport and a good dac. You won't believe how good it sounds than
Perhaps one could buy Dire Straits themselves for the price of this hardware (or at least a private concert) 😉 But that wouldn't be as satisfying or exciting as owning absurdly expensive equipment for the sake of it... Still, that could be explained. But delighting in its sound played via YT recording and a smartphone?.. 😳 Audiophilia is clearly a mental disease.
Leider ist High-End nur für diejenigen, die es sich leisten können, aber davon dürfen wir ja träumen. 🙂Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich unser Video angesehen haben.
Has that upper midrange and treble over-emphasis that wealthy audiophiles love. Men over age 50 with lack of high end hearing experience this as "detailed". Fairly obvious dynamics at play.
I suppose its the same as "Why have a 1940's classic car when you could buy a new all singing & dancing car with ABS , turbos, power steering, air con, heated seats etc etc,.... its the class & possibly the nostalgia and the art form of having a quality hi fi system.

Pretty cool, and I get the appeal; but, how many viewers understand: It's a recording; Played back through speakers that are mic'd; Uploaded; Playback is through (mostly really crappy) computer speakers. There's zero fidelity in this. I'm not dumping on the creator, seems like a truly remarkable system, just 99% of the population has no idea what actual quality playback is (if it can be achieved). That said, the creator knows how to mic (understanding all the broken links in "how we got here"), wasn't half bad played back on an inexpensive headphone amp a pair of ATH-M70x.
@@JC-iz2lv We are doing our best to record the system as closely as what you would hear at the sweet spot of that particular place and try to upload as much information as possible. Hopefully the audio quality of TH-cam improves over time so that you can enjoy more. Thank you for watching. 🙂
Como sonaria si se colocara musica de heavy metal '?
Nunca lo hemos probado antes, pero será bastante interesante. ;-) Gracias. :-)
Was mir noch auffällt: Die Mikrofonanordnung ist alles andere als professionell! Die überbreite A/B erzeugt kaum einen definierten Mitteneindruck! Eine M/S mit einem Druck- und einem Druckgradientenempfänger wäre weit besser !
Thank you for watching. We try to record the sound you hear from the sweet spot of the particular place as closely as possible, so the microphone placement is rather unorthodox.
@@HiFiImmersion Dann wäre doch der richtige Ort am Hörplatz mit einem Kunstkopf. Egal wie: Sie haben in jedem Fall die Raumakustik mit auf Ihrer Aufnahme.
@@bachglocke3716 Well, that's actually not the case because of the spec of the microphones. We've tried. 🙂
@@HiFiImmersion Was habt Ihr denn für Mikrofone? Sind es Kugeln oder Nieren ?
Und wenn Kugeln, sind es echte Druckempfänger oder synthetische Druckempfänger mit Doppelmembrankapsel?
@@bachglocke3716 They are DPA4011As.
Stepladders are an optional extra
lol 😀
Лампы не пожалели влепить, с большими лампами и качество большое...
Actually, they worked, but the focus lights were too bright. :-) Thank you for watching. :-)
Now go listen to a streamed version of it
At least all of the blinking stuff seems to work. The only thing annoying me is that constant humming aound in the background. Probably coming from the nuclear plant nearby to drive this bunch of energy eaters.
While this sounds insanely good, some people can totally waste bucket loads of money to gain incremental improvements in sound over systems that cost way less and this system is a prime example of that excess. That TT is ridiculously over engineered......and seriously, ONE decent integrated amp is all you need......but I love the look of those speakers.
Thank you for watching. 🙂
Is that a domestic setting ?
if this sounds good to u it's because your system is good
@@maverictomcat 😄 Indeed! Thank you for watching. 🙂
Como si por TH-cam se pudiera saber cómo suena ese equipo imposible.
Estamos intentando grabar lo más fielmente posible a la realidad. 🙂Gracias por ver. 🙂
Quanti soldi buttati per non arrivare neanche un po’ a un cd audio. Però capisco, il giradischi è l unico strumento che può essere accordato come un vero strumento e questo forse giustifica la passione.
Grazie! :-)
An dem Plattenspieler hat sich aber ein Schlosser ausgetobt
:-D
Bahh!! Tem até capacitor de fluxo embaixo do toca-discos!!
lol 😀
Tut mir leid: Aber das überzeugt mich nicht ! Mich stört dabei - ich versetze mich "im Geist" mal in diesen im Vid. gezeigten Raum - allein schon der ganze Aufbau der Anlage zwischen den Lautsprechern. Da könnte ich nie konzentriert zuhören - zuviel Ablenkung durch allen möglichen Aufbau. Bei mir stehen die LS (3-weg vollaktive Studiomonitore mit Ortsanpassung des Tieftonbereichs) direkt vor der Wand und dazwischen ist nichts. Die eigentliche Anlage steht HINTER meinem Rücken.
Und selbt der teuerste Vinyl-Abspiler der Welt kommt nicht an einen professionellen CD-Player ran. Und besser als die Schneidmaschine (ob 'ne Neumann VMS 80 oder andere) kommt sowieso kein Plattenspieler ran.
Kennt jeman noch die SQAM-CD der UER für subjektive Tests? Solltet Ihr Euch mal anhören. Da kommt kein Vinyl-Player mit !
Thank you for your comment.
...Я нихрена не услышал, последний удар щётками по барабанам...) Специально несколько раз прослушал,- кроме скрипа пластинки,- ничего... ) А все пишут, что всё слышно ...?))
Dire Straits were the first band to embrace digital. So try playing the cd on your installation. As you know the technician has to compress the original recording to get it onto a lp.
On a cd he does not compress at all.
So there is much much much much more information on a cd.
Don't stay in the eighties. Join and embrace new technology.
You don't need all this equipment to let a song sound fabulous.
If you have enough money buy a separate cd transport and a good dac.
You won't believe how good it sounds than
Of course, now it’s been played once, the vinyl will have to be thrown away as all the Peter Belt magic bachelor nanoparticles have evaporated.
Haha that name is a blast from the past, wonder if they have sheets of A4 paper under the couch 😂
@@jonjones. lots…. But you mustn’t look at them or the effect is ruined. 😉
Why do high end turntables always look so ridiculous?
I just cannot not hear clicks and crackles, love the involvement of vinyl but spoils it for me
If a vinyl is clean and well taken care of, you won't hear clicks and crackles. :-) Thank you for watching! :-) Happy New Year! :-)
There are a couple crackles around 1:40-1:50
@@tikabass That's true. 🙂Happy New Year! 🙂
@@HiFiImmersion Happy new year!
Think I’ll stick to my well tempered Amadeus ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Quoi quil en soit, moi j'ai pas les moyens ni financiers et encore moins matériels (surface) d'héberger ce type de système chez moi...
the church of stereology🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for your compliment! :-)
Perhaps one could buy Dire Straits themselves for the price of this hardware (or at least a private concert) 😉 But that wouldn't be as satisfying or exciting as owning absurdly expensive equipment for the sake of it...
Still, that could be explained. But delighting in its sound played via YT recording and a smartphone?.. 😳
Audiophilia is clearly a mental disease.
Please use better equipment to watch it then. 😉 Thank you for watching! 🙂
Good god, is there a more impressive set up uo than this.....I think not!
Another audiophool. You can't possibly evaluate the audio quality of anything by listening to TH-cam audio reproduction of same.
Geiles Teil; muss man erstmal das Geld für übrig haben….
Leider ist High-End nur für diejenigen, die es sich leisten können, aber davon dürfen wir ja träumen. 🙂Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich unser Video angesehen haben.
I do the same with my 2.500 € equipment 🤣😂
For sure. Especially to listen through YT on a cheap chinese headphones 😂
@@crazyb1443 No no, made in ouzbékistan 🤣😂
Do you really need this kind of equipment to play a 16bit/44.1khz digitally recorded track?
нормально звучит
I was hoping it'd be a cover version of the Metallica song. Slightly disappointed, but still cool nonetheless.
@@TheKnobCalledTone. Thank you! 🙂
Has that upper midrange and treble over-emphasis that wealthy audiophiles love.
Men over age 50 with lack of high end hearing experience this as "detailed".
Fairly obvious dynamics at play.
Thank you for watching. 🙂
Set for a bilionere from Dubai 😂
lol Thank you for watching! :-)
Вместо ракетных двигателей они проигрыватели штампуют.
Sounds expensive .
Unfortunately, better the sound gets, more expensive it is, but we can dream of having one. 🙂 Happy and prosperous New Year to you! 🙂
That TT is a joke.
I do own one, and it's pretty good. ;-) Thank you for watching. :-) - Y.B.
Pretentious is the word.
I suppose its the same as "Why have a 1940's classic car when you could buy a new all singing & dancing car with ABS , turbos, power steering, air con, heated seats etc etc,.... its the class & possibly the nostalgia and the art form of having a quality hi fi system.
как тут пыль вытирать?
Just using brushes 🙂
