Gorgeous. What a treat! I love how aggravated our fine symmetrical German friend becomes by the variation in shades of orange on the spines of his albums! I am a graphic designer so I feel his pain!
I love the way you have your box sets displayed. If you wanted to hear one record of a 5 disc box set but didn't want to unbox the whole thing every time, this is a great idea. It's also nice that you have enough room to display all of this. Very enjoyable video.
It's amazing....we spend HOURS and YEARS on collecting vinyl, dialing in our system, isolation treatments, etc.....and yet a very simple idea like put the lps from a box set BESIDE the box on the shelf....never crosses your mind lol!!! I'm going t do that with some of mine.
excellent segment. phenomenal collection & hi-fi system. love the steel shelving. would love to see another segment solely on the electronic & avant-garde stuff.
Awesome collection, Michael ! The Einstein Hifi set up is simply stunning , WOW ! German made audio gear is some of the BEST . Most of these albums were captured with Neumann , Sennheiser and possible Telefunken microphones . Thanks for sharing my friend !!!
Michael man this was beautiful I was drooling when you showed those Music Matters and SRX . Awesome variety Mofi , UHQR , Impulse you name it you have a true dedication of collecting I really dig it and the Einstein system really gets the best out of your vinyl records great tour My friend . Lovellandrew
Absolute Stunning collection Michael, amazing system too. God knows how long it must take you to decide what you want to listen too with your collection!!! 😁
Been looking forward to seeing a deeper dive into your collection. Knew it would be stunning. Every collection large and small is always unique. Doing a great job with your channel. Thanks for putting it all out there.
Very interesting and yet rather sad in a way because I realise this gentleman will never have time to listen to his collection more than once or twice in his life time . We as collectors are just constantly chasing the next record and forgetting the point of the exorcise . I also notice a lot of the collection is based on new released records , which of it self is a very expensive way of amassing such a diverse portfolio . This is in no way a criticism far from it , but I notice a lot of people commenting feel that they will never be in a position to acquire such a collection . Trust me even if you have only a handful of this stuff we call vinyl you are rich beyond all measure . So sit back and enjoy the music and be at peace ✌️. Best wishes and kind regards to everyone .
Good points. I still have a small collection but have bought about 80 records so far this year, far more than ever. It is starting to feel out of control- mostly in a sense of difficulty getting to listen/know it all, but perhaps in some sort of low level addiction.
For this reason, my collection includes just 170 records. Of course, some more will come but I say: rather quality, instead of quantity. I own almost exclusively first pressings and also only albums that I -really- like to listen to regularly. Yes, a few exceptions are there - music that I still want to have here for the case but rarely feel like listening to that (maybe for nostalgia reasons, changed tastes, etc.) but I know so many people who permanently buy new records, which then lie around partially even for years in shrink or are listened to only once. Personally, I do not like this collecting mania... this pure accumulation of things at all. Also, many have not yet recognized what actually makes a good mastering. The differences are sometimes enormous and instead of 10 bad records, I prefer to buy one high-quality one. But this has to do with my own philosophy and should not be a valuation. Everyone can do as he wants.
let's be honest, if money was a huge factor in your life, you wouldn't be collecting anything. that being said, most collectors put all their money into the collection, so most of them aren't beyond rich really
Fantastic video! Thank you very much for the overview of your collection and system. Most impressive. It is obvious that it brings you much satisfaction and joy. Congratulations!
Wow. Just wow. Watching this just makes me want to visit you and listen to music! I would go right to your ERC section, maybe start with the Mozart a Paris set. Fantastic, just fantastic. What a wonderful library and hi-fi system. Just awesome.
You admit that you don't have much of a Beatles collection, but you have the best one ... The Mono Box Set !! First time I'm seeing any record collection organized label wise ... cool !! 😎
Michael, great collection there. Although I must say, You didn’t really give us a tour of the full music room though. I didn’t see the room, like where you sit to listen to music, a tour of the the whole room to give us an example of your listening experience in your music room. Hopefully when you get the other shelves you can show us the entire room, not just the collection. I will try to look for a great video of showing the entire room to give you an idea of what I mean. Well, you can even look at Mazzy’s when he shows his entire room, he actually gives us an example of an experience of how he has his listening music room set up in its entirety and we can get an idea of how he experiences listening to music and goes about picking up a record and where he sits and where he gets his coffee, that’s more of what I would like to see. Hopefully you decide to make another one later. Maybe you holding the camera yourself so you know exactly what you are showing. Don’t get me wrong, I truly appreciate you showing us your collection, and your system. I still think you should change the set up in your camera so that everything is in focus, and it doesn’t just look for your face to get it in focused. Ok, once again, me giving you feedback, hope you don’t mind. Thanks for showing us your collection!!
Hi Michael -- thanks for the tour and for sharing your enthusiasm for vinyl, which is highly infectious, I must say! That's a jaw-dropping collection and audio system.
Great collection and tour Michael. Like you I store my audiophile records by label (1800 now). My originals and box sets have to live upstairs as there isn’t room (I keep saying we need to move!). Of course we have many of the same audiophile records but I do envy your ERC collection. I have only 3 but if I could go back I would have bought them all. Now they are too much - oh well. I have a lot of records but there are always more thankfully.
Thank you for allowing us audiophiles into your audio sanctuary. Absolutely beautiful!!!! In every aspect of your video. Since discovering you from the Panel from the Miles Davis UHQR video. I have since subscribed to your videos and really enjoy what you bring to the table for us audiophiles. Thank you 🙏
WOW! What a fantastic collection and how you have stored the collection, I love it. When I get the the money I wanna do and have the same 🥰🤘👍 Keep on collecting my friend 😎👍
Glad you explained your awesome steel shelving to begin with, it's what I was most curious about. I already know you own every audiophile pressing ever released lol.
Amazing collection! I would need to have three different jobs to buy anything like this. And everything is so clean that I cant believe my eyes! :D Still beyond amazing.
I am going to start organizing my box sets like you, brilliant! Also, would be great to see the childhood collection shelf you mentioned. I’m sure your 10 year old self would appreciate looking back at your “mastered from the original tapes” original collection :)
I always wondered about the shelf behind you, because of the colour coordination and because the records looked thicker than the ordinary (and older) releases. I'll have to go back and watch your videos on the avant-garde parts of your collection, these interest me greatly
Amazing vinyl collection & stereo setup.. I like the light fixture how it covers the whole length of your equipment.. something I’ll look into. Thanks for the video ,
Thanks for sharing! I don't think that I have seen records lined up so beautifully! You have inspired me to do similar with my collection albeit much smaller 1100 albums (and growing).
Just wow collection… I personally would have serious ‚problems‘ to decide which record to choose for the next listening session 😎….but this is a luxury problem. Impressive, Michael 👍🏼
also i love the very german tidiness and putting the records outside the boxes. beautiful. i recommend the recollection grm series out of austria, mostly hifi editions of electroacoustic music in similar packaging that may appeal to your sensibilities.
This answered a lot of questions! Still, I'm surprised there are so few 'vintage' items in there. Your home insurance must be incredible. Aside from the monetary value, it's clear you've invested a lot of time and love into amassing such a formidable collection - bravo!
Organising a collection is a trifle difficult and personal. My audiophile collection is also stored by label. My collection of original 1st pressings bought from new in the 1960 and 70's is alphabetic. CD's are by genre then alphabetic but these are mostly avant garde or electronica. Thank you for sharing
Geez! Love those shelves Michael. As a record collector myself, I'm always curious as to how others categorize and organize their collection. So, I really appreciate that you have taken the time to describe the manner in which your collection is arranged. Everything is so spectacularly, neat and orderly. A few things I'd like to know, if you don't mind, are the height and the dimensions of your listening environment? Very, very well done. Thanks Michael
Hey Michael Great video, been waiting for a long time to see your collection and it did not dissapoint. Glad to see you're making provision for expansion too. I do love those shelves, and thinking about something similar for my dedicated room (when we get around to getting it built) to house my collection, rather than trying to cobble together lots of kallax units from Ikea. Keep up the good work, and enjoy the music. Cheers Dean
Thanks for doing this, Michael! I was curious how you had your collection organized - makes good sense to go by label. Anyone would be envious of your records. You have like 5% old beat up records and 95% pristine, mostly audiophile - for most people it's the opposite.. haha. And boy, that Current 93 box set... what a gem/
Like when you say the third shelf and final shelf... for now 😉 .Amazing collection you have and enjoyed seeing it all. I was looking out for the Tom Petty box sets but didn't see them. But OK come on... cheers
I LOVE the way that you set up your stuff, sweetie. The records outside of the boxes is SMART. I agree. Your taste is so similar to mine, its crazy.....damn! And those beautiful eitnsteins
Very nice that you share your record collection with us and the way you do it. Very impressive. I'd say I'm healthy jealous. Also the compliments for your refined audio equipment. I live nearby and would love to have a cup of coffee with you to see and hear it with my own eyes and ears 😜
The Darth Vader breathing soundeffect was super audiofile :D
I was kind of hoping, after seeing all that vinyl, you were going to say "and here's my turntable" and pull out a Crosley Cruiser 😂
Hahaha best. comment. Ever.
🤣🤣🤣
It's fascinating how calm and composed he was showing his record while going through an earthquake 7.5-8 (Richter scale)
What earthquake and where ??
lol
@@hanifarjo5222 it’s a joke , because the camera is shaking
Freddie’s breathing added a certain ambiance to the video.
Poor guy, he should get that checked, I also have breathing problems.
He done good job. Lol
Quite simply - Wow!
Those black steel shelves are glorious.
How can you not become an audiophile watching Michael's channel??? 🤘🏻😎
I know right?
Hahahaha! Most probably most of the viewers waited for this. :D
Deaf ears, love. And no money. That simple.
@@podcastwasmitrockundvinyl9387 LOL! 😂
Absolutely outstanding collection and Hindi system
Gorgeous. What a treat! I love how aggravated our fine symmetrical German friend becomes by the variation in shades of orange on the spines of his albums! I am a graphic designer so I feel his pain!
Wonderful Michael ! Thanks for letting us into your private space.
Fantastic collection, quite impressive. I've been collecting since the late 1960s and have over 30,000 33/45/78 in my collection.
Beautiful my brother, absolutely beautiful! 🤗😁
I love the way you have your box sets displayed. If you wanted to hear one record of a 5 disc box set but didn't want to unbox the whole thing every time, this is a great idea. It's also nice that you have enough room to display all of this. Very enjoyable video.
blown away by the range of your collection, michael. electronic, avant garde, italian stuff, VODs, impulse.. amazing!
Thanks Michael, Impressive, no doubt "You da man!"
this is one of the best collections i have seen this far. The system kicks ass too!
Impressive Michael! Beautiful custom shelves. They are thin and almost disappear. Thank you for the tour!
It's amazing....we spend HOURS and YEARS on collecting vinyl, dialing in our system, isolation treatments, etc.....and yet a very simple idea like put the lps from a box set BESIDE the box on the shelf....never crosses your mind lol!!! I'm going t do that with some of mine.
Agreed! Doing that also has the bonus of reducing shelf wear on the bottom of the boxes!
Agree as well! Also wonderful to watch someone who collects that actually use their records.
So many wonderful LPs shared in the video but having the records lined up beside their box is so sublime. Well done!!
the same here never crossed my mind, great tip
Amazing Collection! Thanks for sharing, Michael!
Wow!!! Thanks Michael...how wonderful to see your collection a year after the pandemic started when I started enjoying your videos..many thanks.
So super fun to watch. Thanks so much for this detailed view of all your gems (including your "fraternal twin" guarding shelf #1). Nikolas
excellent segment. phenomenal collection & hi-fi system. love the steel shelving. would love to see another segment solely on the electronic & avant-garde stuff.
No lie, this might be the best audiophile collection I’ve ever seen. Holy shit.
Great idea with the box set storage, proves you actually listen to your records. Great collection !!
Awesome collection, Michael ! The Einstein Hifi set up is simply stunning , WOW ! German made audio gear is some of the BEST . Most of these albums were captured with Neumann , Sennheiser and possible Telefunken microphones . Thanks for sharing my friend !!!
An enviable record collection and system: bravo, sir! Nice of Michael Myers to agree to operate the camera for you, too 😂
Michael man this was beautiful I was drooling when you showed those Music Matters and SRX . Awesome variety Mofi , UHQR , Impulse you name it you have a true dedication of collecting I really dig it and the Einstein system really gets the best out of your vinyl records great tour My friend .

Also, is it weird that i'm rewatching this video?
That was really well organized! Intuitive and aesthetically pleasing. You’d have a panic attack if you saw my LP storage “system”.
wonderful sharing, amaZed you can remember so muchhhhhhhhhhh and u need a gimball too............haha
Amazing all around. From the shelves to the records to the gear. Impressive is an understatement. Thanks for the tour.
You admit that you don't have much of a Beatles collection, but you have the best one ... The Mono Box Set !!
First time I'm seeing any record collection organized label wise ... cool !! 😎

Hi Michael -- thanks for the tour and for sharing your enthusiasm for vinyl, which is highly infectious, I must say! That's a jaw-dropping collection and audio system.
Great collection! So what I do now for the weekend... put out all the vinyl from the boxes 😊 great idea👍
Fantastic collection Michael. Your sound system is amazing, enjoyed the tour . -VK

Looks great Michael
Amazing collection! I would need to have three different jobs to buy anything like this. And everything is so clean that I cant believe my eyes! :D Still beyond amazing.
I was thinking the same.I would need a couple more jobs to afford a quarter of this collection.
Very Impressived!I think to myself," The time you put into your collection has to be endless hours".But Peace of mind is sanity!
Michael, HOW do you insure all that value? Some of it is absolutely priceless. I am in complete envy, thank you for sharing.
Wish I was there. I'll bring cheese & wine. Thank you and keep on.
I am going to start organizing my box sets like you, brilliant! Also, would be great to see the childhood collection shelf you mentioned. I’m sure your 10 year old self would appreciate looking back at your “mastered from the original tapes” original collection :)

Beautiful!!! Gorgeous set up and a fantastic collection.

Like it... & love that hi-fi system!
Just wow collection… I personally would have serious ‚problems‘ to decide which record to choose for the next listening session 😎….but this is a luxury problem. Impressive, Michael 👍🏼
Loved to see this. Have been waiting since you began your channel. Nice to see it all! Too much coffee for the camera man :). Cheers, ML.
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for the tour. 👌
Amazing collection Michael; a dream to any vinyl lover! I definitely wanna be like you when I grow up :-) Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow! It is something hard only to image!!! Amazing.
your job must pay you very well indeed my friend. happy for u 😊🎶🎵🎼
Breathtaking collection Michael, a audiophile/music lover dream. Oh, and what can I say about the system, I can only imagine how good it should sound.
also i love the very german tidiness and putting the records outside the boxes. beautiful. i recommend the recollection grm series out of austria, mostly hifi editions of electroacoustic music in similar packaging that may appeal to your sensibilities.
Deep heat on those shelves man.
Micheal great video sir. Love your collection but your HIFI gear is just espectacular! Congratulations
100 percent awesome impressive
kudos to u micheal. a true collector

Stunning collection
Lots of money invested
Enjoyed your quirky patriotic outlook with regards to your choice of storage , to the audio components all being German.Unique set up.
Thanks for a great tour, Michael!
thank you...very nice room an collection.
Nice video and a very nice collection ! The only thing missing is an Elvis Presley shelf ? 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

I was so proud of my rare Led Zep Classic Records. Now I feel small and ugly.

How about an interview with Kai Seeman from Speaker’s Corner? I think it would be very interesting.
Great to see VOD in your shelf!
Great collection Michael!
... maybe in the future R 2 R ... tu ?
Serwus!
Just kidding
