You know you're old when the stereo equipment you bought new is now considered vintage 😅
Yeah there's a time when we realize that all the old people we knew are all gone and it's our turn next. 😦
Kids these days call 90's stuff vintage. That even makes me feel old.
That plus when you start hearing your favorite songs on Oldies stations :)
Those were great. I especially liked the inexpensive system on the dresser, and the vintage equipment. And the cats.
Thank you Steve for featuring my set up. Your recognition and acknowledgement is an honor!
prashant, stumped here. Now i just have to watch this one. Hope you are well.
It's an honor to have been selected for the thumbnail picture. Wish you all the best.
It’s so crazy seeing like $30k in gear and zero room treatment lol, room after room. Like $1k in treatment can do wonders!
yea but nearly all people dont understand it. Its easiyer to buy an Amp or Speaker than invest time into REW, Measurments and spending hundreds / thousands in the correct room treatment wich bring even the cheapest system on the enxt level. When you dont control the energy you put into the room, you get a mess - and people call that still ,,high end,,
My system was featured in this video and I have some room treatment. Bass trap in the corner behind the left speak that’s hard to see in the pictures. I also have a DIY acoustic panel on the wall to the left of the system that is covered with a tapestry I bought in Sweden (the wife approved). Probably the biggest thing my room has going for it is real cork flooring.
!st video is my system. Tons of room treatment although it may be difficult to see in the photos
Hi Steve. Thanks for posting my photo. Greet from Slovakia.
I thought his superpower was being able to hear high frequencies with 74 year old ears.
evidently I can hear the squeaking of a decorative garden windmill fan next door that others much younger can't. Eye's closed, away from the window I can tell you relative speed by the squeak. Other's don't hear it at all. And now after 72 years of hearing all kinds of crap, I find out there are a number of things I thought everyone heard, but don't! Interestingly my 3 sons hear it. And 3 of us are audiophiles with good turntables.
Thought it was his colourful shirts! 😂
I dig the whole Brady Bunch décor (shag, wood panels & booze) of Eric's system @2:01.
I'm amazed at how many systems there are out there that are valve with horn drivers. I've been looking to make my own horn speakers as its quite the woodwork project - I build guitars anyway so its the natural progression!
1:58 I instantly recognized Eric's room from his Klipsch KLF-30 review on In Sheep's Clothing Hi-Fi. That green carpet is pretty memorable 😂
The shag palace! I follow Eric on Instagram 😊
Nice to see Oppo getting lots of love.
Wow! Super Exellent! Some very interesting systems in there.
One thing i miss (it is mentioned sometimes, but not as a regular thing) is what the users prefer to listen to on their system. That could enlighten the choises of components. Perhaps an indepth analysis with a user interview/input. I would love to watch that.
"Before and After Science", nice ENO album, 3rd album I bought back in 1978 When I first started collecting music.
As a past Audiophiliac Viewer System of the Day, I especially enjoy these videos. It’s always interesting to see the various systems and how wildly different some of them are. Another great video Steve! 👍
I love n enjoy your videos n have recently over the last 2 years put some serious $$ into a decent Japanese only system.
Currently own an Accuphase E800 together with Esoteric N05XD streamer + Esoteric G02X clock. By next month i will be purchasing TAD ME1 after seeing ur TH-cam video about that speaker. Thank you...😊
Thanks from Olympia Washington! System #3. “Very tasty picture”. Sansui Studio.
Steve, your polka dot shirt is ROCKIN'
Nice, i saw my old Phillips 4407 came in at the end there. ❤
Steve thank you for showing my system in this special episode of the Audiophiliac.
Glad to see that people are still into Hi-fi hobby!
Me 2 I thought it was out of fashion already
@@dilbyjonesa quick You Tube search will show you the hobby is alive and well my friend.
Happy listening to all 🎵.
Jim 🏴 😊
theyre into buying gear, not into serious highest quality music playback. No one spends money into serious Room Treatment or even High end solution like Bass Arrays to get the best Bass Quality. The people think when they buying well known gear theyve an good system... wich is not the case
And almost no one has any room treatment? With that outlay of cash for these awesome systems. What's up with that?
Thanks for sharing Steve.
because people have no idea that treatment is the only way to high end sound. Its easyier to buy gear than basstraps & absorbers, even if that brings your system on the next level
Excellent episode! A system from Slovakia! My Dad would of been very happy to see. Beautiful systems as different as their owners. A great superpower indeed!

Steve is Super Audiophiliac Man - call goes out and his legions of followers respond with a tremendous variety of HiFi Systems. I am remodeling my apt. with my HiFi system as the focal point and these pictures are ripe with a myriad of decorating ideas. TACK!!!
WOW! God there was some truly stunning set ups there, not jealous at all......... 😇😂
love these episodes
I'm loving all of the Sansui and A/D/S love!!!
These are my people.
Totally
More than any club, organization, or political party (a great big " YECH!" on that last one to both of them!) it feels so great to be involved in high end audio culture. It is a true democracy because at its center is the joy of music! I'm a 63 year old black man and I love and appreciate diversity. All the diverse systems and music makes us all brothers. To all music lovers and audiophiles the world over Keep enjoying the music our systems my brethren!
Congratulations to everyone for some killer setups.
As always, super enjoyable seeing the variety of audio systems that people are listening to these days. It's neat to see some of the older integrated amps. I had a Marantz with the crazy "Gyro-tuner" many moons ago, wish I would have kept it. I miss not having a tuner in my system!
I really enjoy these episodes and plan on sending in my system some day soon!
Some cool systems out there, great stuff Steve👍👍
Hi Steve. Thank you so much for featuring my diy 3d printed turntable. I will try to make a build vid soon to give more info and a how to.
The Carbo X Treme (humor) tonearm is on Printables and free to download.
Steve, I was excited to see my system here, thanks, Patrick.
No room treatment for 90% of those pix. That a lot of money for a system just to ignore the room. Curious indeed.
You have more than one power that other reviewers don't have.
The Scientific Audiophile hit the nail on the head when he noted the majority of rooms shown are the weakest part of the systems. All modern knowledge is of the opinion that the room accounts for at least 30% of the sound of the system...Start with the room first and then you can actually hear what your components are giving you in terms of sound quality.
Snap on make Audiophile racks, you learn something everyday.
Amazing videos Steve love from Australia!!
Your great Steve. Love it! Need me a new system but from old gear like McIntosh, Snell, conrand johnson.
On another note , I tried streaming Apple Music with the new Iphone15 Pro with USB silver connects from this Taiwan brand MPS ,it was quite a revelation. Beats my Mac Mini hands down. I’m using a Denafrips Pontus 2 ( upgraded FPGA ) and Iris DDC into a Willsenton R800i ( rolled PSVane tubes ) driving Kef LS50 metas and T5X in a small room ( 2.2m from spkr ). Wow do the Kefs shine in this set up.
Some lovely vintage systems there
Love the Texas Altecs and the Heathkit setup!
Always a Treat!
Great show Steve the best to you.
It's so important to have a audiophile hifi towel to cover the tv.
Love seeing the system choices people make. Thanks Steve.
In these images, I mostly look at the speakers. An audiophile should be know by the speakers he keeps.
I see a number of people using the klipschs Cornwall which are actually horn tweeters . Somehow I feel that for vinyl and specially analog dome is the best way to go. I have a huge theater setup and a different hifi setup where I use everything strictly from the vintage era. But even my theater setup has everything in dome. Planning to buy magnat transpuls 15 inch dome tweeters towers. The reasons are dome, german made and for vinyl record I always love the bigger sound. What do you think. Please share your feedback if possible ❤😊
Thinking i should send a photo of mine in. It's 2 systems together for 2 different purposes. Movie or music.
Hey Steve, I think you missed a spot under your lip when you were shaving. 😂😂😂
9:55 love seeing some Heavy Devy in the playlist. If you don't know Devin Townsend, go have a listen...he's a true musical genius!
😁👍
Sweet systems
Thank Steve.👌🏻👍🏻
Cool show!
That horn system is beautiful. What a shame he only has digital
JBL C38 Baron @13:02 is gorgeous ...
OK, so you need a database with all the various products listed in each picture with cross referenceable Boolean searches.
I find it quite astonishing, that people will spend tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of $$$ on hifi gear, yet have zero room treatment or have boxy little rooms with huge speakers cramped into the corners, or tons of clutter/furniture in front of speakers. Really begs the question as to how much of this "hobby" is to do with the obsession of gear (and showing it off!) versus actual audio quality output.
At least you found the road to nirvana, enjoy your music/sound. No need to sound so superior.
It’s about enjoying music where you live in the room you have treated or otherwise. A padded cell isn’t always a top choice 🤠😵💫🤓
I love Prashants system in Goa
Hold on, John! Better times are coming! 😊
So many guitars hanging on the walls in those photos. I hope they’re being played.
I heard an interview with Ry Cooder and his son. The interview was asking about all of the guitars in Ry's vast collection. The son says, he only plays five of them.
@@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac lol 😆
#1again (twice in 2 destinations on TH-cam) --- My Lucky Day! :)
Gay.
Whatever floats your boat I guess…
@@hlakegollum1😂
What klipsch speaker is your best bang for your buck
Jadis Orchestra Black + Tannoy Cheviot = Audio Bliss
How did you and Herb do during that heavy rain ? Brooklyn seemed to be the epicenter.
Thanks for asking, we're both fine.
9! 9! 9!
Hey Mission made some good stuff too.
Agreed! I enjoyed my 780se. Imaged brilliantly as I recall.
Love mission, but no one sent in pictures with mission gear!
Hey Steve, where can I send pics for viewer system of the day?
Audiophiliac@mail.com
Wouldn't the cat @7:14 be Catticus Finch rather than Catius Finch?
Presumably based on Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockinbird.
Steve didn't read the name correctly (no offense Steve!) - you are correct it's Catticus.
What do you need to do in order to have your system being shown on this channel? What’s the process?
Send JPEGs and description of the gear to me at audiophiliac@mail.com
Yonkers 🎉
This mobile box is killing all other gadgets including audio systems amplifiers speakers etc. New generation listening music on iPhone or headphones! I fear many manufacturing companies will shut down after few years ?
Come back keep watching my videos you'll feel better.
@@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliacsir, I enjoy your videos and try to gain some knowledge from your vast experience of music and audio systems.
I still wonder how Steve chooses the systems/photos to be presented vs. the ones he’s not impressed with.
As I mentioned when I make requests, the quality of the photography plays a large role in my decisions. Next, how interesting is the gear. Poor photography, low resolution, dim lighting, awkward composition are definitely non-starters.
@@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac then my gear must be boring to you because the quality of the photo was surely really good enough.
BI-amped Klipsch 600 haha
How do we submit?
Audiophiliac@mail.com
so many systems, so little to nothing room treatment in nearly all of them... def not audiophile or high end systems as most of the systems you showed in this Viewer Setups. Buying Electronic Gear doesnt lead you to a good system, its maybe easyier and more satisfiying but buying the correct room treatment is the way to realy high end sound
I wish I too was rich..
If you want to see some one of a kind speakers that will blow your mind come to my house
Why are there no female audiophiles?
Excellent question! I've spent my entire career in Audio trying to figure this out.
@@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac Thanks for responding! As you were showing the pics of viewer systems, it struck me that there were no pics from females. Obviously, there are some female audiophiles but it is strange that the ratio of men to women audiophiles is skewed so greatly towards men. Even in the 1960's when music was soooo important to those of us in the counterculture (guys and gals), I can't remember anyone other than guys who had concerns about fidelity.
I always thought the day my system finally appeared on this channel
I could say that’s mine my life is complete now I un-subscribe lol.
Insane ? C'mon Steve, your vocabulary is better than that......
