Beautiful! Love that vintage column head from the Grande Ballroom -- a real piece of local music history. I dig your blue walls -- and the hanging lamp and the starburst clock in the corner, too. (And the tiki mugs!) It's all about the atmosphere, and my place is also full of midcentury modern lamps (including Lava) and analog wall clocks. I have a round mahogany end table from the '50s that goes back as far as my memory does, so I also appreciate your family's octagonal table. Creating the right ambience for listening to music is half the thrill. The little touches of memorabilia make the shelves of LPs and CDs come to life!
Nice setup. Thanks for sharing. Much love from a fellow Detroit resident. As a young kid in the early 70s I hand the chance to visit the ballroom. Beautiful spot.
Thanks! I was surprised at how much room is available once all the kids move out. As for the stool, at least it's not UK. Although, unlike the Wolverines, they're not much of a threat to TN 😉
The room is awesome! The speakers look fantastic and I've had an LP120 and loved it. Dig that you've got a Spin Clean - it's the only 'cleaning machine' I've ever had. Gets the job done. Great posters, and I dig the wall color. Killer space! Great CD shelves, I can't find anything like those. Cheers, Tom
Thanks Tom! I've had that LP120 for 8 years now, and besides upgrading the stylus it's been rockin' steady. I found the speakers in a barn a few years back and after a little dusting off they've been just great. I'm with ya on the Spin Clean - worth every penny! The CD shelves I got at home depot - www.homedepot.com/p/Prepac-Black-Media-Storage-BMA-0960/203055213 . They're pretty solid and stable, I'm happy with 'em. Thanks for stopping by!
What a fantastic room! I love the colors you've chosen. Very nice handbills. Awesome CD storage unit. That's a very nice vintage system, I bet it sounds great. I love your posters. A wonder space to hang out in. Take care, Dave.
Thank you! The sound is great - for me. Not sure an audiophile would agree, but at my age I doubt I'd hear the difference anyway lol. Thanks so much for stopping by and the kind words. Cheers!
I kept alot of my ticket stubs from the 70's and have them all in a collage framed..BUT i wish I had kept them all. As I got older I wasn't thinking about them like I did when I was younger. My first stub is my first KISS show in Dec 197..$8! Nice setup man-keep enjoying it all!
Thank you! Yeah, that CD drawer was an inspired find by my wife. Those ST signatures are a physical artifact of the exact moment that I discovered the band - and became a fan. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi. Thank you for this nice music room tour video. I love it. It looks very nice and cozy. Awesome collection. I subbed your channel. Take care. Cheers 🤘🏻
Absolutely dream place for music and friends! So cool! I wish i'll have place like this in the future... I have about 500 records and 150 cd's and a nice modest stereo setup. Enjoy your time buddy! ❤
The architectural piece............................. I think that's the top "Drum" of a "Corinthian" column as indicated by the ornate "Capitol". Acid Jazz, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊
Really nice spacious music room, ideal listening room. That architectural salvage piece at the end of the video needs to be housed in a glass cabinet...
Beautiful job on your listening room. The floor looks great too. I recently put a floor in like that and my back hurt for days! The cabinet of drawers you repurposed for the Cds was genius. From a fellow USAF Veteran - well done. Thank you for your service and sacrifice - never forget. Greg
Hey Greg! Thanks for stopping by and the great feedback! Yeah, I felt like I should've been in traction after putting that floor in haha. USAF 90-98!! Thank you for your service as well brother!
Hey ! You have the same Vinyl Junkie sign we have! Very nice room, Hideelee loves the shadowbox! Holy crap, a piece of the Grande Ballroom, right in your house. That might have magical powers you haven't unleashed yet. Be careful, could be like the tiki necklace on "the Brady Bunch" Ghostly apparitions of the MC5 appearing in your basement in the middle of the night. We did a tour of our music room early in our time here on RUclips also.
Thank you thank you! Yeah, I have seen that vinyl junkie sign in quite a few other folks' videos haha. I fell in love with that shadowbox when I first saw it - no leaving the store and coming back a week later, I snagged it right away. So, I've been thinking about MC5 haunting the basement - yeah, I'm all in for that lol! I totally appreciate you guys stopping by (all the way from TC!) and commenting. I've subbed ya and am looking forward to diving into your vids. Cheers!
Thank you! Yeah, the basement was pretty much my only option for a music room - according to my wife, anyway haha. But It works! Thank you for watching and subscribing!
Nice room and lots of records! I like it. I don't have many vynil records, a little more than 500, but I have 1200 CDs, including DTS, SACD, DVD-Audio, recorded in 5.1 format. I have a similar speaker system, but I made a stand for it so that the tweeters are at ear level, the sound is much better than when it is on the floor. Three meters between the loudspeakers and three meters from the acoustics to my couch, with this placement the best stereo effect. And music in 5.1 format also sounds good with such a geometry
Hey DBG…Great room. Basement Grooves for sure. Makes you want to pull up a beanbag chair, get that Lava lamp cooking, and listen to Dark Side of the Moon. Right in the middle of those gorgeous Fishers. (I’ve got a sweet Fisher mini-system, on the bookshelf, behind me)…🍻
Thank you! Yeah, I am definitely missing a beanbag chair lol. I've been very happy with those Fishers, but I believe the right one is starting to wonk out. Hopefully it'll hold out till I find a replacement pair (for cheap, of course haha). Thanks for watching!
Nice set up. I cringed there for a minute as you walked past the stool. I was waiting for the infamous Go Blue, but you held back. (I'm from Buchanan... The other side of the state... But a Hoosier fan😅) But seriously... You have some vintage equipment, and picture criticizing punk and David Lee Roth on the floor... Well done. And BTW... That' clock is awesome. Sets off the wall with style and purpose.
I appreciate that! Thank you for your service as well! I'm guessing from your user name you have ties to Alaska? I was stationed at Elmendorf from '92 to '95 - absolutely loved it. Anyway, the shelves I use for my records are Kallax 4x4 from Ikea. Thanks for watching!
I have the same shelving system for 17k records. I suggest getting firm backing cut and attached as it makes them loads stronger. You don't want them to collapse when full. Gotta luv those round black spinning music makers ❤
Great tip! I did intend to put a backing on prior to loading them up, but I was too impatient haha. I know that one of these days I'll need to go back and get that done. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for stopping by! I'm due for an upgrade, for sure, and one soon day I'll pull the trigger. I'm enjoying what I have currently, so the pressure's not exactly on haha. I appreciate your comment!
Love your room. I want to recommend 2 vinyl releases to you. Medieval Death LP and free DVD and the Mordicus “Rights ‘n Trials” LP. If you want to know more Google [Medieval Death LP and free DVD + Mordicus “Rights ‘n Trials” LP], then check audio, videos etc. \m/
Thank you! I also appreciate the recommendations - I'm not really a fan of death metal but I do sometimes dig some thrash. I'll give these LPs a look nevertheless
@@DavesBasementGrooves Medieval Death is definitely Thrash, no doubt about that at all. Mordicus “Rights ‘n Trials” to me is DeathThrash or Thrash Death if you prefer ;-) Medieval Death is the better band in my opinion.
@@MegaPalesz you’re welcome I have a modest system. Micro Seiki Solid 5 Turntable (from 1974) and a Marantz 2220B Receiver (From 1974) with Paradigm Speakers. Hope that helps, I thought the Blue would be better because of the hype, it wasn’t…

Dude thats a nice listening space, love the blue walls, the clock ties it all together beautifully
Thank you! I was a little worried about the blue as I was painting, but it really worked out well. I appreciate you stopping by! Cheers!
Nice setup. Thanks for sharing. Much love from a fellow Detroit resident. As a young kid in the early 70s I hand the chance to visit the ballroom. Beautiful spot.
What a great room. I could definitely hang out there and enjoy the music!
Thank you! It's a spot that really helps me unwind and forget about the bs of the day. Thanks for watching!
I am jealous of how much room you have. Looks amazing......except for that Michigan stool.
Thanks! I was surprised at how much room is available once all the kids move out. As for the stool, at least it's not UK. Although, unlike the Wolverines, they're not much of a threat to TN 😉
First things first....thanks for your service my friend! 2. Great tour. These are always my favorite VC videos!!! \m/
Thank you so much! I very much appreciate that. Room tours are my favorite videos as well! Thanks for watching!
Eat 'em and Smile...one of my favourite albums.

Where did you get the record shelves from? They look like Ikea Kallax but they are 5x4 secional.. never seen that before. seems great
They are Kallax 4x4. Probably my shaky recording that makes them look bigger haha. Thanks for watching!!
Decent size room..
I'm an audiophile, you don't need much to have a great sounding system! Just over $300 for the turntable, and you've got pretty good analogue!

300.00 turntable ?
Hardly call that reference
Fix it to the wall brother?
