To summarize. Jay has poured his heart and soul into something he loves and shared it with the world only to learn how terrible people can be.
Summary: he works five jobs to support a audio buying compulsion.
Jealousy has always been and will always be an ugly, destructive force.
Jay, it is a sad state of affairs in the US when someone's success is used to shame them for it instead of being held up and emulated. Keep doing what you are doing so we can live vicariously through you and enjoy listening to million dollar systems. Don't ever apologize for your success.
Well said. Thanks for being here
@@jaysaudiolab Even if one were a trust fundie or came from an uber rich family, one should never be jealous and hate on others. Life isn't fair. I've noticed Americans are some of the most hateful and jealous people around. Life isn't fair and breaking news for the uninformed. Some people don't need to lift a finger in life.
Jay, stay the course. Why worry or stress with what others say! You have your subscribers, and we are having fun with all the equipment you bring in. FORGET WHAT OTHERS SAY! You are one great human being and your channel is wonderful. Cheers friend!
Thank you Jaime
@@jaysaudiolab take it easy, it’s just hifi! Nothing is worth your health! Look at the big picture 😊
Successful and highly motivated individuals like yourself are necessary to bring more people into high-end audio. My journey in this hobby was not started by some bloke carrying a cheap, plastic boom box, but by an acquaintance with a great and very expensive system. 46 years later, I still remember that wonderful system! Jay, you are providing the same great and educational experience to many aspiring audiophiles, and they will go on to build great systems. Stay Strong!
Thanks Rickey
Hey Jay - I'm surprised you felt a need to make this video. You don't owe anyone any explanation! As long as you are transparent and authentic in your content (not hiding some undeclared motives) you will have lots of genuine subscribers who enjoy sharing in your journey. As you said you are the only one on YT I found discussing this level of equipment. Also I find a lot of the others pretty boring to be honest. By the way, I am loving the shorts - great way to share great music on a great system! Keep it going!
Jay, I have total respect for your hustle! And I totally agree with you, let everyone do what is best for them and let them not be questioning or jealous of those whose clearly choose to do more. We all need to take responsibility for our own actions and our own level of hustle. Regards my friend.
I appreciate that! And check your email !
Love your channel. I appreciate your passion and thank you for presenting us with high end gears I hope to own in the future. It's good to have a channel that I can constantly see and hear what high end gear sounds and look like. Keep making great videos and please be less concerned about haters because they are going to always do what haters do.
Must be a miserable way to live hating on someone else's hard work and success.
Great speech Jay it comes from the bottom of your heart and can be felt
Thank you Salvador
Hello Jay, don't worry about haters. No matter what you do, some people will hate you. Even though I will never afford that kind of equipment, I still find your videos very informative and enjoyable.
Thank you
Thank you, Jay. I really appreciate your hard work and effort! I find your videos, your audio journey and you as person really motivating and inspirational.
My pleasure!
Jay, sorry to hear about your stress but I respect that you’re going for it!
I appreciate that!
There is room for all levels of the quality spectrum. Nice that someone is doing what you are. It’s nice to see what makes up the ultra high end.
Thumbs up sir. Compelling content and enjoyable personal perspective. Thanks for all the hard work and the sacrifices you make for all the viewers.
Much appreciated!
I always look forward to a Jay video. You have a wonderful ability to connect with people. I believe that far more people are inspired by what you do than are threatened by or envious of it. The easiest target is the price. In fact, I think it has more to do with your personality. You have the "it factor". Most of us don't. Keep it up, and hope to meet you one day.
I always felt that a person's finances is their own business. I could always tell you were a hard worker from your videos. Don't stress yourself.
Thank you. The grind never ends
Very bold of you Jay, thanks for the share! Strong hardships often are what drive people to their personal excellence as it seems to be the case with you.
Thank you Allborolcd
Keep doing your thing, Jay! Met you at CAF2022 and you were the real deal in person just like you are in your videos. And yours is the only channel with this level of gear and I enjoy watching your journey.
Jay, thanks for all the hard work you put in this channel.
Your journey in the Hi Fi is inspiring. Don't listen to others who spread rumors. I hope you still finds joy and happiness in this.
I appreciate that!
Jay. I really support your journey, and think it's very cool to see you display the very best equipment available. Maybe you can learn to cope better with the stress going forward. I hope you keep pushing the boundaries, there are always a cost to reach for the dreams🙂
Thank you for the support and suggestion
Good for you man, I do respect the hustle and much respect to you.... Haters gonna hate, nothing you can do about that... Hey maybe someday you'll change your mind and your priorities in life, but it's your life and you do you. ✌🏽
Thank you
Appreciate all that you do…don’t every apologize for being true to yourself.
Thank you
Hey Jay do what your doing as you enjoy it and so do many others to see the extreme hi end equipment on your channel. I do love it and most importantly disregard the people who do not enjoy it. No stress is required just happiness in life. Keep going with a smile.
In what world we are living with!!Keep up the good work Jay!
Thanks
2:56 “Jay’s this, Jay’s that” should be the name of your channel!
Brother haters will always hate. Do you sir, do you. I love your channel as it gives me an insight into ultra high-end. There nothing like your channel. I like the great budget channels, the channels about the products they hit above their price point. And your, the ultra high-end. Keep it coming sir.
Thanks Mark
You have a great attitude! You're not condescending or pretensive. I couldn't be as diplomatic as you. Kudos bro!
Much appreciated Marty
Jay you owe nobody any explanation keep doing you my friend
You're right. I don't owe anyone an explanation
Jay, thanks for sharing so many of these personal things about yourself and your life. That was very moving about what you said about never meeting your father. Most of us out here just enjoy hearing from you and never needed to know some of the things you talked about here. We are just glad to know you and being a friend in this hobby. Having a passion like you have should never be anything to be ashamed of or be stressed about. I know about obsession too since Ham Radio is my number one and audio number two. Looking forward to seeing you at AXPONA and getting to shake your hand again. Hang in there Hermano. Prof. Jim
Hey Prof
I appreciate your support and comment here. I wanted to shine a light and bring you all a little closer to me. I will see you next week
I really enjoy and appreciate seeing equipment and listening to equipment I can't necesarily afford. Brings me back to my car audio days. What a lot of people don't realize is that most people with your means wouldn't bother sharing their journey or equipment on a public social media platform. So we should have a little gratitude. You didn't need to make this video; there's always going to be hate on the internet for one reason or another. People as successful as yourself always have people trying to tear them down and belittle them without realizing what it took to get there and stay there. Ignore that toxic BS.
I can relate to the sense of growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, and needing to work hard to feel like I belong on the other side. At the same time, these efforts have diminishing returns. I've finally reached the point that I can quietly appreciate my own luxuries, and work on my insecurities, in my own space, and not have to broadcast them for validation. Takes a long time to get there (now in my upper 50's), and never completely goes away. Our efforts of validation can have opportunity costs. I had kids late in life, for which I am thankful. If I had been a younger dad, my own ambitions would have taken quite a bit away from my time and attention to them. Money is a key commodity. but as you get older, you realize time and personal energy are the most scarce and valuable of all.
Good luck with your journey.
Thanks for the comment
I'm not interested in your personal business, but want to see what you bring to the table. You make an excellent case for yourself, backed up by many high quality presentations. Enough Said!
Jay you are doing an excellent job and we appreciate it. Don’t pay attention to negative comments. God bless you and continue with your journey. We are learning a lot from you.
I appreciate that Milton
Your the man Jay. Don’t stress just breathe Flow and keep educating us.
Thanks Alex
I am glad you get to enjoy the finer things in life. There was a great deal of hard work that went into all the equipment that you have shown. It is wonderful that someone like yourself who understands the effort that went into building and designing this equipment gets to enjoy it. If you have watched the movie the accountant, there is a woman who is thrilled to see a Jackson Pollock painting that the accountant had. She was thrilled not because of its cost, but knowing of the mastery of the artist who made such a beautiful painting. In the end, the accountant gives here the painting. She could have sold it to improve her life, but she hung it on her wall to do what was intended by the artist. Just enjoy it. This is the passion I see in you when you present your equipment. The makers of this equipment should be thrilled that a person as your self is enjoying and respecting their hard work.
Much appreciated Jim
@@jaysaudiolab You are welcome. Thank you
Deep respect, and you’re looking great Jay.
Jay, you are a 100% standup guy. I believe what you do for us is appreciated by most of the audio community. The fact that you work hard to get some very nice electronics is to be respected. Although stressful, you enjoy it as much as we do watching your videos so keep up the great work.
I appreciate that Nicholas
Jay, that was big of you to open up like this with the world.
Thanks Colin
You’re an inspiration for many of us, Jay. Keep up the great work!!!
I appreciate that Brent
Hey Jay,
I happen to like all of the audiophile youtubers and I don't think that you should feel the need to justify or explain anything to anyone... You do you... Like I said, I like everyone on here... 👊
Much appreciated. Thank you for your support
Hey Jay, you are the only honest guy in this community. All other reviewers are always giving great reviews, and we, the viewers do not get any smarter, for that reason in it self. You do purchase all the equipment yourself vs. others who is given the equipment to review, that is the whole damn difference. Keep it up my friend! You are the honest one.......
I have to differ on this having worked at TAS for three years. Equipment loans don't influence how TAS reviewers view a product. The vast majority is sent back and in some cases the reviewer purchases it. Honest takes are the only thing that demonstrate integrity for readers or viewers.
Much appreciated ulf
We stand behind you Jay! You have more fans than haters for sure. Haters not worth your time and anguish. I love your videos and I don’t usually hit the subscribe button that often apart from your channel! I hear you all the way from Singapore just so you know!😊
I appreciate that and thanks Dan
Hi Jay you should not have to justify how you afford your equipment that’s your business, this hobby should be fun and enjoyable, I love watching all the videos everyone does in the hi fi and Vinyl community, but get sick of the negativity. Jay enjoy your hobby and especially your family your children are only little once. Thank you for bringing us the ultra high end. ✌️
Much appreciated Robert
Jay, always bringing the public ultra high end audio equipment. Knowing how much this gear depreciates, much respect!
Hater’s gonna hate!! Keep up the good work. I like the channel a lot!
Haters gonna hate. I don't afford this kind of gear but I still enjoy the videos. I apreciate the honesty and the way things are presented. Thank you for making the videos.
Honestly I super respect you after this video👍
Thanks 🙏
I thought this channel was about ultra high end audio, you Jay are an ultra high end guy thanks for sharing intimate aspects of your life . I’m a fan!
I appreciate that!
Jay,
I don't know what some guys are saying about you and I don't care. I don't care how you get your money neither. What I can tell you is that I have today the best sounding system of my life and that is because of you. I used to buy components based on reviews, since I don't have many good dealers around. Using your channel, I started to redo my system and I never thought that I can achieve the level of realness I have now. I changed my priorities and have worked a lot as well to get what I have now. My journey continue. Continue yours too and share it with us.
Will do Carlos
Jay, thanks a ton for taking the time to do this. I am sorry you get any grief at all for who you are or for what you do. I really appreciate your approach and your channel. I also really appreciate lots of other channels ... they all offer something specific. My best advice about all this is: "Never accept criticism from someone who you wouldn't also accept advice." Hope this helps brother. Keep on keeping on, you are appreciated.
Thanks S A
Indeed great video with lots of honesty. very appriciate Your wife and kids for understanding your "Hobby" ..
Hustle is life. You rock Jay
Wow Jay I think you story is incredible . Honesty is your greateat asset my friend. Bless you for all your hard work and delivering top notch high end audio video always.
Keep doing your thing Jay. We will always have haters. Continue to focus on those that love and support the work you do and your passion for HiFi.
I appreciate that youthman! You couldn't have said it better ❤
@@jaysaudiolab continue to educate and inspire others to build their dream setup.
Respect to your hussle, Jay. Keep the excellent comment coming & thanks...
I appreciate that Venus
As a person who doesn't always agree with you, I still watch your videos and enjoy them. I wouldn't let critics get to you, in fact you must be doing something right for them to take notice. The only time personally I've heard people on other channels disagree with you, they also said "but I love what he's doing" in the same breath. So keep doing what you're doing!
I appreciate that Bob
Jay, I got to admit to you, at first, I did not think the best of you. I believed you had your nose turned up to those who could not afford the stuff you have and have reviewed/owned/etc. After watching a few more of your videos, I honestly felt that I got a better feel for your personality and really think I was WRONG for prematurely judging you. I respect your drive and hustle and subscribed to your channel today. I appreciate your particular journey, the way that you explain things, and the details you provide when comparing how your set ups change when swapping out equipment. The truth is, I can't afford even the cables you use, and I really am happy (whatever that means - you know what I mean) with my very humble set up which is valued at approximately 3K. It makes me smile every time I listen to it. And I am by no means done. In conclusion, this video was great, setting things strait. I respect your journey, and, in the end, I really enjoy your content and look forward to future videos. I'm not going to ask you to review more "affordable" gear, because that's not where you are with your journey, and that's cool. Keep doing you and I will follow up with your future work. Thank you!
I think you are the only person who spend time and money to share the good and the bad in the high-end audio equipment world，I know a lot guys including me who are into high-end audio equipment but don’t choose to share the info due to the time and effort. A lot of people just want to enjoy their music and times. Anyway Just be yourself keep it good works jay.
Thanks Gui
You shouldn't have to apologize Jay. Enjoy the path.
I’ve climbed the audio mt … sat at the summit and discovered I actually prefers most manufacturers 2nd. 3rd tier products rather than the statement gear. To me the ultra gear gave m e anxiety, was too high strung and imposing. In the process sold off my dagostino, pass labs monos, in favor if the Boulder 866 and krell K-300i integrated amps. I have a great turntable with thf new krell phonostage, review for positive feedback in the works, with the new 20k PS audio speakers, also in for review and having a ball. It’s amazing how good these price points have gotten and I’ve enjoyed the scaling back process. Can I afford 100k speakers? Yes. I just don’t want them anymore. Maybe when I retire? Maybe.
You seem like a great guy. Do you bro. If ever in Soho NYC, let me know.
Ok
Jay been watching your channel for a while now and actually just subscribed. You’re absolutely right about having to work hard to get what you want. Nothing in life is just given to you. I appreciate all of your hard work providing us with valuable information. It’s your journey and you are providing us the privilege to view it. Thank you.
I appreciate that
Jay you do you. You don’t owe anyone any explanation. Nobody is forcing anyone to watch your channel. It cracks me up that people watch and then complain. I am with you. Work for what you want in life and don’t look back.
Thanks Jeff
Agree with everything you said and you have my respect. I learned a long time ago to be true to yourself and not let others dictate how they feel that I should live MY life. You earn it, you buy it, you enjoy it.
Nothing worthwhile in life comes easy. All depends on what you want and are willing to do to obtain it.
Thanks for candidly showing us what equipment is available to hopefully reach audio nirvana. I enjoy your content.
Thank you TK
I’ve learned early on that the header you work and reward yourself, the more jealousy you’ll encounter. I can’t think anyone who goes into depth about their philosophy on purchases than Jay on RUclips. I’d love to hear his insight on business, ethics, and working out. His thought process is always laid out and explained in damn near all of his videos. This guy pushes himself to anxiety and losing sleep - I think that’s why a lot of people watch. Congrats on your success and drive!
I just found Jay the other day... Jay rules.
Jay, you certainly don’t have to answer to the haters.
You only have to answer to yourself- is the grind worth the loss time with your family, the stress and the like?
I would like to hear more of your comparisons among speakers, e.g. how would your describe the differences between your current Wilsons and the relatively inexpensive Magnepans 20.7 you had?
Indeed Stuart
Hang in there bro!
Nice job with everything you do. Thx for the great channel and the content. Both are appreciated.
I appreciate that!
Jay it's too easy to "judge" others for whatever reason. I couldn't do what you do because I don't have the energy or desire and other interests take up my time. I enjoy your channel and can see the amount of time and hopefully joy it brings you. The most important part for any of us is our faith, family and health, so peace to you.
Respect, brother don't worry about the hater's, their out there not matter what. Stay resilient like I know you are. Always do the best you can and do what's right in your heart.
Thank you for all the video's and God bless.
Your previous videos influenced me to buy my magico A5 and Luxman m900u.Thanks Jay.Keep doing what you doing.
Great to hear!
Nice video Jay, enjoyed your take and thought process. People have their own agenda and views, so who cares. Enjoy your life the way you want to!
No hate from here jay fairplay to you
Hardwork pays off much respect to you 😊👍
I appreciate it godzillard
Very impressive and honest video. I wish I would have bought from you before. Will definitely keep an eye on your sale items. Wish you all the best and may you get more subscribers. Thanks for entertaining us.
I appreciate that!
I enjoy your Posts and I don’t sleep at night either.?
T
Two of us
Well said, Jay. I dream of setting up a Kronos Turntable in my house some day but as of now I have neither. That will change. Some guys can't upgrade for reasons they can't control and they're envious.
Thanks jazz
Dude, just be you and enjoy creating; you owe no-one anything so no need to have anxiety. We met at the Florida expo 2022 at the bar and chit-chatted some, and from - albeit brief - personal experience you are a soft-spoken, knowledgeable, thoughtful, friendly guy, passionate about the field. Nobody has a right to ask anything more of your and you have no obligation to be anything else. Just keep being you, and do the parts you enjoy and jettison the parts you don’t, imo. Ignore detractors - in the end a lot of people suck, and that’s their problem not your’s, no need to give them a 2nd thought - and appreciate your supporters.
Jay instead of reading and dreaming about Wilson's you are grinding to get them....much respect my friend. Cheers ......Oh yeah Hatters will Hate just Do You man.
Yes 👍 absolutely
You have my respect and I benefit from your perspective as an OWNER of the equipment mentioned, thank you very much for your passion and efforts.
I appreciate that joe
Good discussion Jay. Also have enjoyed our phone calls.
Thank you Lee
Greetings from Germany 😊. Keep up your work.
Thank you! Will do!
Drown out the naysayers Jay. Kudos to you!
“Respect the Hustle”!
Don't have a ticker moment!!!
U do a great job making us all droule!!!
F them ones who criticize.
Go, Jay!
Thank you
You will always find in life,some people are and will be jealous,Your a great person and really enjoy your videos! Stay the course!
Hi Jay, thank you so much for the hard work you put in. We are all lucky to experience the high end vicariously through you. Love the transparency.
I appreciate that!
Thank you for this video and for the straight talk. I don’t get haters. You do you. Respect.
Keep the stress under control, Jay and remember family comes first🙏. I am too much European to always appreciate the American woohah but I do wish you well, mate.
So true!
Jay, stay focus and on track in what you are doing. You are doing something very new and unique and those who are failures hate your hustle because they don't know how to work hard. Just think of all us people here who appreciate you. Those who come ill will, will have to eat their words soon!! Stay in in the game bro! You are rocking it man!
Jay, I appreciate your honesty. I am not ready to subscribe, but I will watch and like your videos for the rest of us. PS there is plenty of SRV music that is not Tin Pan Alley. I get overplayed music. Shelf it for ten years….IMHO, Scott
I appreciate that
Jay, I find your channel very informative. There is absolutely nothing wrong about buying hi-end gears with your own money. Haters are gonna hate. Just ignore them. Take care.
Jay has my respect. He has been on one hell of a journey. Learning all the equipment digital and analog. For someone to complain, maybe they should look in the mirror first. I look for all opportunities to make my system better. Jay's Lab gives me a lot of ideas to make this happen. Don't let jealous people get under your skin. We appreciate your efforts. Thanks
Well said!
Nothing but respect for you and your channel. You take us on journeys no one else does. I look forward to all your videos and commentary. Thank you!
I appreciate that
Dude, if you own it, you earned it! Nobody needs to know how, that remains a secret!
Lol
I watch your channel to learn. I also like your style.
Awesome, thank you!
It's easier for some to be hateful & or jealous. Rather than be happy for someone that's successful. I can't afford high end audio. But I enjoy watching what's out there. Thanks Jay
You always will find people who are jealous and talk b.s. don’t bother…
I have shop and I understand your talking about.
Greetings from The Netherlands
Thanks 👍
Jay since I've been watching your channel, my stereo never sounded this good, all the higher end equipment you showcase inspired me to go for it too. I had to hustle, work harder to pay for it, but so worth it. You've expanded my horizons, so thank you. And keep doing what you're doing following your heart, your instincts, nobody is doing what you do. Thank you Jay, you're awesome sharing your journey. I appreciate your grind & hustle. You get things done. God bless you and your family. Happy upcoming weekend & Easter!!!
Even though I have a audiophile RUclips channel, I never gave it two thoughts about how you got your equipment. We need a channel like yours to show people that if money is not an option what you can buy out there if you want. Let’s face it, if I really had the wherewithal to buy very expensive equipment then I would. Keep up the good work Jay from one Floridian to another. Don’t let people get you down. 👍
Keep on Trucking Jay ...!!!
Thanks
