I have my rig. A Marantz 2325, 2. X , 2 Klipsch Belles, room. 26x28’ . Double insulated, vinyl flooring. This has served me for the last 30 plus years ! Easy to keep up and dependable. I got my Belle’s from a Doctor that sold his home and bought a RV ! Wanted his speakers to go to someone that was a Klipsch fan. They were cheap needed they tweeters rebuilt. Beautiful everything is Walnut. Was built like furniture. Anyway Mikie that’s it for me and my system rarely is ever turned off. Keep Rocking !
Hi Mikey. I appreciate the overall message here. Two thumbs up for assembling Tribe memebers to collaborativly work out a stellar rig of chosen components. If Don Wells was still with us, he would tell you how much he respects your audio cables/interconnects. Cheers!
That's an awesome opportunity for people their Mikey, and all of the metrics line up beautifully. Get rid of the hi-fi stuff you're not using anymore. Set a new to the hobby music lover up for a great start in his/her hi-fi journey, and also get your last rig. Brilliant!!🙂👍🎧
Hey Mickey . . . you are doing a LOT of people a LOT of good here in helping them save not only money but a whole lot of heartache and most important as you so rightly point out : TIME :-) And just think: what about all the years that a bro chases his or her tail while instead he/ she could have bought something cool in the first place. Me? Been there done that :-)
@@OCDHIFiGuy compared to my current $7k rig (which doesn't suck) my expectations are high for the coming upgrades. I appreciate your vids and views. Wish you were my neighbor.
Hmmm, now I got upgrade-itis. 😂 End goal AGD (new Duets .. 150 w) Replace ML Montis with CLX and Wilson Benesch Torus (2) And streamer dac... no idea at all. May have to sell very attractive wife/friend to fund the upgrade. Tough decision.😂
I just finished purchasing the final component in my "forever" system and am really enjoying the music as much as I ever did since starting out in 1973.@@OCDHIFiGuy
It’s better to find a dealer with experience and spend more early on than to f around with a bunch of things you see reviewed on YT or elsewhere which ends up costing more time and money. Speaking from experience.
Absolutely. "Forever" is based on one's perception only. It's the one that makes you stop. For some, it may be at a Boom Box. For others, PS Audio. And even others, perhaps it takes more. I help you cross the line, regardless... even if it's just to talk with you and sell nothing.
I bought my first entry level high end system (approximately $9000.), 7-1/2 years ago and it sounds better every day. I will eventually upgrade but I will keep this system in my bedroom.
OCD Mike definitely recommends great stuff that’s not a rip off. My best advice for getting a more affordable rig is to narrow down great stuff with tons of depreciation and be patient waiting for what you want to pop up with the right pre owned price. Lots of previous generation stuff with awesome prices is out there - especially if there’s an abundance of the current generation item available on the pre owned market (if that makes sense).
Love everything you do Mikey, there is a lot of us who can’t go 100K. Give us options, build us a 10k rig, 20k rig you get the idea and supply us with the gear in your store…plus your subscriber base will explode….another thing help all of us just not the rich…..
I already have the best gear for me. I have a Current Drive Integrated Amplifier and a pair of speakers with 100 decibel sensitivity. As long as it keeps working, I’m good to go.
@@Charles12509 I do already. And thats the plan as evidenced by this video asking Big Bros to help out the "little" bros.. I sell a world class $2500 DAC and a $4K Power amp, $2500 Monitors, etc... check out 11stereo.com,. its all there.

Great to hear!
Great job. That playback gear is calling!!
You know it Wes !
Unexpected, radical, transcendental... And all music! Luv it
Thx !
Hi Mikey, all in for the solution at 60, doing exactly that…thanks much for a great channel and deep dive industry info👍
Thanks Rich !
Another solid MAS, Mikey. Thanks for the suggestion.
No problem 👍
I like this idea. Hope it works out. I have a few things i can offload.
Do it, Jake !

Thanks so much 🙏!
I agree I am in the process of cleaning my closet, and not being used or appreciated. Thanks Mike. Great Idea🤩
You can do it!
Great video Mike. Exactly what was on my mind and what I'm working at. 👍👍
Right on!
Bravo, salesman; and I DO wish you great success
Thanks for your support !

That's the plan!
I can finally retire my "Will work for HiFi gear" sign and stop panhandling on the busiest intersection of Greenville!

Ooops Mikey not Mickey :-) BTW just so you know, I ALWAYS thumbs up your vids and subscribed ages ago :-)
Thanks David !! I appreciate your support !
My pleasure my friend :-) your fan from Montreal . . . HEY! You still got your pony tail ?? you rebel ! LOL
Still using a Jeff Rowland Model 10 purchased in 2002. However, the new model 555 looks interesting…
It's his best yet IMHO
50 is the new 46
New 40 !!
Unless of course you are fighting cancer.
im reedy brotha!
Do it !!!
I must be the poor man in the crowd.. my dream is to build a $25k system and the video mentions spending that on just the DAC.
Work with what you have. $25K can get you a killer system !
@@OCDHIFiGuy compared to my current $7k rig (which doesn't suck) my expectations are high for the coming upgrades. I appreciate your vids and views. Wish you were my neighbor.
My forever system set me back in Australian dollars, around $7,000 all up and it's fantastic for this senior citizen! Cheers.@@mrk8212
Hmmm, now I got upgrade-itis. 😂
End goal
AGD (new Duets .. 150 w)
Replace ML Montis with CLX
and Wilson Benesch Torus (2)
And streamer dac... no idea at all.
May have to sell very attractive wife/friend to fund the upgrade.
Tough decision.😂
Just call me.. ;-)

Boy you aint kidding... what about the magazines ?? Lets not forget print
Can a poor man have a quality forever rig?
Absolutely. "Forever" is based on one's perception only. It's the one that makes you stop. For some, it may be at a Boom Box. For others, PS Audio. And even others, perhaps it takes more. I help you cross the line, regardless... even if it's just to talk with you and sell nothing.

Okay, but what was your end game system five years ago and is it still a keeper?
4 years ago, I crossed the line. Nothing has changed since then.
I likey Mikey!
Rock on !
I have a great system but…
It’s USA voltage
And I’m now living back home in Australia
So all change please…
Get in touch with Shane the Aussie Audiophile or Martin at Dr Good Vibes in Melbourne !
Hey Mikey what is your limit for building a rig for someone as far as money goes what is the cheapest you would go
Could probably do it for $8K full rig using previously owned gear..
Love everything you do Mikey, there is a lot of us who can’t go 100K. Give us options, build us a 10k rig, 20k rig you get the idea and supply us with the gear in your store…plus your subscriber base will explode….another thing help all of us just not the rich…..

Thanks man it gives me an idea of if I could ever afford your help that is really reasonable hopefully one we can meet

Who can afford $100,000.00?
Doing market research ? Aren't you "Competent sales" ??
