For all those people with their comments about listening to a cd instead of a vinyl record: spinning and listening to a vinyl record is also an experience of taking care of the record and taking it out of a big sleeve with big pictures and text and putting it gently on your record player. Instead of taking a round piece of plastic out of a plastic case, slamming it in the cd player and looking at small pictures and text with a magnifying glass. And yes, i play records as well as cd's. I cannot afford a record player that comes close to the sound of my cd players and still i enjoy spinning vinyl......
I agree, playing a vinyl record is a great experience. I enjoy it a lot, but I also enjoy playing my cassettes because a good recording played on a good cassette deck is also great. The sound of opening the cassette box, the feeling in the hand... But I also enjoy playing my CD/SACD/DVD/BR a lot. It isn't necessary something an experience as you have described. Selecting the CD, opening the box, extracting that shiny disc, opening the CD tray, seeing how the tray closes and the music begins to sound in a pristine mode... it's a great pleasure.
Wow, this might be the "closest to the real thing, true to life live performance" sounding system I have ever heard. It's truly amazing, you did a great job; thanks for sharing.
I heard every scratch of the vinyl record and go gladly back to my digital recordings and my AKG studio headphones. 😊 Bought my first CD back in 1984 and never went back to vinyl; just can't stand the scratches.
@@HiFiImmersionYes, it's all about preference, and I respect it too. Very impressive hardware, just not my cup of tea. By the way, the most "difficult" song that I ever encountered on my analogue equipment back in the 1980s was "She's leaving home" from The Beatles (Sgt Pepper album). The harp solo in the beginning was for all my equipment too "clunky", it got really distorted, and the first time I heard it the way it was meant to be heard was after buying the CD. It would be interesting if your equipment can play it with clarity.

i have over 1,000 albums and a very good turntable, a few have the odd scratch, i keep them in mint condition and clean them, hardly any surface noise at all, worth it over CD for a better sound (-:

@@HiFiImmersion SNAP i have the same one & while this track is my fave there is a manufacturing defect on mine on the first track calling Elvis.

The room noise (since I’m all about what you can’t or don’t listen to on a recording ) is wonderful Wilkinsons performance at Abbey road is a fine example of the art of silence although for me his track hopelessly coping featuring Thabo is like a surgeons scalpel it cuts everytime.

@@HiFiImmersion It sounded good, but I know it's not even close to being there. At least I have a decent system and didn't listen on ear buds or laptop speakers. lol

I think you are also hearing the voicing/tonality of the speakers and associated electronics as well the acoustics of the room vs just the "dry" signal you hear from the Tidal stream. What would be a more apples to apples comparison is the folks at HiFi Immersions taking the output of the phono preamp and using that as the audio source for the recording vs a pair of microphones in the room.
Wie dem auch sei: Vinyl überzeugt mich nicht gegenüber digitaler Tonträger ! Und wenn der Plattenspieler 1000.000 kostet! Besser als die Neuman-Schneidanlage VMS 70 oder die VMS 80 kann er nicht sein!
vinyl->stylus->hi-fi system->SPEAKERS>air+room->mics->preamp->digital audio recording->post->youtube processing->random D/A->random speakers = ridiculous to expect final result has anything to do with that opulent stereo. what exactly is the goal here?

Thank you for your comment. The frequency range you specified is pretty specific. Could you kindly explain to us how you figured out if you don't mind? It will help us improve. Thank you. 🙂
@@HiFiImmersion happy to oblige. I'm a recording, mixing and mastering engineer with four decades experience so I'm very sensitive to any anomalies. What I'm hearing is some resonance and unevenness in the frequency response in the range I mentioned. It really sounds to me to be most likely a combination of room modes and mic placement causing a small amount of comb filtering. It isn't a major issue and I don't think it is an inadequacy in the speakers, microphones, turntable or signal chain. I think you'd find moving the mics would alter the results but may not necessarily make things better or worse. I must say though that I have little doubt the experience I person would not exhibit this phenomena to any significant degree. Human hearing is pretty good at compensating for such anomalies due to the simple fact that the brain smooths anomalies like this very effectively with even the slightest head movements. That is something you don't get with static microphones. The fact that this system sounds so good in a video on RUclips recorded through microphones in a physical room is a testament to the quality of the system.
Was mir noch auffällt: Die Mikrofonanordnung ist alles andere als professionell! Die überbreite A/B erzeugt kaum einen definierten Mitteneindruck! Eine M/S mit einem Druck- und einem Druckgradientenempfänger wäre weit besser !
Thank you for watching. We try to record the sound you hear from the sweet spot of the particular place as closely as possible, so the microphone placement is rather unorthodox.
@@HiFiImmersion Dann wäre doch der richtige Ort am Hörplatz mit einem Kunstkopf. Egal wie: Sie haben in jedem Fall die Raumakustik mit auf Ihrer Aufnahme.
@@HiFiImmersion Was habt Ihr denn für Mikrofone? Sind es Kugeln oder Nieren ? Und wenn Kugeln, sind es echte Druckempfänger oder synthetische Druckempfänger mit Doppelmembrankapsel?
While this sounds insanely good, some people can totally waste bucket loads of money to gain incremental improvements in sound over systems that cost way less and this system is a prime example of that excess. That TT is ridiculously over engineered......and seriously, ONE decent integrated amp is all you need......but I love the look of those speakers.
Quanti soldi buttati per non arrivare neanche un po’ a un cd audio. Però capisco, il giradischi è l unico strumento che può essere accordato come un vero strumento e questo forse giustifica la passione.
At least all of the blinking stuff seems to work. The only thing annoying me is that constant humming aound in the background. Probably coming from the nuclear plant nearby to drive this bunch of energy eaters.

Dire Straits were the first band to embrace digital. So try playing the cd on your installation. As you know the technician has to compress the original recording to get it onto a lp. On a cd he does not compress at all. So there is much much much much more information on a cd. Don't stay in the eighties. Join and embrace new technology. You don't need all this equipment to let a song sound fabulous. If you have enough money buy a separate cd transport and a good dac. You won't believe how good it sounds than
Leider ist High-End nur für diejenigen, die es sich leisten können, aber davon dürfen wir ja träumen. 🙂Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich unser Video angesehen haben.
Perhaps one could buy Dire Straits themselves for the price of this hardware (or at least a private concert) 😉 But that wouldn't be as satisfying or exciting as owning absurdly expensive equipment for the sake of it... Still, that could be explained. But delighting in its sound played via YT recording and a smartphone?.. 😳 Audiophilia is clearly a mental disease.
I suppose its the same as "Why have a 1940's classic car when you could buy a new all singing & dancing car with ABS , turbos, power steering, air con, heated seats etc etc,.... its the class & possibly the nostalgia and the art form of having a quality hi fi system.
Has that upper midrange and treble over-emphasis that wealthy audiophiles love. Men over age 50 with lack of high end hearing experience this as "detailed". Fairly obvious dynamics at play.
I have a dysfunctional relationship with vinyl - every time I try to quit it for good in favor of the much more convenient digital, I get a reminder of the sweet sweet sound you just can't get elsewhere... Great system and choice of music.

All that words to say something wrong…🤦🏼♂️
Thats the thing - he gets it.
Dann versuch zu fliegen, ohne Flügel
Itll sound way better.
Is an electric guitar
Better
Than an acoustic guitar
The differences can both be appreciated
So

Listen to this on my B&W px7s2e
Very clean and open sound but there's something I'm not liking in the midrange around 400 - 600Hz. It may just be a mic placement thing though.
Thank you for your comment. The frequency range you specified is pretty specific. Could you kindly explain to us how you figured out if you don't mind? It will help us improve. Thank you. 🙂
@@HiFiImmersion happy to oblige. I'm a recording, mixing and mastering engineer with four decades experience so I'm very sensitive to any anomalies. What I'm hearing is some resonance and unevenness in the frequency response in the range I mentioned. It really sounds to me to be most likely a combination of room modes and mic placement causing a small amount of comb filtering. It isn't a major issue and I don't think it is an inadequacy in the speakers, microphones, turntable or signal chain. I think you'd find moving the mics would alter the results but may not necessarily make things better or worse.
I must say though that I have little doubt the experience I person would not exhibit this phenomena to any significant degree. Human hearing is pretty good at compensating for such anomalies due to the simple fact that the brain smooths anomalies like this very effectively with even the slightest head movements. That is something you don't get with static microphones.
The fact that this system sounds so good in a video on RUclips recorded through microphones in a physical room is a testament to the quality of the system.
Was mir noch auffällt: Die Mikrofonanordnung ist alles andere als professionell! Die überbreite A/B erzeugt kaum einen definierten Mitteneindruck! Eine M/S mit einem Druck- und einem Druckgradientenempfänger wäre weit besser !
Thank you for watching. We try to record the sound you hear from the sweet spot of the particular place as closely as possible, so the microphone placement is rather unorthodox.
@@HiFiImmersion Dann wäre doch der richtige Ort am Hörplatz mit einem Kunstkopf. Egal wie: Sie haben in jedem Fall die Raumakustik mit auf Ihrer Aufnahme.
@@bachglocke3716 Well, that's actually not the case because of the spec of the microphones. We've tried. 🙂
@@HiFiImmersion Was habt Ihr denn für Mikrofone? Sind es Kugeln oder Nieren ?
Und wenn Kugeln, sind es echte Druckempfänger oder synthetische Druckempfänger mit Doppelmembrankapsel?
@@bachglocke3716 They are DPA4011As.
Como si por RUclips se pudiera saber cómo suena ese equipo imposible.
Estamos intentando grabar lo más fielmente posible a la realidad. 🙂Gracias por ver. 🙂
Is that a domestic setting ?
I'm afraid miking up speakers as a listening test just doesn't do any system justice
While this sounds insanely good, some people can totally waste bucket loads of money to gain incremental improvements in sound over systems that cost way less and this system is a prime example of that excess. That TT is ridiculously over engineered......and seriously, ONE decent integrated amp is all you need......but I love the look of those speakers.
Thank you for watching. 🙂
Stepladders are an optional extra
lol 😀
Now go listen to a streamed version of it
An dem Plattenspieler hat sich aber ein Schlosser ausgetobt
:-D
if this sounds good to u it's because your system is good
@@maverictomcat 😄 Indeed! Thank you for watching. 🙂
Quanti soldi buttati per non arrivare neanche un po’ a un cd audio. Però capisco, il giradischi è l unico strumento che può essere accordato come un vero strumento e questo forse giustifica la passione.
Grazie! :-)
Bahh!! Tem até capacitor de fluxo embaixo do toca-discos!!
lol 😀
At least all of the blinking stuff seems to work. The only thing annoying me is that constant humming aound in the background. Probably coming from the nuclear plant nearby to drive this bunch of energy eaters.
Another audiophool. You can't possibly evaluate the audio quality of anything by listening to RUclips audio reproduction of same.
Why do high end turntables always look so ridiculous?
the church of stereology🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for your compliment! :-)
Of course, now it’s been played once, the vinyl will have to be thrown away as all the Peter Belt magic bachelor nanoparticles have evaporated.
Haha that name is a blast from the past, wonder if they have sheets of A4 paper under the couch 😂
@@jonjones. lots…. But you mustn’t look at them or the effect is ruined. 😉
...Я нихрена не услышал, последний удар щётками по барабанам...) Специально несколько раз прослушал,- кроме скрипа пластинки,- ничего... ) А все пишут, что всё слышно ...?))
Good god, is there a more impressive set up uo than this.....I think not!
Dire Straits were the first band to embrace digital. So try playing the cd on your installation. As you know the technician has to compress the original recording to get it onto a lp.
On a cd he does not compress at all.
So there is much much much much more information on a cd.
Don't stay in the eighties. Join and embrace new technology.
You don't need all this equipment to let a song sound fabulous.
If you have enough money buy a separate cd transport and a good dac.
You won't believe how good it sounds than
Geiles Teil; muss man erstmal das Geld für übrig haben….
Leider ist High-End nur für diejenigen, die es sich leisten können, aber davon dürfen wir ja träumen. 🙂Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich unser Video angesehen haben.
I was hoping it'd be a cover version of the Metallica song. Slightly disappointed, but still cool nonetheless.
@@TheKnobCalledTone. Thank you! 🙂
I do the same with my 2.500 € equipment 🤣😂
For sure. Especially to listen through YT on a cheap chinese headphones 😂
@@crazyb1443 No no, made in ouzbékistan 🤣😂
I just cannot not hear clicks and crackles, love the involvement of vinyl but spoils it for me
If a vinyl is clean and well taken care of, you won't hear clicks and crackles. :-) Thank you for watching! :-) Happy New Year! :-)
There are a couple crackles around 1:40-1:50
@@tikabass That's true. 🙂Happy New Year! 🙂
@@HiFiImmersion Happy new year!
Think I’ll stick to my well tempered Amadeus ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Perhaps one could buy Dire Straits themselves for the price of this hardware (or at least a private concert) 😉 But that wouldn't be as satisfying or exciting as owning absurdly expensive equipment for the sake of it...
Still, that could be explained. But delighting in its sound played via YT recording and a smartphone?.. 😳
Audiophilia is clearly a mental disease.
Please use better equipment to watch it then. 😉 Thank you for watching! 🙂
нормально звучит
Quoi quil en soit, moi j'ai pas les moyens ni financiers et encore moins matériels (surface) d'héberger ce type de système chez moi...
That TT is a joke.
I do own one, and it's pretty good. ;-) Thank you for watching. :-) - Y.B.
Pretentious is the word.
I suppose its the same as "Why have a 1940's classic car when you could buy a new all singing & dancing car with ABS , turbos, power steering, air con, heated seats etc etc,.... its the class & possibly the nostalgia and the art form of having a quality hi fi system.
Do you really need this kind of equipment to play a 16bit/44.1khz digitally recorded track?
Вместо ракетных двигателей они проигрыватели штампуют.
Set for a bilionere from Dubai 😂
lol Thank you for watching! :-)
как тут пыль вытирать?
Just using brushes 🙂
Sounds expensive .
Unfortunately, better the sound gets, more expensive it is, but we can dream of having one. 🙂 Happy and prosperous New Year to you! 🙂
Has that upper midrange and treble over-emphasis that wealthy audiophiles love.
Men over age 50 with lack of high end hearing experience this as "detailed".
Fairly obvious dynamics at play.
Thank you for watching. 🙂
Sounds great (through my cheap Tablet), but that is one monstrously ugly turntable, in my opinion! ... And it's a dust magnet too!
