I can dig it! It's cool for you to do this. It doesn't take a lot of money to enjoy music.
Tech firms have near or total monopolies. This has to, and I think will, be subject to multinational controls and agreements at some point.
There is a profound difference between an audiophile and someone who enjoys music.....only one of these pursuits is independent of how much money one spends. Although there is occasional overlap with some human beings
@@keplermission4947 to be honest , if you look at other big "hifi" channels , they have already become salesman. just saying KEF ls 50(terrible speakers - even with HIGH end amp) ... noone talking about Neat Acoustics Motive SX 2 or Rega rx -3 .......
Those young audiophiles have more serious money than I did back in the day.

@@andifucka7117 hand me downs, no wonder some of these pictures included vintage gear.
It is great that they appreciate good sound but Wilson Audio is going a little bit too far.
Living at home helps too lol
@@andifucka7117 my system is here, its reasonably expensive but since I can't afford to pay for working stuff, I buy broken and learn to repair as I go. Don't judge a book by its cover!
It is so encouraging to see that young people are in to DIY again, rather than blind consuming , just like in the old days.
I’m really impressed at these systems from younger
audiophiles.
This video just called me OLD in many different ways. Awesome stuff, Steve! Thanks for posting! Those are some badass systems!
Thanks
Steve when I was 16 my parents forced me to sell my motorcycle...I rode to dangerous levels which they did not take fondly to.I bought a complete Yamaha NS system(1982/3) which sounded amazing(turntable,tape deck,amp with loudness switch,speakers and an equalizer).Today I still have the bug which continues to effect my savings.
Thanks Steve, Jacoby and I enjoy your Channel. Jacoby wears glasses, at 11 he is self conscious about them. He really does like your glasses. We love your shirts too! Honest! Thank you for all your effort and great work. You made a young man very happy today!
So nice to hear!
It's amazing how many have LPs and turntables. Changing the name of LPs to 'Vinyl' is a marketing masterpiece
Yup! We used to call them “Reckawds”.
We've been calling them 'vinyl' since CDs first appeared . . .
@@christianmani1730 yep! lol!!
Oh this is cool. I've never met anyone my age in person who is also into audio. I'm a diyer
I have been into it since I was 16 in some form or another. I think I just settled into a stereo/ home theater hobby at age 30 out of realizing so much of what I do revolves around enjoying media. I am a DIY person on some things, but I have only made 4 sets of DIY speakers and 5 DIY subwoofers since I was 16 and only one pair of speakers in the past 3 years. I just like my LS50's more than any of the speakers I have done DIY right now.
Yes I've been into it since I was like 10 and my dad bought 2 giant speakers for our basement. And it said 500w on each of them and I was just amazed at how deep the music was and not shitty bass either. But we should start like an online club for younger audiophiles.
Im 31 and have been into audio since around 2001. Started with records, now i work for an audio company and do diy projects on the side, mostly into the vintage gear myself as its repairable and each unit has its own sound too it.
I see you everywhere, like no kidding this is probably the 20th time I've run into you on random videos, I first saw you because I used to watch C.S Joseph at the time and I've been seeing you all those years, kinda crazy
@@Entyipo ha ha that’s funny, similar interest, I guess
I have several friends under 25 who are just getting into vinyl and are trying to upgrade their systems. One of them is really into classic rock and just purchased Rush's first album on vinyl. I've been showing him how to clean his records and to care for them---its a very refreshing experience and it reminds me of my younger days.
Not sure what constitutes cleaning to you but I always like and still do the Last Preservative and liquid cleaner also believe in their StyLast stuff.
Dartboard above that setup...Brave 😂
Fire risk from the socket beneath.. 😖
Living life on the edge. Like a single ended tube amp
Haha. My bro is a serious dart player (playing 25 years, placed top three in multiple national tournaments). I don’t even let him near my audio gear when he’s packing. 😂
Especially the way I play darts
Great idea, man! Showing new trends, and old appreciation from The next generation of audiophiles! There is hope. Thank you.
Great to be featured - thanks Steve!
In hindsight, I should’ve removed the grilles so people could see the front-loaded horn of the Cornetta design...
They're beautiful speakers. A buddy and I have been thinking about making a Tannoy based build too. Maybe once we graduate!
The system from Dubai really reinforce the stereotype, probably cost more than some people's house
he might own a couple of slaves from indonesia too.
Not as much as a harem of wives.
The one at 10 minutes is mine :)
It is really fun to see younger audiophiles... I my self am 19 and sometimes I feel like I am in an old persons, nothing bad about that, hobby. This is quite encouraging.
Music for the soul-any age!(I was 14-15 when I get into hiding-I’m 51 now)
Rene, I started when I was around 13, loved to hear my friends, neighbors, etc. started building one piece at a time, many earlier pieces weren’t so good. Fast forward 33 years, I’m 46 years old now, love it more than ever, it’s a hobby, when I have some disposable cash, I buy something, when I don’t, I can still enjoy what I already bought. Thank you for helping to keep this hobby alive.
I got a pair of Polk Monitor 10a's the other week for $100 off Facebook marketplace. I love them very much. They are a joy to listen to. Especially at $100. I have them paired with a klipsch 10 inch sub and it sounds amazing
I love mine. Underrated for sure.
This is frigging amazing, Steve!!! CLEARLY young audiophiles are alive and kicking BUTT!
Part two, might be even better, posts on Saturday!
It's always so much fun to get a peek into other folk's music listening experiences. Looks like 'the kids' are gonna be alright =)
Love all these young audiophiles. Hope for the future 👍
This is a great video, encouraging that you have such a diverse age group participating in this. Great idea Steve
Watch ya show daily. Nice to see that there are still young ones out there that love music. Waiting for over 30 systems now. Just finished my new system and ready to show it off. ;)
I like seeing the real world system placements and setups about as much as seeing the equipment
Man straight up this is a service to the community
Wow. Nice systems. I started in my 3rd year of college. Sold all my equipment and then started again in my 30's and now 65 still collecting.
As a fan of the silver 70s components it's great to see them in use still. They were great in their day and most probably still are.
It am surprised how many young folks have vintage speakers from decades ago. We must be in the age of nostalgia.
Very cool video! Nice to see some young people into the hobby. Makes me reflect back to my own beginning. I was always into what we called "gadgets" then. That included anything from transistor radio on up. Bought my first "system"(an all-in-one) at 18 after entering the military. A year later I realized "separates" were the way to go. And I've been on the journey ever since. I now have two bona-fide home theaters and an old-school music listening-station(Sony STR-AV720 receiver, Technics SL-QD3 turntable, Kenwood KR2-400 cassette deck, Teac X-2000R reel-to-reel, Pioneer H-R99 is 8-track player with Bose 501 speakers). And yes I have material for all of it. Lol! Enjoy your ride young people. It's a journey that can bring you a lot of enjoyment!
Cool show! Thanks Steve. I enjoyed this one a lot.
Very nice presentation, Steve! As The Who says, The Kids are All Right!
Nice addition to your channel, loved it!
So refreshing to see the young into audio. Audiophiles Live On...
I really loved this video! Had to subscribe. My did was a HiFi enthusiast, had an old tube mono Klipsch corner speaker he built and a Knight amp and tuner. I had Realistic Minimus 7 system in the 80's. I got on my own and moved way to often and got very small systems from then on. Today a laptop is my system, vintage gateway 2000 speakers, will upgrade to a 3 piece with sub and maybe a newer pc. I became a fan of your channel a few days ago. Passing the HiFi legacy to a new generation. Awesome!
This was an awesome idea!!! Enjoyed every one of these.
lovely pics and setups :) Such a cool video idea!
This is use so amazing! Well done Steve.
This is a very cool series. Fun to see the young people getting into it. Brings back my own memories of catching the addiction.
I definitely noticed something here. There are folks who can deal with "busy" settings and those (like me) who prefer symmetry and order. No judgement here...just an observation.
Old saying: "It takes all kinds to make up the World." : )
It's free A-symmetrical sound diffusion
Seeing some of the systems, my hair stood on end.
Great job done Steve
Really nice Steve, really enjoyed that tour.
Back in the day I used to keep my LPs in two diy cabinets, and with all my kit, turntable etc on top. I honestly think that the weight of those cabinets and the 500 odd LPs made my system sound better than any rack I've bought and used since. I've gone off racks...!
I have a super big and deep cabinet DIY with rack of lps on the bottom and a lot of CDs and tt on top of the bottom rack on racketballs and a granite slab then the TT. One thing is fully clear with most of the setups, no where near enough ventilation and that tt floating on the top particularly in a non basement floor up high is kind of a problem or can be when one walks around.
@@JohnDoe-np3zk My turntable is still is on top of the diy shelf unit. My very heavy integrated plus just as heavy CD player are on the rack - and there's definite movement there. Suspended floor boards are bad news. I'm moving this year - things will change!
Really fun to see all that young audio enthusiasm!!! SWEET!!!
Super cool systems, Steve. Thanks
Some of these guys have better set ups than I had at that age 😆 some nice stuff in there.
Wonderful pictures. Great job.
As everyone else has already said. Its great to see young people getting into high end audio. Nice setups everyone. :-)
Hey Steve
That was another wonderful video you've posted 😉👌 ......... But can you imagine my amazement when I saw the photos of my rig at the end of the video 😮. And while its trully an honor to see it made it to the big time ............ I have to tell you I'm not under 30 but 30 x 2 😋 ........... So maybe I'll make it to the next one 😎👊.
It warms my heart to see some Polks in this video, being from Baltimore myself they're always going to have a place in my heart. Currently running monitor 70s for my L&R, Tsi CS10 center and lsim 702s for surround, hopefully one day lsim 707s and 706 to upgrade the front. Running off a Pioneer Elite VSX-LX303. Audio technica AT-LP60X with LP upgrade stylus and drive belt for now, when the budget allows I would love a Sota Comet V turntable and a receiver that has pre outs to run a separate power amp, as I said before, I love my Polks, but they're power hungry. 😁
Nice to see someone else that runs a set of Vintage Fisher Speakers. They get a bad rep but sound great with the right receiver/anp
Great video! It is amazing the depth of gear folks are rocking. How about a video or two of folks under the age of 18 and their systems. Maybe if they live close to you a interview.
Be happy, be safe
Would like to see more of these. Nice video man.
I bought the Mission 782 speakers new in about 2000 as part of my HT system. I still have them although they haven’t been connected to anything for sometime. They have a very nice mid range and, if I remember correctly, were EISA (European hi FI award) speaker of the year 1999/2000.
4:27 my system! I'm very humbled, Steve! :D
Thanks for being there!
Super nice setups wish I had these kids money
This is terrific!
Cheers to the new generation of audiophiles - especially the women! That is some serious stuff happening there. Contrary to what others may think, audiophiles are not a dying breed. Thanks mostly to the Audiophiliac!
Great fun seeing these setups...beats my Aiwa twin cassette-deck boom box (for making playlist tapes) I had my first year in college...
Haha, high speed dubbing!
14:37 ME!

14:52
😜 Thanks Steve!
Saved the best for last!
When I was 20 I had Dynaudio floor standers, a John Shearne Phase 1 pre with XA 200 mono blocks and a REL sub and a Merdian CD player all with high end cables. Sounded OK at the time.
really liked this video. 1st one watched in a while. the audio world needs big changes sooner. like the kef meta’s. and that double sub. love the tech. 30y.o.
Thanks for coming back!
It’s really great to see some youngsters into hi-if audio! It’s not about convenience all of the time, right? Wish I still had the Tandberg 64 R2R and Quad electrostatic speakers my dad handed down to me 30 years ago.
There all good pictures. Every one of them have good taste. 👍🏼👍🏼
Fantastic!! No need to worry about this hobby dying with the current white hair generation. You shared picture after picture of well thought out audiophile systems from every price range. Really nice systems. Also great to see both men and women into it.
Love the DIY at the start. The AR amps in Dubai are to die for. Open baffle coax speakers.
I think this was a better looking collection of stuff than many of the senior videos. Outstanding!
3:15 nujabes vinyl. I'm jealous and awed.
Lovely stuff!
That’s amazing I definitely would love to be able to show you my home theatre system and I’m only 18
I'm 41 and I'm still struggling to own a decent set up. When I was their age though, I had everything they had...in my dreams.
it depends what do you mean under the term "decent" :-)
@@rustypipe A GOOD TT AND AMP PLUS GOOD SPEAKERS. I OWN A TOY SONY J 2O TT AND A VINTAGE KENWOOD TT. NOT GOOD ENOUGH BY MY STANDARDS. JUST MANAGEABLE...PHEW
Steve I didn't know you liked those Polk speakers so much. I have the Model 10s and they really do still sound good. Other than bigger boxy cabinets, the passive radiator design seems to work a lot better than a ported design which I don't like. Anyway perhaps that 1" soft Peerless tweeter was the real winner on the Polks, it's a pretty sweet tweet.
the original Polks were great. I had a pair of Monitor 5's for a while until I traded up to Fuselier Model 3's. that kid with the Technics speakers at 2:12 looked to have a pair of Allison Acoustics sitting on the floor. My mom had a pair of Allison 6's that I got her and she loved 'em. ;)
Love Polk monitor 10 .Too good to get rid of!
i hope to get into the next one!
Wow I missed this! I’m 27 and run Focal Aria 926 (found a terrific deal on the discontinued “Noyer” model) with a Peachtree Nova300. Streaming through Bluesound Node 2i. Running a 12 inch Klipsch subwoofer with plans to upgrade that portion but am undecided on what to get.
i have a pair of vintage speakers designed by ed may for marantz, if i tell people what they are , they tell me to throw them in the garbage; however if people listen to them in my system without knowing their provenance , they are fulsome with praise.
I want to know who's bankrolling these kids? Seriously, it's fascinating to get a peak into the homes of fellow audiophiles around the world. Each set up creates an interesting mental picture of the person and personality behind it!
Isn't that brilliant? I really enjoyed looking at these systems Steve.
It's interesting to see that quite few of these listeners seem to have reverted to "speakers first" - if you get my drift.
It's a shame we don't have more Klipsch speakers knocking about in the UK.
Man i wish i had know about this series!
Well done Marius \m/
I love the one whose equipment rack looks like a 1947 era Singer sewing machine.
There IS hope for the future
Lots of nice systems!
I think you should do one for beginner audiophiles regardless of age, would love to show my system even though it's not crazy, but I sure pumped a lot of money into it :)
I don't have photos of it but the first good system I had consisted of Electro Research 320 speakers (by legendary John Iverson), PS Audio Elite Plus integrated amp, a Braun PS 500 turntable (designed by Dieter Rams) with Grado (can't remember the model #) cartridge, or my first turntable a Philips GA-212 with an Ortofon OM20 cartridge.
Liked vid, alot of really nice systems
This video renews my faith in the youth of America and the world!
What a great video.
Great systems!
Really nice change from the 500K speakers in the 'audiophile' mags, real systems from real people bought or made with real money they really earned.
Nice to see young people into audio!
Those Caintuck 15 inch open baffle speakers have real potential. I use the same drivers in my DIY open baffles.
Where do you guy speaker drivers? Cause lmao I want to build speakers but I’m really thinking of using high end car speakers cause I can’t find anywhere to buy speaker drivers new
@@santiagoaguilar8429 Google speaker driver sales. Parts Express, Madisound, US Speaker...just to name a few. The 15 in fullrange driver is from Lii Audio. It is 400 plus shipping for a pair. About 480 to my door. I love mine. Not intended to bang at 120 db, but great for most music.
how cool is everyones setup though!
Much more Retro Hifi than I thought it would be. Interesting.
congratulations to all those kids👍
I’m 28 and have a half decent system too - had I realised this was running I would have submitted it
Iam an old baby boomer and i didnt have a clue when i was young although friend of mine did. I was in my early twenties and a good friend in his later twenties had hh scott, empire troubador and jbl lansing. These kids know what their doing!!..i finally caught up in my forties..oracle delphi, audio research and vandersteens.
My system is on RUclips! HI MA!!!👋🏽
Feels great doesn't it! I was thrilled when mine was shown!
In 1979 i had the Altec Lansing series 9 speakers
powered by thw Sansui AU-717.Sold the whole thing to buy my first car
Who doesn't know Fane? 😳 They made Pink Floyd's speakers!
I didn't!
I just missed the cut off I’m so sad :(
Steve recommended most of my system!!
With all the discussion about DIYers, how about an episode featuring nothing but systems with DIY designs and builds? It might be weird and yet it might be inspiring. Whaddya think? 😉
I would be most interested in the DIY speakers, open baffle type for example, to me these hold the most promise of maybe beating out my Infinity Kappa 8s for example at a probably not out of the price range realm. As to building a 2.3 watt amp, not so much.
This video makes me feel so behind the times. I'm running an Ayon transport and DAC feeding a Audiozone AMP1 amp powering a pair of Rogers LS5/9s. I've researched and invested heavily into mains and vibration supports and thought my system sounded pretty damn good but it seems everybody has moved past CD to either vinyl or streaming.
Maybe you can do a callout for photo's of "off grid" systems?
28, Genelec 8260 3 way diffractionless studio monitors with concentric drivers and Genelec 7271 dual 12" subwoofer with the largest port you've never seen, perfectly integrated with GLM. Then for surround sound, two Kali IN-5 speakers.
Need more active monitors that can flawlessly play from genre to genre with a wide sweet spot and great off axis response!
