This 8 Minute video felt like one of the most engaging and fun half-hour documentaries I've ever seen. Every shot an artpiece, packed with fun details and creativity. This is the peak, second to none.
That's because how majority of self-centered tech channels operate - they shove in a ton of information with mugging, manual booklet readouts and only occasional b-roll. Posy, being perhaps smarter than all of them combined - went the opposite route. "Here's a cool thing, LOOK AT IT" and whole thing is b-roll with small commentary essentially. It just better to look at cool things.
Posy Videos about Screens and his music are too soothing to be real. You are right, in a kind it feels like 30 Minutes and also 2 Minutes. Its packed with visuals and information but also feels short because you get into that relaxed state. Every once in a while I watch his Segmented Displays or VFD Displays, also all the LCD Videos and it feels like I am smoking things. Absolutely amazing, his voice, the visuals and the music.
There's something beautiful with late 80's to mid 90's Hi-Fi audio equipment. The combination of the button design and placement, screens with warm and/or vivid colors, all the writings on the case about technical functionalities (DIGITAL, 1-bit Delta/Sigma DAC, 3Head Closed Loop Dual Capstan, dbx, Dolby NR, etc...), and casing material and visual aspect is simply stunning. Hi-Fi audio equipment nowadays is more akin to the late 70's and early 80's design language (brushed aluminum with no screen or a small screen with only one color) which is not bad by any mean but I feel like something is missing.
Actually big displays is a retro look, but we thought it were futuristic in 1980's. Big displays for many years were moved to Tablets used as remote control for receivers. Yamaha have the best i ever seen. Denon among the worst tablet remote i ever seen. I have Yamaha and Denon receivers with WI-FI Remote support, so i know.
When it comes to HiFi the 60s and 70s are by far superior with their completely analog construction that lasts a lifetime and ignites, can e easily repaired by everyone with an soldering iron and the schematics. Also: tubes! What more do I have to say? Nothing trumps tubes!
I love electronic equipment from the '90s, designed by people for people, with full control given back to the user. Every device back then had a hidden control panel somewhere, with lots of dials and switches - even a simple TV. Here we have a good example.
It was. Hi-Fi was one of the main consumer electronics categories in those days; competition was fierce and manufacturers put loads of effort into making them as cool as possible. Nowadays the scene's shifted to computers, smartphones etc., and stereos are mostly just smart speakers and soundbars. Arcades were streets ahead of home consoles in that era, with the home ports pretty lame in comparison. Then consoles caught up and arcades mostly died off, as no one really wants to pump money into a machine if you can play the same or better at home.
@@axi0matic I have 2 out of 3 component systems at home in use and needless to say I know people who have a much larger home with 70" plus tvs,newest iPhone, and ps5 but the audio ends up being a small bluetooth speaker for music. Hifi is underrated
@@albertpintor3522 In the 'olden days', there were only a few channels of TV, so it was quite common for there to be nothing worth watching of an evening. Just sitting and listening to music was perhaps more common. These days, there's practically infinite content on RUclips and streaming services (and broadcast TV, I guess), plus the Internet, games etc. so music tends to be something that's just in the background e.g. whilst cooking.
There's just something so beautiful about these types of displays. Love em. I'm talking about these VFDs and back-lit LCDs, Having your display be made out of analogue glowing segments instead of a digital screen is just nicer, in my opinion. I don't really know why.
its like a radioactive glow, its out of this world. pro tip: some fluorescent plastic over the blue ones puts the effect on steroids. the aliens have landed.
My favourite receivers are the ones where the volume control on the remote tells a motor to physically move the big volume knob. My pioneer VSX-4400 does that 🙂
80s receivers are the best. I'm still rocking a pioneer from that era with wooden side panels like your "proof of concept". Some day I might change those too whenever I find some wood worthy of being on it.
feieralarm you can still buy these Surround things in 2024 ! Wood mounted too ! ATMOS receiver, google it. The Yamaha models i bought is almost 1968, better ?
Posy, I just want to THANK YOU for those interesting videos. Mindfully planned, with detail in every shot, the soothing, calm voice for the voice-over and the careful selection of just the right music, which you even compose and produce yourself. One can only appreciate the work you put in for this! Every video is like a wind-down meditation trip with the bonus of learning something interesting.
My favourite volume control scheme is a motorised knob. Where you can rotate the knob directly on the device and the remote jogs it as well. So a motorised potentiometer volume control where the front panel only has buttons... removes the best feature of what they already had in the hardware! The side panels that you made ALMOST look awesome. What's missing is mounting the screws flush by careful counter sinking or Forstner, whichever is appropriate for the screw type.
I never realized how much I adore the aesthetics of moving knobs from the remote, that's so cool! I mean yeah, digitalization has improved just about everything, the fewer moving parts the better, but I still miss it.
@@AlexN0 A good oil sealed potentiometer can last for decades with no degradation, and you can twist it half a million times no problem. And if you do have to drop a new one in eventually, well everything wears down including the surfaces and contacts of digital controls. Also repair of circuits based on custom ICs and custom firmware, well what are you going to do short of re-engineering the whole thing. EEPROM don't last an eternity either, a very substantial portion of ones from the late 80s and even early 2000s now suffer bitrot, the data stored on the parasitic capacitor of a MOSFET just drains away very very slowly. I think they went away for cost, a motorised pot can be 20 EUR. But like... you're paying hundreds for that HiFi gear.
Well, Posy IS the creator of those songs so that could be attributed to him, i guess? The songs really do go with the vibe of the video tough, that's certain!
I just discovered your channel and your music (about 20 mins before I wrote this comment) and i inmediately fell in love with it, the only way I can describe the feeling that it gives me is "It scratches a very specific itch on my brain", greetings from Colombia.
The audio quality is very good on your videos. I love your sense of humor bro. Sound like a top bloke. Sending power and blessings from Melbourne Australia
Side panels really make it look something special. I loved my old Pioneer sx-450 I had when I was a kid. It had wooden side panels (although fake mdf) it looked so nice with the big incandescent back lit tuner display. ❤️
I had one of these JVC receivers which came with the LCD Remote back in 1988. Mine was the stereo version of this receiver. The display on this receiver, and everything receivers from the late 1970s to the late 1980s were really sexy.
jediknightdiscomike22 i only remember the remote, it was 1989, we watched the re release of Star Wars on it, Laser Disks ! not on SP Div, more i don't remember. That Display was normal back then, same as the VHS and Laser machines...
the fact this has dsp is something i did not expect, the reverb could definitely have some weird sound design use case, wonderful video as always love the camera work
A couple years ago someone on Twitter posted a photo of an RX-9V and asked if anyone wanted it. A few days later, I took it out of the box and set it up with a JVC CD player I already had (an XL-Z444) and created a short but beautiful stack with a thousand buttons to constantly tinker with during playback. The 9V lacks the wild reverb and Dolby Surround features, and the amp generally has a poor SNR and can pick up signal from nearby inputs, but sometimes the enjoyment you get from looking at and touching it is far more important than perfect sound quality. I later found a 1001V at a thrift store but it was extremely damaged, wouldn't power up and they still wanted $50 for it. Thank you for sharing, I finally get to see one in excellent condition and a unique take on it and its displays.
I have a gripe with Posy... Not only did he made Cursors that I can't live without, he made me very invested into multiple Segment Displays! Now everytime I see something with an LCD, I need to get it and look at the Design. Posy truly sparked a joy in me that I never knew I had!
Your videos are the only ones I make special time to watch, with a good pair of headphones to make sure I don't miss a detail, just a wholly different consumption experience to the rest of RUclips. I love "everything and nothing" but it's never nothing, its detail! I just don't think there's too much praise to give you and your work, thank you for making your wonder our wonder.
My JVC RX-777V (separate receiver, tape player/recorder and CD player) grabbed my attention not long after discovering your channel and I recorded some display videos inspired by you. It's truly beautiful and I'd never appreciated it this way. I have the manual (for which I had to break its password protection, because all google searches led me to sites selling the manual??? insane) in case you want it.
The selection of close-up shots, commentary and music makes your videos one of a kind. If I could describe it with a single word,, I'd choose "aesthetic", but without the vaporwave context.
All of your videos are so entertaining, educational and engaging. I've rewatched many of them two or three times since finding your channel last year. I always look forward to your next upload, keep up the amazing work!
Hey I would like to congratulate you, the visual fidelty of this youtube video is amazing, half of the time i was thinking this is rendered in unreal engie 5 or something... Incredible photograpy/videography!
😂 I just found your channel and loved the 89 button receiver review. I hope that 89th button wasn't a death ray. I'll be back to see what offerings you have in the future. Good job
Genuinely this is one of my favorite yt channels, so well produced and so slow, with love and honest interest to the subject or object you are presenting, i enjoy so much watching other people's hobbies it becomes mine as well sometimes, keep the good work, following each video with care and atention :)
JVC RX 1001V Hi Fi Receiver made in 1989. This is the prettiest looking audio Receiver i have ever seen with that eloborate LED illumination display and these fantastic features! This is the first time i see this JVC Receiver model with its 89 buttons! Such a sophisticated Recever! I wish i have one of these! Thank you for the video!
That is a beautiful beast. 80's were best times for consumer electronics design and glorious, over-the-top control panels. Also thank you for solving the mystery of reverse pseudo-high contrast LCD. 'always wondered about that.
I was rotating the polarizers in my solar powered calculators in junior high school in the early 90's, I have never seen this JVC amp it is amazing. Love the videos on your channel and the Lazy Posy channel. I watch your Alfa Romeo 159 video regularly since those are not readily available in Canada, Thank you for your content and eye for detail!
Canada, Honda is the Hot car there, are people still able to pimp older models, too fancy ??? You should import cheap BMW models from Germany, they don't need them.
My dad owns a RX-950V who bought it brand new in the 90's, still rocking with a newer JBL ES80. Unluckely radio and remote control don't work anymore. it's quite powerfull for it's time 120 rms per chennel. Love your receiver, extremely elegant!
The production values keep getting better. You make it look easy, the video is both engaging and relaxing, but I know for sure setting up those tracking shots and macros, and editing the video, was no picnic. Excellent stuff, Posy!
These screens remind me of my childhood in the 2000's. They still look futuristic. UI now can be remodelled and redeployed so easily on any screen without the need of changing the hardware (eg, web applications). Conceiving UIs is a craftsmanship that evolved a lot.
Your clock LCD needed an additional retarder layer as well as the polarizers to avoid the colours (making it FSTN). The original sheets probably had it as it provided greater contrast even when the display isn't inverted.
"more buttons = better" is a tried and true fact, that unfortunately has been forgotten in modern technology. Screw your touch screens, give me buttons, dials, sliders, knobs and everything!
3:23 -- My brother actually had a JVC receiver with a display kind of like that. The spectrum analyzer was cyan, and the rest of the display was yellow, green, and red. It was the silver R-X400. There was also a black one, but the display on that was just yellow.
Wow!! That's a really awesome looking receiver!!! Back in '93, my dad bought a buttonless JVC surround sound receiver that somewhat resembles the one shown in this video. However, the display on my dad's receiver was just one color. It also didn't come with a touchscreen remote either, but a standard type of remote instead. I believe the receiver shown in this video is a higher-end model and was more likely much more expensive. It also looks like it has many more buttons too. Thanks for sharing this! UPDATE: After a quick ebay search, I believe my dad's receiver was a JVC RX-707VTN because it literally looks identical from what I remember. So yes, the RX-1001V is a big step up from that one. That multicolor display is beautiful!!! With that said, it looks like a custom job because the photos of other JVC RX-1001V receivers I've seen online seem to reveal only one or two colors on the display which are red and gold (or light brown?).
Actually a good idea to clad the sides with wood. This allows you to mix and match different model series from one manufactuers or even other manufacturers.
At that time, the hi-fi/AV system seemed to have features and design ahead of its time!! The filming technique and beautiful display make it even more realistic.

Very easy on the eyes, rarely too bright even when watching a movie.
That cool future from the 80s that we only got when the 80s came
they have the "blade runner" look. and thats amazing

Yamaha have the best i ever seen. Denon among the worst tablet remote i ever seen.
I have Yamaha and Denon receivers with WI-FI Remote support, so i know.
Attention everyone: Posy has uploaded.
what?! no way!
That's crazy
For real?
Who?
Wake up! Posy has posted!
This is why the 80's electronic era was the best. Pure form + function with beautiful technical details.
For solid state yes.
I'd say the opposite - hardly a pure form, and packed with useless functions 😉 Fun though 😀
When it comes to HiFi the 60s and 70s are by far superior with their completely analog construction that lasts a lifetime and ignites, can e easily repaired by everyone with an soldering iron and the schematics.
Also: tubes!
What more do I have to say?

Don't forget to pick up your free battery while at Radio Shack!

Every time Posy posts a new video, it's one more reason to believe in the quality of RUclips.
I wonder how he dose it every time. I think he knows something about how youtube likes its footage to avoid artifacts.
My favourite receivers are the ones where the volume control on the remote tells a motor to physically move the big volume knob. My pioneer VSX-4400 does that 🙂
I have a NAD C 320BEE amplifier which does the same thing. Love it!

Posy cooking hard again as usual. I really like your cinematography especially those macro shots. and the simulated audio is a very nice touch
I really wish modern HiFi components would still look like this.

my dad has a SONY amp/receiver like that and it was fascinating at the time.
The older digital volume/level control chips made, added certain clicking noise to the audio signal...motorized potentiometers didn't...
Few creators execute cohesive and consistent aura to their videos the way this guy does.
The background songs are so good it almost feels like they were designed as a showcase for the HIFI hardware presented in the video.
Well, Posy IS the creator of those songs so that could be attributed to him, i guess? The songs really do go with the vibe of the video tough, that's certain!
This is truly what RUclips should be , fun , informative and done PERFECTLY!! , man you raised the bar so high for us to follow .....
The visuals? Beautiful.
The sound design? Flawless.
The narration? Thoughtful and fun.
The end result? Magic.
So happy to see you uploaded again!
Seconding that.
Looks nice. Nice proof of concept.
The money shot for me was a tiny glimpse of the back of this beautiful machine. 😍🥰😘🥰😍🥰😘🥰😍🥰😘

My dad owns a RX-950V who bought it brand new in the 90's, still rocking with a newer JBL ES80. Unluckely radio and remote control don't work anymore. it's quite powerfull for it's time 120 rms per chennel. Love your receiver, extremely elegant!
Is that by JVC!?
love these old tech
Damn those visuals :O
And yes, nice proof of concept indeed.
Right!?
The production values keep getting better. You make it look easy, the video is both engaging and relaxing, but I know for sure setting up those tracking shots and macros, and editing the video, was no picnic. Excellent stuff, Posy!
Another masterpiece, Posy!! Beautiful work!
Also, that edited display looked GORGEOUS, I don't know how you did that so well, haha!
Your videos take me back to childhood. To a time when I would explore all the devices which got replaced by computers.
I absolutely love your content and this is one of the most well produced and hilarious things you've put out so far, it's amazing. Well done :)
Oh man look at that thing... so many buttons... BEAUTIFUL
This is by far the most beautiful piece of old hardware I've seen in a long time!
Man I love your display collection
These screens remind me of my childhood in the 2000's. They still look futuristic. UI now can be remodelled and redeployed so easily on any screen without the need of changing the hardware (eg, web applications). Conceiving UIs is a craftsmanship that evolved a lot.
Verifiably False Displays. But an appreciable one. Love it!
Your clock LCD needed an additional retarder layer as well as the polarizers to avoid the colours (making it FSTN). The original sheets probably had it as it provided greater contrast even when the display isn't inverted.
I came to say exactly this
I love the work you put into each video, you can see the great production you do in each one
please never stop making these
"more buttons = better" is a tried and true fact, that unfortunately has been forgotten in modern technology. Screw your touch screens, give me buttons, dials, sliders, knobs and everything!
I had this receiver, thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Ahhhh good old JVC stuff... Always puts a smile on my face! I still have my JVC TD-W801 tape deck and my dad's old JCV RX-777V receiver!
They still sell them, wood rackmounts too, on ATMOS now !
Compact Cassette is dead now, sorry about that.
The display reminds me of my old Pioneer VSX9500! A fantastic amp- i loved using the remote and seeing the volume knob physically rotate from afar
Seeing flagship old devices today is really interesting. I wouldn’t know of this one if you hadn’t made the video. 😉
Your production quality is incredible 🤯
3:23 -- My brother actually had a JVC receiver with a display kind of like that. The spectrum analyzer was cyan, and the rest of the display was yellow, green, and red. It was the silver R-X400. There was also a black one, but the display on that was just yellow.
Wow!! That's a really awesome looking receiver!!! Back in '93, my dad bought a buttonless JVC surround sound receiver that somewhat resembles the one shown in this video. However, the display on my dad's receiver was just one color. It also didn't come with a touchscreen remote either, but a standard type of remote instead.
I believe the receiver shown in this video is a higher-end model and was more likely much more expensive. It also looks like it has many more buttons too.
Thanks for sharing this!
UPDATE: After a quick ebay search, I believe my dad's receiver was a JVC RX-707VTN because it literally looks identical from what I remember.
So yes, the RX-1001V is a big step up from that one. That multicolor display is beautiful!!! With that said, it looks like a custom job because the photos of other JVC RX-1001V receivers I've seen online seem to reveal only one or two colors on the display which are red and gold (or light brown?).
Actually a good idea to clad the sides with wood. This allows you to mix and match different model series from one manufactuers or even other manufacturers.
What an awesome display! I wish they made equipment with displays like this again!
I _always_ watch your videos with headphones and on a big screen, and I'm _never_ disappointed.
At that time, the hi-fi/AV system seemed to have features and design ahead of its time!!
The filming technique and beautiful display make it even more realistic.
