Fremer: "Do they sound any good?" Answer: "I don't know what do you think?" Fremer: "Do you play em' or have sex with them?" Answer: "I think it's really up to the owner, we did put a port on them"
"Getting rid of hum" is interesting. It must be common. I feel so lucky to be using my phono/hifi with a battery - inverter off grid power system. No hum ever.
I think i'll risk the $34 on that Jelco.. (..like?) tonearm. It didnt look much different from the 1970's / 1980's jobs, exactly the same implementation of it's anti-skate adjustment wheel, i'd be inclined to bet (a small amount) its exactly the same design but more cheaply made now, in 2024. C'est la vie, the old folks say, thats the way it can go. (Chuck's 1972 live version rules supreme) I expected an amused response but she missed the price confirmation from M.F.
If I were to invest in a company, it would be Project. They are ON IT! Smart useful products and a service to all of us upstream for introducing new people to good sound. Just smart products and approach...useful form factor, good quality and good price point..
Dreadful. Clumsy shaky out of focus footage in low light conditions, with boney knuckles and fingers and distracting legs walking in and out of shot. Unwatchable.
Absurdity is a nice way to say rip-off. Seemed like Alot of the used car salesmen were just throwing numbers out there. Great video though. You did better than I would have at not laughing in these guys faces. 😂
So do any vendors have any products of good quality that have prices that are based in reality? Or is this one of those expos where only companies who cater to rich snobs with more money than sense show up? I've never been to one of these before, so I don't really know.
This is a hobby,Not a necessity...I understand that a majority of the gear isn't for meer mortals and it is to show off the latest and greatest...But,It would be refreshing to see a few sellers highlight some of the cheaper gear.after all that is what they will sell more of in the long run.. that is what funds the development of the expensive gear.... I would put money on it If there was an expo that highlighted 100-5000 dollar gear,They could sell more gear and have happier customers and in the long run have more people interested in buying more expensive gear in the long run. But, That will never happen... There are two classes in society and audio...
@@richardelliott8352 ok? 🤔 Wasn’t going that direction. And weird you feel that way. So, when does your free show-report content get released on RUclips again? And when you’re not judging others, how are you helping this hobby?
Nice touch making each person wear a mic. Nothing worse than unintelligible verbal audio from other RUclips videos that claim to be about high-end sound. Finally someone who "gets it."
Many thanks for the great coverage Michael. Now if you could only get Annie to come and sing in your listening room with XVX/Dart as that would be an awesome video to watch.
'When you connect to the www you get a whole lot of noise because you're connected to everybody else'. That must have been the biggest bs of all audio-fool bs I have ever heard, but Fremer wholeheartedly agreed..
@@floydlaza8751I am here to watch the show in all its glory. Good gear, poor gear, silly and astute comments from exhibitors etc. Why do some say "why are U here then"? Don't know who "U" is but that ignorant shut-them-down comment exasperates me. We are not sheep.
Some really nice stuff, Michael. Good show Thanks for showing it to us, take care and God bless.🙏 Yes, some of it is too rich for my blood, but some not.🎶🎵🎸🎷👍👍👍👍👍👌

Fantastic that he finally realises that there is more to hi fi than a turntable. We actually got to see some speakers.
Everything looks like police radios! Sooo boring. I want big old VU-meters and brushed steel
Thanks again for bringing us along, the Wilson’s I thought were the most reasonable sounding room.
Would be nice to have some timestamps so we can jump to specific rooms/products.
Pricing is outa control.

1h0830 Looks like a properly "refurbished" TASCAM BR-20 N.
Dreadful. Clumsy shaky out of focus footage in low light conditions, with boney knuckles and fingers and distracting legs walking in and out of shot. Unwatchable.
i wonder when this absurdity in pricing is going to end its really out of control
Just don't buy it and quit bitching about it!🙄
Yes, the pricing in the high end has now taken on grotesque forms and the remaining mostly older fanboys are still defending it...
If you prefer live music, I think the world's tiniest violin is playing your song
If you are not buying, why complaining? 😅

Would be nice to see some actual innovation and not just new veneer finishes.
Yep, it has already been perfected but that doesn't make money lol😂
Feel free to take an R&D job with one of the manufacturers or start your own company

Because affordable gears are boring to read, watch, or talk about.
“The Full Fremer.” It’s just as much of a title as it is a warning / disclaimer 😂.
very diplomatic assessment of a guy who I think is bad for the hobby.

Didn’t know Matthew Broderick was into high-end
Lovely to see Project electronics being shown. I’m a big fan of my RS pre-amp.
it's a plastic world with them
Yep

A great video Mike! Keep'em spinning
Terrific report.
