Florida International Audio Expo Days 2 and 3

Ha! You lost me in the first, 29 seconds of your video. With your lack of microphone presentation. Are you kidding me? Or, is it just, gross incompetence? And knowing what good sound is supposed to be. Without knowing.

What's even more pathetic. My eagle eyes, spot a wireless microphone. Clipped to your jacket. You forgot to turn on. You're so exacting, in your work for clarity. Right?

Just the fact. You never bothered to redo your audio track. Tells me about your service, after the sale. Incompetent.

Otherwise? This is a great joke video. I think it's very funny. The best that Mediocrity, has to offer.

I think I am the only person who did solid state preamplification and vacuum tube amplification. I guess I just love the tube triode sound!

I’m totally going to following you at your new music Chanel because I enjoy your music segments. I think this is great idea and love this idea to do deep dives in just the music separate from the equipment. My wife and I love your “80s Patio Mix” playlist on Spotify so perhaps pick some bands or songs from that playlist for your first set of videos.
Forever a fan of OldGuyHiFi!!!

Damn excellent reporting! People don't realize how good you make these videos, your definitely the best at these shows! You ask all the great question's!😮😊

I, for one am sick of this snooty high end crap. Who has the money for this stuff? Hardly anything here for folks that are not filthy rich. I would like to go to a show that features only affordable equipment. Young audiophiles watch this drivel and feel so damned defeated. They feel like they will never be able to break into this hobby. Pure joy can be achieved for a fraction of these prices. I’m never watching another one of these bullshit videos. You people are ruining the whole industry.

Do you have split supply for the valves as well, that will really be inusual

Soon none of this sh*t going to matter anymore.

Well Audio company Danmark has very clear shown us, you only need 1 device for grounding your whole system, not like Troy box as many the client wants,Troy did made not a stable impression on me

That's overwhelmingly not hifi, it's jewellery for oligarchs. Thank goodness we still have a handful of companies with a grasp of the engineering required to produce quality audio equipment such as Rega & Technics.

Those Viemna Acoustic speakers were indeed astounding. I had to close my eyes and imagine the concert stage or I became confused looking at their diminutive size. The imaging, clarity, and realism belied their price and stature (presuming one can subtract out the YT corruption and imagine). That was fun.

🙄🤤class a and tubes...muuulm

TOO MUCH LOOT FOR ME

I love hifi but the prices are CRAZY! Even if I had money to afford some of the absurdity I wouldn't. It is RIDICULOUS! No rocks in my head (no shade intended but if you the $$$$, want it, buy it). As for grounding speakers, Audiovector does this using a grounding cable on some models.

Certainly plenty of opportunities to waste vast sums of money!

Grounding box easy to make couple metal plates and some resistors and then to Earth. If you want to do your speakers just put a 500 ohm resistor like he's done on the bolt to ground on your amplifier like the phono ground terminal

Jerry Bloomfield, really engaging & articulate orator. Wish I was a rich man...

Good luck to Lucca Chesky. He sounds like a charming, well grounded young man...

Dealer and Distributor margins must change! Giving them 60% does not make sense.

That java system did sound great on my headphone rig...great recording.

Michael, It's a shame you missed the 0 Audio room. They were debuting the new Icon 12 speakers which Steve Huff raved about. Ps: I love the Massiv Audio Design racks and Carbide Audio Base feet in the Gobel room. And agree the Metaxis Tourbillon R2R deck looks cool.

🎉ONEIROS

So many ignorant comments here! Makes me sick to my stomach!

Good find Mr. Fremner. Proving, once again, your credibility. Thank you.

Give me vintage Stereo equipment over this junk Michael is showing here. That Michael Fremer reminds me of that famous hypochondriac character Felix Unger of the Odd Couple ( Tony Randell) snorting out his pompas silly videos of this garbage junk. This new hi tech audio gear rubs me the wrong way. Alot of it is just snake oil. At this stage in my life at 63 I made the decision to down size my audio setup.
This new age gear is starting to look ridiculous and hideous. Starting to resemble something I see in sci-fi movies..good grief!
WOOF.....WOOF!

i am convinced we are at a dead end now in hi fi, the prices, there is only so much lily gilding that can be done for no return on the investment anymore its over we are looking at window dressing and moving deck chairs on the titanic
