great love this stuff
You need to go back when everything is built.. The new Naim Turntable/Arm (made by Clearaudio designed by Naim) is said to be special..
Very good job Dave… can’t wait to see the finished product….
Thank You.
Stupid question, but why does those expensive turntables have 2 tone arms?
Wait until you listen to the new Node Audio Hylixa Signature speakers Major Breakthrough!
Wow good for Joe! Seems like he has a handle on things. Love that he is including room treatments and construction practices. If I’m ever in Jacksonville I will definitely stop by. Best of luck to him!
Keep us updated please!
Just wanna go to the store and take a Giant Schitt. For me the smartphone has become the new Walkman. I remember as a kid how happy I was to get my first Sony Walkman with digital tuning and auto reverse. Here at 41 my mind is blown with what we have today. I remember my first stereo VCR and getting my first ever portable CD 💿 player. Man I feel old!! Love your channel. Keep talking Schitt brother!!
I couldn’t afford the first setup lol. But nice job and it seems like a legit operation.
I enjoyed this a lot it reinforced with me the value of used gear – jeez those prices!!! Might be the biggest reason shops like this went away!!!
You will have to do a follow up on House of Stereo when they are done with expanding. Good job on giving the background on the rise and fall of Hi Fi equipment and the tour of House of stereo.
Thanks for shining the spotlight on this stereo /home theater shop. I’ll be at axpona this weekend. 👍
Good good stuff here! In a perfect world, I’d have the capital to open a small store and sell records/physical media as well as used gear/repairs. Maybe carry new stuff down the line, id lean towards affordable/modestly priced brands.
Wish this place was close to me. What a great concept!
Love this video … love the passion
i was just in jacksonville on vacation, wish i had known about this place (no shops where i live) will have to check them out next time
Why does all of Joe’s "S’s" have so much SIBILANCE to them that it has me instantly lowering the volume through my speakers??
Almost like some stupid high-pitched whistling sound.
Is it the $hitty camera that "My Own Devices" is using or an issue somewhere else?
Otherwise…a nice and informative video.
This year, I’ve been in 100 houses $1m to $10m in the Tampa/St Pete area (installing appliances) and only 2 had hifi gear. One guy had B&W 700 series towers with vintage mono-block tube amps (sounded heavenly) and the other guy had Martin Logan 6 1/2’ers with 10" woofers and a 6′ x 5′ rack with Mac’s and Para’s, etc. Not many audiophiles out there, percentage-wise.
Keep up the good work, and thanks for the video! Love them!
I wish there was any kind of hifi audio places here, most of what I have picked up was from marketplace or other, Liked video alot, Thanks 👍
Wonder how he will address the glass in the theater room? Glass is the worst thing for speakers. Curtains? Better yet,
activated carbon diaphragmatic absorbers?
$26,000 speaker system, "holds it’s own?" I’m looking for a complete $395 , all in one, economy package.
Thanks for taking us along for the trip, appreciate your effort. Hope this place is very successful.
btw we call it "T und A" – T and A not T plus A even though it is written this way 😉
Other channels do these same videos. Even with a cell phone mic, they don’t sound as bad as this. Did you use a mic and set the gain too high gain or something. How on earth did you not hear the grating harshness and sibilance in this recording?
Purchasing a home with today’s inflation, does not leave much to spend on audio gear.
In the UK,I like richer sounds, always had good results.👍🏻🇬🇧
Nice to share with us Dave, one thing is sure you need a fair bit of money to go shopping there
Buy direct from Wyred 4 Sound. Son of Ampzilla ll w/20.7s W4S DAC2V2SE, Node, kimber carbon XLR
this is fun, please updatw when they are done with the place 🙂
Glad to hear the owner talk about the room. The room is the most important component in an audio system. Room treatment should be addressed BEFORE spending more money on equipment. IMHO, the room and its treatment is the most overlooked part of audio reproduction. It is obvious from looking at all the pictures and videos on YouTube and Facebook. Also speaker placement is crucial for soundstage. It is amazing to me how many people have their speakers up against the wall or have an audio rack between their speakers. Audio racks between the speakers kill soundstage.
Hey Dave, is it just me or am I just an old man holding on to the music of my youth? It seems to me today’s music wouldn’t benefit significantly playing high end audio equipment. You know, the old garbage-in-garbage-out thing.
Amazing that a new retail space for stereo can even exist in these awful times… Hope you visit them when they’re all done with their construction. Please take us along, too!
