    Also surprised to see my system at 13:15 😎. Living in the Netherlands, O/96's delivered bij Audio Life. Both LP12 plinths are from 1987. During the years the LP12 has almost all upgrades and together with the SET 300B, at the picture this with WE300B and Takatsuki 274B, the O/96 are really singing. It is nice to see so many systems in so many different rooms. One common goal, enjoying music and the lovely Devore speakers. Thanks for the updates John!

    The problem with photographs of audiophile sound systems is that they tell you nothing about how they sound. I know many audiophiles place great importance on how they look. Personally my only interest is how they sound because that is their function.

      @iampuzzleman282 IMO practically everything on the high end market today ranges from plain and drab to downright goofy. Being an engineer I had to invent my own. It wouldn't win any prizes for appearance but I was only interested in sound. However, IMO much vintage equipment was much more pleasing to look at and had far more functional features than their current counterparts.

I had someone try to sell me a $2000 bass for $125. I don't know how to play bass or might have taken him up.

    Anyone still into "HiFi" has no idea what they are talking about. I've spent the last 20 years going around painstakingly collecting old DNA samples from not only the jazz greats but all musical savants. For now they are stored inside of Barbasol cans but, using AI and frog DNA I have started to create tiny clone musicians. You want Zeppelin? I have a tiny Jimmy Page and Robbert Plant that I can make sing for me whenever I like and they are no bigger than a flip flop. The future is NOW, HiFi is DEAD!

    John when it comes to the Beatles, you just don’t get it Please don’t think you do. Don’t think you’re getting it now. Don’t believe you’ve just had a revelation. You still just don’t get it. You’re not part of that generation. I grew up with the Beatles. You were already a grown man that had already formed his opinions and prejudices when you discovered them, you are a man with discriminating taste. Don’t take that as a put down. I’ve been in the Music business since 1966. I’ve seen this kind of music lover many times. There is nothing wrong with that. The Beatles were a phenomena. I know people that hated Bob Dylan, but loved Joan Baez singing his songs, I think that’s a comparison similar to where you were on your road to becoming an Audiophile.
