This is truly an insane setup, that's essentially like a $200k turntable. You can get a pretty awesome setup (by most standards) for the cost of his backup cartridge.

I don't know if it's the recording or the room but I'm hearing some major resonances that just shouldn't be there in a system that costs a million bucks. I'd be willing to place a wager that it wouldn't be hard to find a $100k system that sounds better and a $25k system that gets you 95 percent of the way there.

And I believe the guy was recording off of his phone it sounded 100 times better... So...hmmm..

Sorry this is so old and I'm replying anyway, but I was feeling like this sounded awful while listening, like it was an accurate recreation of the instruments, but it was playing in the next room. Ignoring the quality of the binaural recording setup, because I don't have personal experience with it, the microphones were placed over 20 feet away from the speakers. There is no system that sounds like $1M, but I'd be willing to be this one sounds much better than the current representation if you were sat in the proper sweet spot, let alone being there in person. But ya regardless of how good this sounds, $100k can get you the exact same sound. The technology in the tonearm on that turntable is super cool, though.

I know I will sound different, but I can't help falling in love with a piece of Beautiful music played on 30 years old radio rather than cacophony played on $1000000 unnecessarily complicated amplifiers.

@@urwholefamilydied Imo a good binaural recording can capture to some extent a hi fi system like this to perhaps 80-90%. It depends alot on the mics and recorder being used. The unique way of recording like this is that you get to experience the position of the speakers and the acoustics of the room. Once the sound gets compressed and you listen through headphones a lot of the hi fi gets lost. So listening through an uncompressed file is best. Listening through HQ studio headphone monitors will give the best representation of what was recorded. Having that said this recording needs some improvements.

@@1sotheary The owner of this equipment is apparently about 50-60 years old. And at this age, each person's hearing sensitivity drops by 2-3 kilohertz!!! The frequency range that distinguishes the human ear at this age is about the same as what can be recorded on an ordinary compact cassette from the last century and played it on a cheap Sony Walkman cassette player !!! It is impossible not to agree with this. Arguing with the physiology of the human body is like arguing with your age and the limited time of your life! So... The owner of this expensive equipment perceives sound more visually (admiring his investment in super hi-fi-fetishes) and kinesthetically (stroking the mahogany lacquer of his acoustic systems with his fingers)!!! A million dollars... How many hungry and homeless people could be fed... Everything that he shows us here - he should not brag about it, but be ashamed of it!!!

Love the perspective: separate yourself from the financial aspect and embrace the sonic horizon

Spectacular. Great job presenting the system, the sound, the space, and adding a lot of interesting information. When you label everything and also present the distances, I appreciate that. The super-expensive systems are important in the audiophile industry because the advancements and innovations that begin there eventually make their way down to the gear the rest of us can afford, making it better and better.

I’m normally very sceptical about this level of equipment etc, but I found the presentation very professional and engaging. Excellent graphical presentation and delivery. Well done young lady.

I'm surprised a one million dollar system would have a simple back loaded horn for bass? I wonder how these would sound with more difficult tracks that have a lot more going on like a full orchestra or something. Sounded great for the sparse small ensemble pieces. Anyway, I admire the passion of someone building a system like this. Keep up the videos.

Firstly, great presentation, thank you so much, and good to see a lovely young lady with intelligence, passion, aspiration AND humility; you were one of the highlights of the video. I have to say that the video made me happy in an unexpected way... As you advised, I listened through some (in my opinion) excellent 20 year old MB Quart 95X headphones, then I did the same again through my B&W CDM1 SE speakers of a similar age, and I can see no reason why I would need to spend anywhere near $1m dollars (if I had it!) to enjoy listening to music. I wonder what "You And Your Friend" or "Telegraph Road" (Dire Straits), or "Midnight Blues" (Snowy White), or "Happiness Is Easy" (Mark Hollis / Talk Talk) might sound like via what is to me an incredible work of art, a showcase of just what we can actually achieve through 'imagineering', and with such beautiful form too (although I think my grandfather would have seen a 'space-ship' as opposed to an esoteric, high-end music delivery system! 😄) If I had $1m to spend on a system like that, then maybe I would simply because I could, and I love music. I'm happy for the guy that has, but I'm even happier for myself now knowing that I'm not really missing-out on something that isn't realistically attainable to me, and there is tremendous value in knowing that alone. I would also hate to think that I would start listening critically to the equipment instead of enjoying the music, which I'm afraid is where I'm sure it would all end up for me, and that would be such a loss. No, I am now at peace with my system - thank you (although I'm sure that B&W ASW610 sub-woofer wouldn't go amiss...), so again, thank you for a great presentation, it has been both enlightening, and a pleasure to view! 🙂👍🙏

Literally no one asked

Oh my when Ocean started playing as I love this track on my setup and it makes my ears melt every time when the chords kick in

It's only worth it if you can hear the difference. Nice of the owner to share his personal space. And thank you for tackling such a rare Air topic.

Love your work. Thank you very much.

Haters gonna hate. Bless the owner, on his success, impeccable taste, and its manifestation, all in the form of High End Audiophile Bliss. Bless the minds who engineered these audio marvel. Bless the artists whose music we just enjoyed. Bless you Jana for sharing the experience. And bless most of you for sharing positive comments rather than spreading the mediocre hate.

Not hating on his system just being honest about it. Must be the worst recording in history. Calm down, hater.

I really enjoyed the many measured distances that were provided. That was wonderful. I, too, applaud the investment. Some people buy jet planes, some buy massive yachts, some buy multiple sports cars, and the list goes on. This fellow opted to buy a superb music system. I imagine the listening experience in that space is breathtaking. Congratulations on an amazing investment decision. Enjoy! I will add that I was surprised to not see any soft surfaces on the walls and the globe as the only round surface in the entire room. The wall treatments are all flat surfaces. I have no doubt that their random spacing successfully shatters sound waves that fall into the deeper cavities, however I would think that a lot of sound waves directly ricochet off the front, flat panels and potentially arrive to the optimal seating position faster than, perhaps, desired. Of course, I am most likely wrong, but you typically see more soft bass traps and more use of round deflectors that tend to disperse sound waves in many more directions. That said, it is a wonderful system. Thank you for the share!

You are awesome Jana. PLEASE get back to posting videos on your YT channel!

She haven’t uploaded content in a long time. Hope she’s OK.

Does it really sound all that good though? 13:00 not really from what I hear. Build quality and fit and finish is a whole different thing though.

It's not just the system playing so smooth and well.. it's how it's setup together with top of the line sound walls. it takes more for a system too sound so awesome..

Thanks, your videos are always beautifully produced. Wonder if the owner is like most people unable to resist going into upgrading after a while.
