These were never pressed for audiophiles but for teenagers to be played on their 'crappy' portable turntables. I'm 70 now and they sound just like I remembered. Incredible. I have other pressings of the songs on different LPs with different mixes and those are for audiophiles. Thanks for the video, Steve. Subscribed.

Steve, I agree with your all of your recommended 10 rules. I was especially enlightened with a new understanding of why listeners may prefer to use headphones. Makes sense now.

Thanks Steve, Interesting how the disappearance of audio shops has created a real void in the quest to audition equipment. What you are left with is on line reviews and perhaps a KZread demo.

Love these thoughts as always. From what I can see here you have followed rules 7 and 8 to perfections.

This is all fantastic advice! At 54 I have been around enough audio (nothing like your experience Steve), to know that it's supper easy to get wound around the axle over things that just don't matter and end up costing way to much when you could have spent the money on things that do make a difference. Trust your ears and play with what you have and maximize it BEFORE deciding to make big changes. It's very easy to make expensive mistakes so don't get wound before you play😀.

I really enjoy your videos. This one is helpful in understanding all the basic functions to enjoy audio. Thank you very much.

wow!! you brought it to the point in 10 simple rules! Love it!!

SG, I only recently discovered your channel. My journey into and through audio began fifty years ago. Your treatises are quite parallel to things I learned way back when. As I review your observations I realize that nothing has changed in the pursuit of the "perfect" system. It ain't happ'nin'! Keep up your great work!

Love you Steve, you put so much happiness and good mood to these days.

Steve, The best video yet, from you, as I, 100 % concur. Number 10, is, without a doubt, number 1. I believe, one thing that was left out, though, was, for people to listen to as much stuff as possible, as listeners, generally, do not have a clue as to what they like. Yes, audiophiles are driven by test reports and recommendations, by reviewers, and as you mentioned, people, do not trust their ears. The bigger issue is, most people do not have a basis, as to start with. Most folks I have helped design systems, are clueless, and this, is fundamentally an issue. The other parts of what you said in this video, are, really significant. We, the listeners, are at the mercy of the recordings, and, whatever system we put together, will never sound like the real thing ( live, and unamplified ). Thank you for this video, and, your channel. You are one of the good guys. You old friend, Danno

I was skeptical about rule #1 as my system is down the end of a long narrow room with basically no options to resite speakers (200 year old cottage) So it thought 'that is what it is, just put up with it'. BUT after watching this and one from John Darko, I sat in my listening chair, moved it about a little and tweaked the position of my speakers. It was not by a lot, just a few inches and a few degrees. The result, a much improved listener experience. Thank you.

This is absolutely the best top 10 rules for audio enthusiasts!

My room is not only a cube but a small cube it's a pain getting balanced sound. As if that's not bad enough the speakers are off to one side and the listening position is to far back. Joys of life

A beautiful distillation of years of experience into a top 10 of what really matters and how to achieve it ....sanely! I do vote for number 10 moving to number 1 tough and all the rest slide down a notch, if you’ve forgotten it’s all about musical enjoyment, nothing else will help. Stay our voice of reason Steve. 👍🏻

Yes! Great advice! And "Size Consideration" is n-o-t as absolute. It *depends* on the volume/shape/contents/composition of one's listening room. Thanks, Steve for this special "Nota Bene" episode.

Philip Nicolle Thanks Philip

Might be the most helpful video of yours I've seen. Rule #1 got me thinking. I've known this for a while, but never realized how impactful the smallest change could make. I started "futzing" around with my Zu DWs and after several changes, all making minor differences, I made one last change to the width between the speakers and a small adjustment to the toe-in and "WOW!" All of a sudden the sound is coming from behind the speakers (like Paul McGowan always talks about) and the sound stage is fatter and more evenly distributed. I wouldn't have believed that such a minor tweak could yield such considerable improvements. Thanks Steve. 👍

Frank Black I also have Zu DWs. How did you finally place them? Distance from each other, wall, and toe in? I currently have mine right up against the wall about 6 feet apart with a bit of toe in. I sit about 7 or 8 feet away.

Great Advice Steve..... You hit it out of the park!!! 👍👍

My first rule for any Audiophiles is don't be afraid to use the art of the deal to get a lower price or a free add-on, most often, the cost of a speaker system is 50% (and more on accessories)of the retail price and sometimes lower if they are selling an end of line. If you can get a good set of speaker wires or a good turntable cartridge for free, why not, free is good. My second rule is large chain stores and some small ones give "spiff" (money, products or points for a sale ) to their employees on certain products and many will try to railroad you to buy that special article because it pays them more than the other besides it. Thrust your ears, not his! Your 10 rules also applies. There is no substitute for cubic inches, it is a "Mechanic's Rule" that also applies to many things. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all of the advice. I wanted to experiment in a way that I never thought would help. I am glad I did. I have four subs. The best two are up front and the older/smaller ones are in the rear. I switched them and put the better ones in the back and smaller ones up front. WOW! My bass is as even as you can get now. I don't have any "boom" areas nor any "nulls" as well. My system doesn't look as strong now but who cares. The sound improvement, especially for music, is all that counts. You are the man!

Great rules Steve!!! Especially #10.

About the audio never sounding like live, to me I think as the quality improves it's a lot like a good movie where you get the suspension of disbelief. You know it's not live, but it's close enough to let you get lost in the moment and forget about the hardware and just hear the music. That rarely happens when you're critiquing a system because you're so consciously focused, your awareness isn't going to be fooled.

Agreed, you are my favourite reviewer, I think you really got it, you really understand it on all levels, good video!

This is my 17th year now selling Hi-fi, almost 30 years loving audio. Rule #1 for sure is to enjoy it, it's supposed to be fun. #2 Should be, don't make yourself the stereo police and try and tell everyone else they're doing it wrong. This includes the cable trolls and measurements-only fools. This should be #2 because it directly impacts #1 sucking the fun out of the hobby. It's also weird because it seems that the least experienced people, tend to be the most vocal about giving advice. I had a troll on my channel telling me everything I do is wrong, and when I looked him up I found out he was coming up on his first year at Best Buy, and he owned the smallest pair of Def Tech tower speakers they make and lived in his mom's basement...yet he was preaching to me. He then threatened me, so I banned him from my channel so that's neither here nor there, lol. He was a HUGE anti-cable Nazi. #3 should be, don't hate on people with more expensive systems than you. I like Porsche, but I don't go on Porsche forums and berate people for spending too much on a Porsche 918 when he could have got so much more value in a Cayman for much less money, because it would be a worthless pursuit, and in poor taste. There's a lot of jealousy in this hobby because of the expense of some of the gear. If you love it, and you sacrifice other things in life so you can have the money to spend on audio gear, then who should tell you that you can't or shouldn't. The anti-cable trolls are the biggest with this, always touting how you wasted your money. A nice system can be had at any price point, but you shouldn't try to knock down anyone with a better system than you just because you can't afford it. Enjoy yours. #4 should be listen with your ears. (In a world where people buy with their eyes) The measurement only people likely never take any measurements at all, that's the irony. They aren't scientists about it, they just trust that someone else took the measurements, and that's good enough for them, so they rely on spec sheets. Where's the spec for sound-staging, I always ask, or sound-stage depth, height etc? What spec is off axis dispersion or holographic imaging, sweet spot width? What about dynamics, impact, and scale? Is that a number on a spec sheet I've just been missing? There aren't specs for most of the stuff that matters, so it's useless to compare based on specs. Not to mention, different manufacturers measure with different standards, so you can't compare them between brands anyway. With those 4 rules, we can all enjoy this hobby, and anything that gets in the way of #1 shouldn't be in this hobby. Cheers!

Exceptional advice Steve!

I have purchased at least 25 sets of speakers and I keep going back to my $8 Klipsch Kg1 set. They just make me happy

#1 Listen to music with all your senses, not with work, making love or what ever. 😎

Number 10 is spot on, you really get it Steve 👊🏻

I think rule number 10 should be number 1.

This is particularly true with the Bose 901. Placement is everything.

From my own experience with getting the best sound from my audio gear over the years, I have always suited the speaker and amp system to the room environment I listened in. So from a garden shed, to a small upstairs spare room and then to the living room, each and every one of these locations had a different audio system to suit the very different sound environment. I have to say that my present audio system, is ultimately the best I have ever used, the end result of many years of listening experience. Naturally a lot of my fun and enjoyment with audio, has come from just experimenting with different sub woofers and different speaker layouts to get the best sound, it's not a perfect system by any means but it sounds pretty good. Dare I say it, but a graphic equalizer works wonders in a dead acoustic room environment.

One day , some years past , I found myself listening to the quality of the playback and not the song. It gave me this terrible feeling. Im now in recovery from audiophilia . I have all the pieces I will ever need. If it sounds pretty good its ok. It fine. Focus on the music is my no.1 rule now. You all will love this. My speakers are a set of AR2a cabs with the drivers out of a set of Large Advent A3s and a moderately priced set of ribbon tweeters. They look like hell but sound fine. I couldnt recall all the sets of speakers Ive owned and these are the ones I love. Love your channel Steve

Starting with Rule 10 and working backwards is a great way to identify one's audiophile issues!!! Then, and only then, can one begin to resolve them. Bon Voyage!!!

This was very informative, thanks for this.

Having fun is the thing. You can buy a house depending on the money you spend on a setup, but if you're willing to do so, you're not enjoying it anymore. Even if you can afford it.

Short sweet and to the point. Excellent advice and I have used all of it. I'm also a huge headphone guy. Don't ever get mad because you feel something is too expensive and because you can't afford it you call it snake oil (somethings are and some not). Also always remember what is new equipment today will be old equipment tomorrow, which can fit inside different budgetary concerns.
