There's a similar room tour video shot years ago that's gotten 848,000 views. That sounds encouraging and most comments are positive but I think some people viewed it for the same reason they watch plane crash videos.
Some of the comments express a variety of emotions including outrage at the cost of the equipment that they think might be better spent feeding the poor, or claiming that none of this makes a sonic difference (especially cables, which make a big difference) and some expressing various anti-semitic tropes and the like, or the usual "snake oil" comments, etc.
So enjoy (or not)!

My father was had an overtly large record collection. While he was still alive, I asked him what was going to happen to all his collection when he died. He got a twinkle in his eye and told me he wanted all of his colored vinyl and picture discs to be melted into a big coffin for himself. He was smiling almost laughing by then. He then told me he wanted Mauler's unfinished symphony to be played at his funeral. I wasn't able to accomplish that either. I got his guitars and my sister ended up with his records with the intent to sell them. I will own his guitars until my last breath out of respect. Oh he also told me if he sat down and tried to listen non-stop to all of his records he couldn't do it. He would probably die first. He still kept buying records anyway. I now have a large collection myself and am "trying" to slow down my spending on them. More trying to listen and enjoy what I have. I've started fixing cassette decks/turntables for a hobby also as a hack. Life is good.

For most of my 82 years I have been involved in audio and being from New Orleans where music is a 24/7 endeavor, I know what live music sounds and as you know it is the rare recording that can deliver the nuance of tone,rhythm and pace and you have helped my collection.

Hope to see you at this year's High End Show in Munich, Germany diligently filming all the new and exciting analogue products for those who are not able to attend.

Michael, what a great and inspiring video! What impressed me most was listening to your recording with your in-ear-microphones - I rarely had anything on my little monitors sound so great before! You'll be surprized when I tell you that my system is just a regular Windows PC, internal audio engine bypassed by the SW VoiceMeeter, cheap USB-cable to an even cheaper years-old Alesis USB-Mixer, and from there into a cheap set of Yamaha near field monitor speakers - and it blew me off my seat. So, there must be something happening in your setup that creates that great sound - probably the vinyl and your great room setup.

We went one step further in our 1956 ranch (downsizing for retirement). We also had an overhead line but buried it. So we have new copper wire from the pole into the house into a new AC panel. From there new wiring out to the dedicated listening room my lovely wife agreed to. The original recording quality and the power you provide to your system is where it all starts.

Just trying to setup a crazy wireless and home network system also to last me a while. Been installing the usbs housewide :)
