A Tour of My Vinyl Collection and Listening Room | Talking About Records 

Finally some 90’s music collection! So refreshing. Majority of others collections are like music has stopped at 1989. Loving the channel. Great topics, keep them coming!!

Amazing !!!!!! Congrats for your huge collection and beautiful space !!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

That was so cool. Thank you for showing us your listening room. What a great place !

Just coming across your content and your passion for music is obvious in all of your videos. You spoke about your children and passing things on to them when that time comes. Unfortunately, that time came way too soon for me when my Dad passed two years ago but I inherited his equipment, collection and passion for music, and it made me so happy to see you trying to do the same. Listening to records is my greatest connection to him. Anyway, loving your content and keep up the amazing work!

That is very cool! Thanks to sharing your time showing your amazing collection

Wow great video! Really nice to see your setup and collection. So many records man!! Haha, it’s impressive. The area looks so welcoming and relaxing. Thanks for sharing

Wow! Beautiful collection! Well organized and I’d never leave that room 😎

Love looking at other peoples listening areas..great way to get new ideas....thanks GI

Thanks for sharing your space with us; very nice to see other peoples collections

Awesome, what a great vintage turntable. Thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful music room! You have some awesome box sets as well. I love what you do for pictures. That looks really cool. Take care.

You’re my hero! Awesome collection, accessible equipment, and sweet little listening room, with no snobbery whatsoever. Quite refreshing!

Thanks for the tour. Great setup. Very clean and organized.

I really like your videos, and your collection is very close to my personal taste as well. Every random album you pull I'm like 'oh' and 'ahhh.' Very nice setup, very organized, looks like a fun room to hang out in and listen to music. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent room!! Thank you for sharing 👏

Loved the dividers. It certainly works well for a vinyl collection

Very cool listening room. Love those shelves.

Greetings from Brazil. Thanks for the our! The collection is awesome. regards

Loved the setup and organizing tips. Icing on the cake would be a phono pre amp, beautiful room and selection

Love your Record collection Dude ! Great Stuff !

Very cool setup. My room is mostly geared toward vinyl too, but we'll play anything anyone wants to hear. I've got very few 8 tracks too, mostly just got a few albums I absolutely love.

Love the framed David Gilmour on your wall. One of my favorite albums.

Thanks for the video. I am also an audiophile with a Music Hall turntable and love the Ortofon. I have the Bronze which is the best I've ever had. I used to play those beloved 8 tracks in my car.

Very nice ! Just did my own updated record room tour ! Almost finished .. Iv'e been collecting for 50 years now, and I never got rid of very much at all ! Nice heavy vinyl racks, like the one I just boosted up. Alright.. I'm gonna watch now.. Cheers ! JT Jt's Record Room Vinyl Community.

Great room and great collection. I saw a few very desirable LPs in your collection. It is nice to see that is clearly a music lover room.

Awesome record collection 🤘

Love the circle of sound!

Pretty new to your channel but sure am enjoying it. I grew up in Seattle and graduated in 1992, so your taste is my taste brother!

Love that turntable! Great video, salute.

Great collection, nice place to hang and some good advice for overall collecting enjoyment. Thanks! O ya, great camera man! Always share your passions with your kids.

Great collection with some really nice audio equipment to play your media on, I wish I could have a dedicated listening room like you but here in the UK it’s mostly not possible unless your loaded as houses here are a lot smaller. But enjoy it all.

Cool! And good job Ben :)

Fantastic. Really like your shelves! I want to move beyond my Ikea ones. Also great idea on the black bckground!

Impressive collection and great camera work!

My dad had a 8-track machine in his truck that he used to have when he first got it. Before cd's came out, he mostly has cassette tapes. I also had cassette tapes til I went to CD's {Have 100+ of those} til I got into Vinyl. You have a nice setup and wall of records nice to see love of the 90's but still appreciating the other genre's of music.

I have the and older version of that Zenith with wheeled metal base, didn’t even know it came apart . Thanks for sharing.

Nice tour! Love that vintage Zenith turntable and speakers! I loved seeing that stuff growing up. Friends of the family had nice audio gear back in the late 60s and early 70s. I used to sit transfixed staring at the stuff whenever we were visiting and such. About 2010 I was finally able to get some vintage gear I remember. Most of it I have given up or sold, but I still have some pieces I kept. I have a Marantz 2238b receiver and a Sansui 8080db receiver, which is my prized piece. I also have a Pioneer PL510A, a PL530 and a Denon DP47f all still in service today! The Pioneer turntables of old are built like brick houses. So what if I can't stick a $9000 tonearm on them, I don't need to. I also don't have that kind of cash flow. I have a pretty fair collection myself, about 700 records (not nearly as big as yours, if it was I would need two apartments). I have my records sorted in similar fashion. Currently, I am wanting to build my jazz collection. I want at least a crate full. I only have about 6 or 7 jazz records right now. I also keep a database with info on my records and such just for fun. I never sell off records because I am very selective in what I pick up. I'm building a listening library as I am not a "collector". I also liked seeing all those box sets. I can't afford any of the MoFi stuff. I have box sets from the early days though and they are fun and sound very good as well. That Dylan Biograph set is a gem in regards to sound quality.

Very nice music room ! Great Collection ! Greetings from Vienna, AT

Zenith! Microtouch 2G! Love it.

Minor heart attacks till the time you mentioned PINK FLOYD... thank you for not killing me

Oh, love the Black Crowes and the Pearl Jam records!!

I gave a 👍 for having Faith No More in your vinyl collrction. Tbh you could fill a whole section of your wall with all of Mike Pattons side projects and collaborations. Great video..

Great looking space!

Awesome style, thanks for sharing.

G.I. - loving the collection and setup... New to the channel, but I'll be watching! Man - I loved your framed Ohana PJ Bus poster so much I had to buy one for myself. Only one I could find was $250 on eBay, but worth it. Can't wait to get mine framed up. Watching your channel is going to be expensive. I keep coming across more vinyl "I have to have"... ughh.

Thank you for sharing this. I have that same Zenith turntable and speakers in my garage on a box. It worked well and then I accidentally broke the stylus and now have no idea about where to go/how to get it fixed.

Tripping Daisy!! 🤘🏼

Amazing set up!

Stumbled upon this today and I have to say I like your record divider idea and I loved the old Zenith record player. Similar to stuff I lusted after in junior high back in the sixties. :) Try moving your speakers out into the room a bit more, the sound will open up, although I understand you may not be able to with family considerations. Speaking of family, your son did a fantastic job filming you!

K fine. I guess that will hold me over until I get invited over for a beer 😜 That was fantastic. Thanks!

Pearl Jam is so great ! Mike McCready is a guitar hero of mine.. when The 90's rolled around I was playing in a nice band, and it was such a musical renaissance.. reminded me of the great years of music in the late 60's through.. let's say.. 1974.

room tours are great. ur room is gtreat love ur collection a lover of music. thank u for sharing from australia love ur box sets srv wow we

Really cool video thanks dude enjoyed that a lot - great collection and cool system(s). Those box sets - wow I love all those artists. Strongly agree about having a sub, I recently added a subwoofer to my music setup - and outside of an RCM it might just be the best upgrade I’ve ever made - absolute game changer! I went for a REL T9x and it is phenomenally good with music using the high level input - the kick of the drums and rumble of the bass is just incredible. Loved to see the soundtrack collection that was my obsession for the longest time I have some very rare ones from the 80s/90s but don’t buy too many these days tbh. I’m not really a 7” collector I just have around 50 and they’re just chucked in a box, but I’d like to get them in a cool case like you have there.

Very cool setup. Makes sense. I do notice your chair is not facing the two speakers. I guess it makes it more casual listening. Thanks for sharing.

A great room and collection.

That room is sick! The money in vinyl alone is off the charts! That Smashing Pumpkins box IS NOT cheap!!!!

We need a whole video on the Zenith turntable & those speakers! 😮

Love those Polks RTI12 , they're beautiful

Thanks for the tour! Gives good context for your channel. And I gotta say, super cute to hear Ben tell you what you missed. Don’t know how hold he is, but he’s got some great cinematography skills!

Dig the room and those Zeppelin box sets. Man do I wish they would make a modern day stackable turntable. I’d be all over it. Enjoyed!

Very cool music room !

Loved this Video 👍 Pearl Jam box sets look 😎

Thanks for the tour. My question has to do with the volume your family will tolerate since it looks like the room is open to the living area downstairs. My pet peeve with speakers is "the veil" that must be lifted to hear detail and soundstage and that comes down to volume. I use high efficiency vintage Frazier horn driven speakers almost exclusively and even these have to get to a certain volume to open up, though at low levels they are mighty enjoyable too. Again, thanks for bringing all of us together in a place that is not judgmental and feels very safe.

Cool setup!

Thanks for Jumpin' Jack Flash... 😄😄😄

I usually tell people not to block the vents on amplifiers and or receivers. I'd put that cassette deck under that sweet Marantz stereo receiver. Nice set up. Appreciate the tour.

thanks for sharing !

That “On the Beach” 8-track is probably the only 8-track I’ve seen and thought “I want that!” Neil is the king

NIce Music Room and music collection.

Great content! Thanks for sharing. But with the quality of the turntable, do you think you deserve some equally good amplification and speakers?

Great video

Hello from Melbourne Australia. I have a collection of 650 lps, 200 7", 900 cds and about 20 box sets. Mostly 'eclectic' stuff but also have a generous collection of more classic rock, prog and jazz.

I'm a huge Crowes fan too. The only thing I'm missing currently is By Your Side. I keep crossing my fingers for a reissue some day.

Thank you for your informative and entertaining videos! It's fascinating to see the ratio of records to equipment different people have. If I may offer a suggestion... look out for a tube phono preamp.

Nice video. Been wondering with vinyl boxes as I'm not big fan of them - not very "easy" to use. Saw this one youtube video where this man from Germany had all the vinyls out from the boxes - kind of liked that idea. Might not work with you though as have "few" boxes but for some who have less it can be handy. I hate the idea to move boxes that have no cover - but if vinyls are out and in plastics sleeve then you "save boxes"

Beautiful room

Beautiful and well organized listening space. Great idea for dividers. And I notice you didn’t center your chair between your speakers.

How are you able to ever leave this room??!! Amazing collection!

Cool room 🙏

So you buy multiple copies because you have two kids to pass lps along too? Now THAT is best excuse I heard yet to explain to a spouse why you need to pay $50 for multiple pressing!!! "Its for the kids honey!" LOL LOL Just kidding LOL...Love the vid my friend. Room tours are always my absolute favorites to watch as I love seeing the music worlds people create for themselves. You and the family take care and keep it spinning!!

Very nice! Enjoyed watching! I didn’t see any CDs and was curious if you have any at all. I assume you DID have some CDs at some point.. Did you sell them at some point? Would be interested in hearing about what you collected and when and if/when you added or deleted any formats in your listening and collecting. Thanks!

If you upgrade to to black that turntable will blow you away it's amazing great room

Superb listening room and record collection. Thanks for sharing 😀 👍 ♥️ 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🎉 🎉🎉🔊🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👏👏💯

Please tell us about the record box with the custom GD steely inscribed with "North Texas Vinyl". SUPER SWEET !

Is that an acrylic mat on the turntable from your parents? Have you ever used cork? I'm thinking trying a cork mat for the new turntable I'm ordering.

Beautifully designed room ! - Kudos . --------- did I miss the 'classical music ' section ???

Thank you :-)

Very cool! I spotted those Zeppelin boxes sets the second the camera hit them! Great idea with the dupe copies of the Zeppelin records for your kids too. I have a couple questions, since I'm seeing this almost two years after it was filmed: 1) Do you still use that same TT? Curious how the dust issue has been since it doesn't have a cover. 2) Has your collection grown out of this room yet?? 😁 3) How do the acoustics sound in there? Looks like it might be a loft area?

Very nice vinyl collection, video and gear. I would highly suggest you look into gear setup/listening position/speakers position if you want to get the best sound out of your system. Cheers!

This video popped up on my recommended and I'm now hooked on your channel! That Gilmour signed record caught my eye 😍 would dream to have that. Is there a story behind it? Did you meet him? I have a few signed records that I'd love to get framed (two Coldplay signed by Guy ❤) but am afraid of them fading over the years. Is there anyway to prevent that? Would love to be able to frame them like you have yours!😋

Love the breathing guy🤣

Good tour and good collection for sure 🤘🏽. What are the legs you use for your kallax shelves to lift them up? Would you use them for a 5 x 5 or just the 2 x 2 or 2 x 4?

Jimmy Smith!!!

Man I'd like to get on that level some day

Nice video! What sleeves are you using for your records?

I have an idea. You should print NTX Vinyl on the cloth. That will look really cool on your pics.

Your listening chair is not facing the speakers for imaging and sound stage listening?

Nice room, nice collection... if you vanture into Jazz, as you said you plan to, you soon going to be running out of space, though 😁

If you really want those Polks to sing you need a separate amp that pushes at least 200wpc @8ohms 300@4ohms.(at least) I had the RTiA9's and they were way power hungry and had the same driver configuration as yours. I was attempting to run them with a Denon receiver before I knew better and they never got to their potential.

You need some Lee Morgan Lps.(Jazz-HardBop) ✌️. I love the Cooker lp have 2 copies.
