The record player isn’t in the picture. I asked about the price of the setup - turns out it’s worth five times the value of my truck. The vacuum tubes there are from the 1940s.

I love my job - I get to meet so many interesting people. Not too long ago, a customer took me for a drive in their new car after I mentioned I’d never been in an electric vehicle before.

    Must sound really shitty tbh, small untreated empty room resonating on certain wavelengths, ancient tube technology that induces all kinds of non-linearities, speakers that (I may be wrong but) judging from their looks don’t like like they can generate any decent bass at a decent SPL, no DSP, and you mentioned a record player?

    And I’m not even going go try to guess that that huge thing on the left is, I’m guessing a “power conditioner”.

    I mean I get that the guy likes glowing tubes and cool retro spinning records, I would probably get something like that too if I was rich just for keks. The same way I would get a rotary phone and a film camera. But he could have gotten much much better sound for much much less money if he had gotten a modern system and some room treatment.
