Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh

I like him he's got a lot of positive Energy. And he keeps flashing all this wonderful gear what could there be not to love here.

I think he's bringing life to the whole industry so this can't be a bad thing, it needs to be revitalized.  I think in time he will be more critical about all the high prices and the absurdity of sky high valuations for gear that's probably very similar to gear for a lot less.

And he's got an amazing pick up truck I've never seen anything that big.

Jay had a great show today. He was at a beautiful home with an amazing backyard. It was with a customer who purchased nearly a quarter million dollars worth of gear. Pretty amazing.

Not sure why the acoustics weren’t better in that room, it was an echo chamber and so many windows behind the speakers. But the overall room had no furniture and was just a wide open space.

All the gear was set up and yet they didn't Play the system.  This made no sense to me.  Basically it seemed like an infomercial because he was marketing services.

Plus I'm waiting to see how he likes the mcIntosh 901 and maybe he'll give us a sneak peek of the speakers that he's hiding   .

He’s got an addictive channel what can I tell you. Doesn’t mean I have to agree with everything. He’s really into what he’s doing and I respect that.

I think his videos are on the long side and yes I still wish they had more descriptive info about the gear he’s representing. But I have a feeling a lot of people don’t really care about that sort of thing and will get easily bored.

I think he began to see the light about Rockport speakers which I don't think are doing very well.  So much confusion about speakers I don't know what the heck to believe. I remember my epicure speakers from 40 years ago with strange looking dome tweeters and they were awesome.

Hardly, I just spend all my time watching audio related videos on YouTube. There are so many audio things on YouTube it's remarkable. All the time everyone spending for views that only yield pennies a month . I'm not sure how much marketing support they're getting and that can't be very much so it's a big mystery to me why they keep doing them and they take a lot of time.  You have audio file junkie who does the best videos for all the shows and so many. It's kind of remarkable. And this guy is not selling/ marketing gear in a manner that yields a lot. So he's a dedicated soul and likes what he's doing. I could never do a video like these guys. There are so many people in this website who are so smart and technically familiar with audio stuff and many of them should be doing a YouTube video.

I love the radical spirit. Stick it to the man. I think the spirit of audio shows needs adjustment.  The last audio show in Texas brought together hundreds of individualized components that were all assembled in individual rooms where elderly men were shepherded in and out of these rooms, why they don't allow women to these events is beyond me, it's just remarkable.

How does anybody discern anything of sonic quality with these horribly set up rooms with all the mismatched components.

My gosh leave the beds in the room so people can relax while they listen to the music. 

Some thoughts about the sonic experience within a hotel room at a show. Each luxurious room offers a variety of components where each one has their own impact on sound and and then enter all the people coming into the room, mostly older gents whose hearing isn’t as good as it used to be, and who are not familiar with these components. how is one to discern the qualities of any of the components on display???

Is it the speakers, is it the amplifier, is it the $40,000 cables, is it the power conditioner, is it the pretty line stage pre-amplifier, is it the glorified Computer masquerading as a server, is it the streamer, turntable, and of course we have the dac. Who is most responsible for all the lovely noise? Probably mostly the speakers and the amplifier. And let’s of course not forget the quality of the recorded music which really can impact the sound. Thank you Diana Krall for all your incredibly well recorded and mixed music, it sounds remarkably good anywhere.

I love your system it's really cool. The main speaker tweeters are cool.

I was thinking about modwright preamplifier but they didn't have the Remote set up to to control the power and stuff it's kind of weird. 

Thanks for all your nice comments

Would you spend $250,000 for equipment in a room that just may not work out because of the way it's designed??  That room is gonna be an acoustical challenge it may never work out. 

Seems to me he should've bought much cheaper equipment and then worked his way up. Apparently people have tons of money and they can make these types of decisions but that's pretty risky in my opinion.  

It would be great if that room would work out because it's amazing how nice it looks.
