Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down

I checked out Jay’s website to see if any of his gears being sold off before his move and there’s only like one speaker and a few pieces of very high priced gear but not much else. I thought he would sell the tad speakers but no. 

Maybe they’ll be a sale before he moves.  Maybe He’s going into a partnership with an audio dealer.  His famous name will mean a lot to that dealer. 

I also think Jay is a good honest guy, much more so than those reviewers in the magazines. Jay will tell you a room he didn’t like at an audio show where up until a year ago, you would never hear a magazine reviewer state an expensive gear room sounded bad. I personally think that Jay’s comments about bad sounding rooms at axpona made a magazine review of axpona have a section on bad sounding rooms. 
I don’t think 6 digits is too much to spend on a piece of equipment nor do I think 6 digits is too expensive for a car. A decent Porsche is $150k on up, it’s the price you pay for quality. But, after covid, I went to the Tampa audio show and a company was asking a fortune for a 2 way speaker that my small revels in my 3rd room would crush for 1/8 the price. I haven’t seen that company for a while so maybe they aren’t around anymore.

There’s no way he’s making that amount of money from his YouTube channel.  My only guess is that he his wife is VERY understanding and probably has a good job.

When I saw this video I thought he was ending his videos.  And now I see he’s got more videos coming out. I thought he said jay Audiolab was coming to an end.

He’s a marketing person and he’s just moving to another room.. It’s like taking your family on vacation, it’s just a change of scenery that’s all, it’s not a vacation.

So I watched another of his videos just coming out today and it’s all about preaching about what you need to do to create a better sounding room. 

You need to spend a lot of money on every single facet of your Soundsystem.  he said it all makes a difference.

Jay is a marketing genius. I’m not sure how much he really knows about the equipment he is talking about but he does keep things interesting.

@emergingsoul - he's right about the better sounding room; that can have more of an impact on your sound than any piece of gear besides maybe the speakers.
