When he said "let's listen to this hi-fi system" he meant it literally...

[raot]

I was born in 2003 which was just when everyone started moving away from things like VHS. I never got to grow up with a hi-fi system like this but I wish I could've. Nowadays I find these systems so fascinating and it is something I would love to have in my home even today. I collect records, cassettes, microcassettes, minidisc, and I plan to collect so many more forgotten music formats as well as their players. Gen Z definitely didn't get to grow up with *everything* that's forgotten these days but there are a few of us who love it as much as when it was actually popular. This system is amazing and I would love a set.

Don't press the CD tray hehe, anyway I'm a collector of HiFi but I don't have anything as cool as some of these systems that you have!

I recently discovered your content and I love it!

Keep it up 🙂

[theshadowman]

Have a similar Denon component system with one of their last cassette decks and a receiver with digital in for proper CD transport connection. I would not have it any other way.

You're supposed to store vinyl records vertically. Stacking them horizontally on top of one another will warp them over time.

“Tulip” connectors makes so much sense. and is so Dutch. Here in Canada we call them “RCA” connectors, which is the American name for them, which is a very Canadian naming strategy.

The space and time buttons are brilliant!

You were an instant sub for me. Content creators should be paid extra when viewers watch every second of your videos.
You've created a presence that I like to spend time with. You're like a quirky old friend and I hope you keep it up

[rakemistry]

Criminally underrated channel. Another great video 👏

[JinGitaxias]

I love the "Let's listen to this system" part. It's like an alien who's heard you're supposed to "listen" to these things, but only listens to the sound of the buttons and the mechanical noises that come from them. It doesn't matter, though, because those sounds are pleasant as well.

[ScarlettStunningSpace]

Even as a Gen Z, I still remember these kinds of component systems in the early 2000's. I always thought machines like this were the coolest, especially multi disc DVD players which were more common at the time. I never got to experience Hi-Fi systems like this, but I'm happy I could spend my earliest years with VHS

[hahaahah]

The amplifier doesn’t actually run at class A when you press “pure A” it is still class AB but it biases the transistors nearer to A than B

[miisuo]

Legends say that if you pressed and held the space and time buttons simultaneously you would rip open the fabric of the universe in the area surrounding the devices. This feature was later removed after budget limitations.

Great channel. Just found it after YouTube gave me the segment display video.

I would say the problems with the trays on that hi-fi van be fixed with some cleaning.

[Heist]

Had a Kendwood UD-952 in college. This video made me think about something that brought me years of pleasure during the era but has lived in indignity in an attic for decades. Now I’m inspired to recondition it and bring it back to working form.

[JohnEdgmon]

that system produces such beautiful sound, truly Hi-Fi

[Megadriver]

You make awesome videos man! Wish my audio had a space and time button...

I love audio setups like this. I'm a millennial and I'm working on making my perfect audio deck. I have a good Yamaha amplifier with retro styling and a seperate disc/ DVD player. But I also need an FM-receiver, cassette deck and an equalizer deck with VU-meters. But I also don't wanna go overboard with the audio stuff, cause it gets very expensive, very fast. Yamaha amp and speakers alone cost over 2 grand...

I adore this retro-futuristic look, the display colors and the cheesy marketing nonsense like "auto laser playback", or other something similar. I love having tons of buttons and several VFD matrix displays that show pretty much the same thing, but in a gorgeous 90s way.

[o.a]

it's so weird that the algorithm had just picked up on your channel. this is so beautifully shot and put together, like the rest of your videos.

[azarathe]

I know I'm 10 months late but can we talk about the framing in this video? The shot were he placed the JBL speaker on the "cabinet" and then the rest of the equipment was sensational. Great stuff

[michaelturner]

That "cabinet", in the UK we usually called that a radiogram, or a console stereo.

Good to see that Kenwood is still all working perfectly though.
