Michael Fremer's system

@mr. m.  It's called "put your money where your mouth is."  I see nothing wrong with what he said so I respectfully disagree with you. Fremer is very fortunate to have a system of that caliber.  

"why does he explain how he acquired this stuff??? "

Because he was explaining that he has that equipment because he likes it enough to pay for it, even if he has to get a loan to buy it, that he does not have it because the manufacturers gave it to him. Believe it or not, there are people who believe that high-end audio is a huge scam, a conspiracy in which audio reviewers conspire with greedy manufacturers to fleece unsuspecting audiophiles out of their hard earned money.

To begin with, he made that video and wanted us to see it, maybe wanted us to discuss it too, so we are discussing it.
But where is Michael himself? Michael, why not all Ypsilon ? And what did you do to your Studer ? $30k for Tara speaker cables ? They can go f...ar away from me.

*G*  Y'know, at the end of the day, it just makes me feel OK that my 'listening space' ISN'T PERFECT....nor will be anytime soon. *S*

Yup, Nice equipment.  Considering the 'owner', I'd be shocked if it wasn't.
I'll give Mike 'major marks' for posting the vid...it's a real 'enlightenment' to see that 'his space maybe wasn't what you'd expected'....;)

"To each, his own." *S* Own yours...;)

Great videos I’m glad the Sterophile crew is creating these. Jason Victor made a great comment at the end of his about the amount of joy he gets out of his system and he hopes others are also able to find this. Great comment.

Just one recommendation for Mike F, get a leak sensor under that water heater!
