0:34The WiiM Amp Ultra combines streaming, Class-D amplification and RoomFit EQ in one component.
3:01Ron selects ELAC Debut 3.0 DB63 bookshelf speakers, describing their sound as neutral.
4:50Monolith stands provide the speakers' mounting solution.
5:51His placement method divides room length into thirds and sets speakers a quarter-width from the side walls.
8:02Recorded music samples demonstrate the recommended system.
9:13Ron assesses the setup's clarity and value, rather than presenting it as an ultimate stereo.

Before reaching for more equipment, Ron Brenay reaches for the room's dimensions. In "How To Cheap Audiophile in 2026", his setup lesson divides the room length into thirds and places the speakers a quarter of the room's width from the side walls. The gear matters, but so does where it sits.

New Record Day posted nothing new this week. That older guide remains its busiest upload right now, drawing roughly 2,000 views a day, comfortably more than the other highlighted archive videos. Its appeal is straightforward: streaming, amplification, speakers and positioning come together in a system Ron describes as open and clean. "Priority numero uno is making sure that listening to music is easy," he says.

The wider archive offers a different version of that simplicity. "KEF, Hold My Beer — Buchardt Has Entered the Chat!" compares two active speaker systems through measurements and listening sessions in the Sound Shed. Meanwhile, "Is This The End Of Hi-Fi... Or Its Future?" asks whether an integrated speaker system can replace a rack of separate components.

The channel added about 60,000 views over the week, while its subscriber count stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is a little below its usual pace. For readers catching up, the budget guide includes a recorded listening demonstration after the placement lesson, letting Ron move from room diagrams to music.
