About my reference setups, March 2024

Set ups must also meet the aesthetics committee requirements !!! Always enjoy listening and learning. Thank you

Hello Hans, Have you ever considered a video of a roomtour video about your reference setups in there "natural habitats".

Thanks for your weekly video. I look forward to watching them on the weekend. Great to see your system, just like many viewers, has evolved over time. Our musical journey continues as equipment evolves and hopefully our budgets grow over time.

Thanks for sharing your setups!!!!!! Its evident the profound love you have about this work!!! This video shows profissionalism and humility of sharing!!! With NO FEAR!

I really enjoy your videos but wonder why you never show a photo of your systems?

Three very nice setups with some additional variants - remarkable! Thank you very much for being transparent and providing us with all of this information. I think many people could be very happy with your basic setup three.

Glad to see you post new content Hans! Good day

Impressive. I am happy for a fellow audiophile 👍

Happy Easter, Mr. Beekhuyzen!

nice to see you Hans.....happy easter

14:57 Very clear diagram and how you differential the setups. Core are the speakers (+sub) and amp. The A/B/C factors are source + dac variations.

Thank you Hans for another video. I got the idea that your Magna Mano Ultra MKIII Farad had the SR Purple fuse and the L2 DC Silver cable, which increases the price of the Mana Mano to €1,946.

Your reviews are great. I tried using ifi elite power for both network router and modem. The better power on my modem gave the greatest improvement to sound

Thank you Hans for the videos and even challenges to improve the knowledge and understanding of our common interest. im going to ask if along with your very helpful connection setup flow charts if you could please provide photos of those units/connections. thx again.

Thanks!

Thank you Hans for comprihansive and professional presentation of your testing audio system setups. Now, I have finally realized how you actually grade the audio equipment without absolute rates.😊 And, I would like to see in your review how Holo Audio Red streamer compares to Magna Mano MK3 and/or Eversolo DMP A6 if possible?...

Danke!

I was at the Montreal Audio Fest last weekend and I heard, among other components, an EverSolo streamer paired with a Lumin DAC and Accuphase amp. I don't recall the make and model of the speakers but the result was heavenly. I'm quite happy with my CHORD Mojo and Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition. But I sometimes wonder whether the higher end DACs from PS Audio, CHORD or Lumin are worth the money.

That was another very fun and insightful video 👍. It's nice to see how a music lover's audio set changes and improves over the years. We will of course do the same here as long as finances allow it. What strikes me is that - and now I don't know what the truth is - my taste in music also changes due to: 1- The resolution of the set invites me to play different music. 2 - I'm getting older.. Previously, for example, Dobrinka Tabakova - String Paths ( ecm) was boring and uninviting to listen to. With the new digital set this is a completely different story and I played this album digitally to pieces (Qobuz). I notice that your Set 1 in audiophile standard remains below €75,000 and (even though it is still a lot of money) I think it is great that you have achieved this. I occasionally think about other mono power amplifiers and I suspect that your thoughts are slowly turning to a new amplifier for set 1 too ! 😉

As always, enjoy your weekly videos. If possible, could at some point discuss how you designed your network focusing on the disadvantages of using only cat connections versus a comnination of cat and glass? Would you expect soind quality changes if you rock was connected via cat cables?
