[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Phloored]

Very nice shop. I don't believe I've ever experienced anything like this style of business. Come and comfortable listen to some music on some really nice gear! What's not to like! Speaking of like, those amber's in midnight are right up my alley. Awesome shop, great video 👍

[@sidvicious3129]

I love that intro Mikey. This is a great interview and keep up the good work. Keep moving forward being who you are, we appreciate you!!!

[@dragocelander6671]

Great video recap of a beautiful hi-end audio shop. I love the name “Audio Temple.” Can’t help but notice its similarity to part of Cor’s last name, “Empel.” Empel’s Tempel.

[@Phanex]

I know right, there is no connection there I asked him XD

[@harrylewis7536]

[@PickanPop]

Killer setup!!!

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

4 sure !

[@sdavidfreud]

Mikey - Deacon Blues - This is one of the all time great recordings - Engineered by Roger Nichols - Steely Dan at their finest. Pete Christlieb from the Tonight Show Band on tenor sax. These are very serious musicians. I always liked the Van Schwikert Speakers made in California. Swiss Goldenberger Turntable ---new to me. Playing UHQR mastered by Bernie Grundman...the best.

[@Charles12509]

That’s a huge store..you are having a great trip…usually for me time runs out fast when traveling…

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

It does.. that's why we spent 6 weeks this time. ;-) 😉

[@frankmeertens5664]

Hi Mike, And do you like it in the Netherlands? I come from Barendrecht near Rotterdam. Have a wonderful holiday here in the Netherlands... We will continue to follow you, love the videos you make!! You are doing well sir!! 🤘🏻

[@MsCorbacho]

Lived 23 years in the Netherlands , never been there …….shame ! Have meet some nasty dealers in The Netherlands , don’t mind about names and actions , you would not believe some of them , But also ( as everything in life) , very good ones , One of them does not exist anymore , ( was his own choice after a couple of years in the business) . Wish I had visited Audio Tempel .

[@MsCorbacho]

Well , I feel better now as I also think that the service in a lot of audio shops in The Netherlands was poor , Poor return policies , Arrogant sellers who make a ……. (i am bored ) face when you ask to hear more than 2 pair of speakers , or more than one amp, Even had a store that sold me a defective demo amp knowing that ( as I discovered later) , And another store that sold me a pair of harbeth p3esr 40th anniversary , that were from the owner of the store used previously as second speakers at his house , I bought them , taked them home , and only a few weeks later saw that one of the corners had been damaged and fixed , which for me it had been no problem had he said it , ( was well reparated , and hard to notice) , and had the price been lower , ….but no, …no disclosure at all , never heard from that seller again ! Another store they put me in a room , touch play , and the seller simply goes away , did not come back for more than an hour , so……I just got up and went home , Hard to believe but All truth . It’s frustrating . I am not surprised that people buy more and more second hand or online , Ironic enough i am one of that guys that still after all , maintains positivity and believe that a GOOD dealer is the place to buy , where you can get advice , compare , and so on, Unfortunately , almost never had a good service , just the opposite ,. Lousy service almost everywhere , Apart from that one Guy where I lived , top guy , top service , humble truthful person that really tried to help the costumer , I became his friend and client ! But in general …….uuuuffffff ,. Hifi Client nowadays is not a good place to be , And no,…I am not a difficult person, and I am fairly social and easy going .

[@fabien7079]

My dream have listening room like this, high ceilings and huge footprint... Let the speakers shine! Looks like a very good store to buy a great music system...

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

For sure. Go visit him !!

[@henryradtka5480]

Beautiful shop Cor, seen lots of post from you on VSA and Audio Circle 👍

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Yes, great shop !!

[@snomofilms]

Can’t wait for Mikey’s true unbiased review of the Maria and C Wave

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

So far it's pretty solid, man. I've needed time to let it soak in and understand what's happening. I'll know more later on !

[@dutchpublisher1178]

Hi Mikey, still in The Netherlands? If you like to visit me tomorrow, listen to my electrostats and eating a rich fish salat, maybe visiting a concert in the evening. It's close to Arnhem.

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Would love to next time for sure ! I have to fly home in the AM. I am at Schipol now !

[@artyfhartie2269]

Beautiful haunt. I wonder what happened to the Celestion loudspeakers. They were highly regarded once. More than KEF

[@AudioheavenDenmark]

You should visit stassen hifi also. It's more or less a castle 😂

[@MsCorbacho]

I do not think he should …..Won’t say more, let’s leave it at that !

[@j.m.harris4202]

Howda/Gouda cheese! Is the Best Mikey! ✌️

[@ridecycling]

Rockin’ the Springsteen and Bob Dylan!

[@MrBonger88]

Great video Mikey. Since you’ve been doing the rounds across Europe what brands have really surprised you ?

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Thanks ! Fischer&Fischer speakers, NAT Audio tube Amps, Audio Analogue SS amps, and Daniel Hertz.. ;-)

[@KT88gs]

AJA sooooooo nice!

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

For real !!

[@vinoheart]

stereo heaven

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Absolutely

[@Ivy13276]

As a long time owner of the Maria, I agree with the gentlemen, but I preferred my old speakers to the Ambers.

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Do you know about the new tuning for the Amber's??? This is the great thing about DH. The speaker response is tuneable. Don't like it ? Change it !!

[@Ivy13276]

​@@OCDHIFiGuyDaniel Hertz suggested I try different tunings, but I'm really happy with it on "flat" setting

[@AudioheavenDenmark]

Let me know if you want to visit stassen hifi. I will make sure they take special good care of you. It's my dear friend's

[@OCDHIFiGuy]

Next year !

[@Ivy13276]

Pardon my ignorance, what's the song at the end?

[@chadcooper7982]

Goose Slow ready.
