Today I showcase my reference system room for 2023 and also talk about why each piece is in this system. I hope you enjoy this HiFi room tour! These pieces will be in throughout the winter and into 2023 and all have synergy with each other to make gorgeous music.
Enjoy!

I think you have maybe solved the problem of the endless upgrade bug. Buy a bunch of components so that you can switch in/out and mix and match different components whenever you get bored.
What an absolutely beautiful system congrats 👏
Beautiful! Would love a separate room off the house like that.
Gorgeous looking room and system. Oh yeah, the unexpected 5-figure medical bill - I know that feeling. I am still paying it off today.
Challenging claiming it's THE system for 2023. I cannot even promise how my system will look 2 weeks from now 😆
Not really a challenge. Speakers are set. DAC is set. The amp is going nowhere (just like the pass that’s been here two years now). The only change might be a luxman phono pre but that may not be able to be done in 2023. I’ll have reviews or other amps in but they will not be my own. Have a Michi X3 arriving today for review, it that has to be sent back. The system as you see it here is mine, not review units that come and go. I also have a few other DACs, speakers and amps that I own but they do not sound as good as what’s in now. Therefore, this will be my reference set for 2023. Thanks and have a great day.
@@HiFiHuff you could have bought a pair of active ATC SCM ASL reference studio monitors, for less than you have spent on your overpriced passive system, and gained more sound performance benefits in the process, that you just cannot get with any passive audio system.
@@ianjohnhorwood2605 how do you know it's overpriced? And that the sound quality could be improved.... You haven't heard it!
@@ianjohnhorwood2605 Out of all the active monitors out there ATCs are the last thing I'd recommend to replace a nice passive system.
@@bigblueocean all hifi products are overpriced
Your system is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Watching you over the last few years have been so enjoyable as you switch out your pieces. I always look forward to watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. I wish I was your neighbor, would love to come over and have a listen. Wow, again great system.
Fantastic setup. Really interesting speakers... I've actually never heard of them until just now (which is odd, because I've been into audio for nearly 40 years! ). Lux and Pass are among my faves, too. Nice to have the options of owning multiple amps (I do the same, but on a much less costly level). Great vid! (and I love the dedicated room you've made as an extension of your house).
I listened to the LUXMAN L-595A Limited in Rosewood here in Tokyo the other day - a model available only in Japan. The rosewood finish is stunning, definitely an upgrade on the standard silver/black.
but is wood prone to crack, given the constant heat?
@@swcblad Same as valve powered television sets in the olden days..
Nice! 🙂 As a 'tube-head' myself i can whole hartedly recommend the Emission Labs 300b tubes. Maybe even better then the WE's, according to some fans. I agree lol. Best wishes for the season and wishing for a peaceful&healthy 2023.
Love it! Very similar setup as mine. I have a Luxman 590axii and an AirTight ATM-300 Anniv for that tube magic when needed
Well done!!
Thank you for sharing!
What happened to the Supernait3 as a keeper?
Beautiful thanks for sharing 👍🏿
What happen to the PS Audio PowerPlant ?
what a gorgeous system. Can't stop drooling 🙂
Thanks for the tour
Thanks for showing and talking about you audio system.
My background noise issues come from yahoos with chainsaws and various other power equipment here in Vermont.
Play with lifting your cables off the floor. Congrats man looks amazing. Love oswalds mill audio.
Any chance to review table/racking of your '23 system. That will be another pick I love to hear more.
Thanks for the great system tour! Any chance you will review some Hegel products? Would love to hear your take on them.
Nice that you and your wife can share the hobby
BRAVOOOO
Thanks for the tour of your system, it's beautiful and I can only imagine the sound. I'm looking for a cabinet like yours, what's the brand/model?
How does Luxman L 550AXII (class A) compared to L 595A?
Thats a lovely looking set up.
Honestly with turntables, direct drive turntables are so much better than any belt drive,be it vintage or new.
The Pioneer PL -X1000 is tremendous.
He had a SL-1200G in that he really liked, but just wasn't a fan of the looks. It's a pity since the 1200G is a better table (specs as well) than the Luxman PD-151
In your opinion DD is better than belt drive. This isn't the case though. There are great versions of each type.
@@adotopp1865 thats true.
You should try oyaide pure silver cables from shopping Japan. Voodo silver cables are also great specially ethernet
thanks for sharing. Just curious if you've ever heard/reviewed any Sonus Faber speakers? Electa Amator III possibly.
I love the sound of Luxman gear
May I ask which tannoy have you auditioned? And can you share some thoughts on it compare to deville? Many thanks
What happened to the Pass Labs INT-250? :O
I have 2 different amps +different speakers. Difference is the spice of life. And you never get the itch to go get more
I also have the same question on the PS, or any other power conditioning. Have you changed your view on the need? I love my Lux 590ax and just picked up a pair of dynaudio spec 40 which I know that you have enjoyed in the past. I would be curious on ur view of power conditioning. Thanks much
If you love Luxman , try m900 with cl1000 pre , came from pass 160.8
Did you previously have a Cary SLP-05 pre-amplifier? If so, can you compare it to the pre in the Luxman?
Thanks!
I too got hit with some bills. Thanks prostate! It’s gone
Did you pass on those Hermitage Specials? I'm seriously interested in a pair?
Thanks, again, for your posts.
New viewer here.. Fantastic system.. Curious about the distance between you and your speakers.. As well as how far apart your speakers are.. Thanks!
Dude, you made the right decision keeping the Devilles (sp?) Just look at those bad boys. Your whole system is nails. Don't change a thing!
Yeah nails dude
Congrats to the room Acoustics, now you starting to hear music.
Cool...
Nice system! What kind of music do you listen to? Cheers!
Any thought to try some PS Audio FR30 for possible speakers?
What db do you typically listen at?
So what happened to the Feickert Volare? Is the Luxman "Better" ?
No subwoofer huh?
..... Very nice system. Beautiful.
You were pretty passionate about the Weiss DAC. How does the Lina compare?
What happened to the Cardas Clear Reflection?
Do you still have your Dr Feickert turntable? The Luxman is a beautiful turntable!
I would like to have three systems in one (using three amps).
Was the PS regenerator your medical regenerator? Hope you’re ok. System is beautiful.
What happened to PS Audio P20?
What happened to the PS Audio re-generator? Don't see it.
Hope you are doing well with your health
Magnepans are top
It's a race to be the first review of next year. " well in 2025 I will own a marantz pm6008" beat that! I have a modest system lol.
What's happened with PS audio power plant?
What happened to your Valhalla interconnects?
I thought you were still using the Dr. Feickert
very nice integrated unfortunately not enough power to run magneplanars
What happened to the SuperNait , I though would be your go to integrated
what happened to the Naim Supernait 3?
Hold do you deal with it
Hey can you please do one with Aaron ? Who passed 5nov
Who made the audio cabinet? Thanks!
Hello my friend, would you spend the 10 minutes or so to watch the one and only Musician Audio preamp vid review by Soundnews all the way to the end with a gold award! It needs your attention and you can return it to Amazon when done! Explain if it incorporated a r2r volume control or what?
Thanks for the tip. I will take a look!
I just don't like how the Devilles look. Having said that, if I heard them in person I'd likely change my mind. 😆
I love the system, especiaaly the speakes which I've never heard in person. I guess you don't need a sub??
You should ask about is the end times here because of the river drying up with four demon angels underneath it.
What about the sea turning to blood and all the rivers turning to blood? I guess I missed that.
I’m waiting for an answer…………
What happened to the LaScala?
... your low end? Are you a "British sound"
Aficionado?
Are you British Bruce? I thought UK sound was more about midrange . In Germany its sharp highs and kicking bass.
Yoo Doo is that an eco chamber?
Red Dawn is great cable...but, I find moving up in the Nordost line pays dividends. I recall you've had some of their pricier offerings in the past, but now all your gear is different. It's worth a try.
Where is the ps Audio?
magneplanars need nice power amp not all of them will drive them with authority and finesse at the same time
Power conditioning?
Power conditions?
What happened to all the naim supernait 3 hype?
Hes never tried wilson tunetots….i hve supernait3 with tunetots, Very special combo
@@dt9019 id love to hear that combo especially with boundary woofers
I noticed that you dont have an "affordable" budget reference system.
thankgod where i live health care is free
It’s not free, you pay through high taxes.
'Free' but what is the waiting list for an operation?
@@101DV as someone who was in the healthcare business for close to 40 years I can assure you that healthcare in the USA is on average 2X more expensive then other industrialized countries and our quality based on scientific measures is not up to par.......we pay 2X as much and don't get the quality.
@@MyNorthAmetican40 I was writing from a UK perspective (having now worked for the NHS for over 30 years) and seeing people in significant pain waiting over 2 years for the surgery they need (if they survive). I have no experience of the USA system.
@@101DV in the US, the patients experience pain after the surgery...
Great system, you must be very pleased with it, however, you never really know it's true capability until you listen to Mahler's 8th symphony!🙂
It's 2022 isn't it ? I had to ask Google to check.
If everything cost the same , which one would you grab in a fire:)
Denafrips has been around for 12 yrs???? 😬
Hifirose are blocking (from next month) anyone who purchased a product in Korea and brought it overseas. Saying its abuse.. I find this bizarre.
That's a $100K+ system.
Lol, prevent yourself from buying more amps by already owning three 😂
A reference audio system is full range, and think I beg to differ that I don't think yours qualifies, hahaha 🤣.
I think I beg to differ that I don't think that your english allows you to mock anyone...
Play something!!!
Always see the same gears in your "new" videos. Sorry.
Don't be sorry. You have the right to comment like anyone else ☺️
is this interesting to show 100 000 hifi installations ..no...why not ...because only millionaires can buy this... its more interesting to show 5000 installations who sounds goods
Everyone prefers their own speakers over show speakers
Dust on the components???
It's unforgivable!!!
