Members in the Netherlands?

[Holmz]

I have a question about a shop if there is someone that can PM…

 

[KeesNL]

From the Netherlands here, what shop are you interested in? Maybe can help.

 

[Huubw]

I am from the Netherlands too. If possible I'm ready to help.

I'm not from the Netherlands but I've bought high end stuff from a Dutch dealer. We still need to know the dealer you re concerned about.

This one…

MULTI AUDIO HIFI
DINGSPELLAAN 7824
GB EMMEN NETHERLANDS
Phone: +31 9700 5033 293
Website: https://multifunctionhifi.nl

Wondering if anyone knows of them and has experience with them.

 

[Huubw]

Never heard of this shop.
The website doesn't look very reliable to me . . .
The Dutch "Chamber of Commerce" (Kamer van Koophandel) doesn't show any information about this name, something it does with any other reliable shop.

 

[andromedaaudio]

Me neither .
Looks very suspicious.
Also the Emmen area tel code is completely different.
0591

And mobile no in NL are 06 numbers .

 

[Huubw]

You're right Andromedaaudio! 9700 phone numbers are not regular in the Netherlands.
They are sometimes used for spoofing activities . . . .
This phone-number consists of 11 figures.
A regular Dutch phone number has 10 figures.

Looked up the address on Google streetview, it shows just a regular family house, not a hifi shop.

They run an above average operation for a scam.
But the cackles on my neck raised up from something…

Tak, bedankt

Yes, the Nagra CDC looks nice, but the site has all the characteristics of being a scam. Products are mostly appealing or of high interest, descriptions are just specifications. The site is really amateurish - I have seen much better scammers ...

BTW, IMO the choice of the country is not innocent - the Netehrlands are known for a few serious and reliable high-end brokers - I have bought from them several times.

Score one for WBF!!!!! Scammers-0

Red flags all over the place. If they are (highly doubt) legit it's very amateuristic.
No COC/KVK nr to be found, no contact exept a non NL number. Like said Red Flags all over.

The name is also a bit of a rip-off. It resembles a well-known company with excellent reviews in the Netherlands, Multifoon.

Well at least I saw one of the red flags…

Thanks for everyone’s help.

We are planning on moving to the Amsterdam area end of 2026 or early 2027. I am hoping to meet some audiophiles once we move there.

When here try to visit the Dutch Audio Event, always 4+5 oktober. Lots of hifi freaks and new stuff. Contacts are easy on such shows

Who is “we”?
And who is paying for the move?

 

[NBPK402]

My wife and I are moving and paying for the move. My wife's sister lives in The Netherlands and her nephew. We want to be closer to her family.

That is good training to get her to “Go Dutch” by paying 1/2
