High End Show – Stockholm 2015

We’re really happy that Coltrane Supreme 2 was chosen to feature in the main advertising of HEM, the great HiFi Show this weekend in Stockholm. It’s all over the place.

We will have a big room where we present Coltrane Supreme 2 with Analog Domain amplifiers, MSB Select DAC, Jorma Design Statement cables as well as a turntable from Rui Borges and more.

On every hour we will have a presentation for about 45 minutes where we play music and talk about our flagship model Coltrane Supreme 2.

We really look forward to A few of the presentations that will be turned into proper vinyl sessions when Rui Borges and Marc Gomez of SAT take over.

Also, Frank Vermeylen from MSB will visit us to talk about the fantastic MSB electronics that goes so well with our models.

You really should try and make it to this show as we can promise you a fully loaded weekend with great sounds in the middle of beautiful Stockholm.

Welcome!

Scandinavian music today

There’s been a lot of words written about modern Scandinavian music, mainly because it’s known to be fresh electronic pop that has its own sound. Those words has not been written in High End audio publications previously since the sound quality hasn’t been anywhere near good enough. They might sound good in a club or in headphones but that’s about it. Improve your listening experience with the Best wireless earbuds of this year.

Little Dragon by Marco Van Rijt

Now, things are changing. If you have a listen to Gothenburg band Little Dragon’s latest album ‘Nabuma Rubberband’ you’ll find amazing sounding music with real high quality. Yukimi Nagano‘s voice sound crystal clear agains the deep electronic tones.

Röyksopp Robyn – Do It Again

Norwegian pop duo Röyksopp and Swedish pop artist Robyn have also recently released an EP called ‘Do It Again‘ together that has a rich, detailed and great sounding electronic production.

So, if you’re in to pop but find it hard to discover music that sounds good on your own system you should give these guys a chance. Also, comment if you have any other suggestions that you think would belong here.

If anyone knows Little Dragon you should tell them to pop in considering they’re in Gothenburg as well:) We have Coltrane Supreme 2 set up now in the big Svanå level 3 listening room and ‘Nabuma Rubberband’ sound absolutely amazing. Official invite to Little Dragon! Contact on: info@marten.se +44 31 20 72 00
