This is amazing news for us. A massive thank you to audiohub.gr and everyone else that helped this happening.
audiohub.gr is one of the bigger high-end audio forums with a huge following across the world.
the Coltrane Momento 2 was neutral, 3-D, spacious, alive, and astonishingly of a piece from top to bottom—excellent on digital and on an R2R recording of a jazz trio (where it was superb on bass, drum, and ride cymbal), and among the best I heard on my Sachmo LP.
Great quote about our room at the Munich High End from Mr Jonathan Valin at The Absolute Sound. We are very happy to be part of ‘The Best’ section. Have a look closer here.
It’s the day after a great show so here is a full photo report of the room.

Our great distributor from Soundray Electronics is at the Kaohsiung Hi-End Show from today to 1 April! Our classic Miles 5 is on show. Come in and have a listen!
We had a brilliant weekend at the Guangzhou International Advanced Audio Exhibition 2018. It is one of the bigger shows in Asia and it was packed most of the time. We played our Coltrane 3s for the first time together with Swizz Goldmund Electronics which was a great combination along with Jorma Design Statement. The spectacular CD player is from French Metronome. As per usual when in China the audience is a great deal younger than in the West so good energy all round.
Thank you to everyone involved!
Here we are again in lovely Munich. And this is the Marten & Jorma Design Room!

We just had a fantastic weekend participating at the Guangzhou AV Fair. Great sound, great music, great people, everything you need for a perfect show.
Our Coltrane Supreme 2 had good company with CH precision electronics, a TechDas turntable that had a SAT tonearm. Impressive was the word we heard the most and we agree the sound was breathtaking, if we may say so ourselves.
Jörgen held a few presentations in front of the crowds of audiophiles.
One can expect a lot of people in big city like Guangzhou but the visitor count was extremely high this time!
A big thank you to everyone involved. We are looking forward to next year.
We just received a nice email form our great distributor in Holland:
We had extremely good feedback at this national show where 3600 visitors attended.
The setup consisted of:
Marten Mingus Quintet speakers
Bladelius Embla CD transport
Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC
Jeff Rowland Corus pre amp
Jeff Rowland Model 825 power amp
Jeff Rowland PSU power storage unit for Aeris/Corus
Stillpoints ESS rack and Ultra 6 resonance control devices
Jorma Prime and Statement cables
Alluxity streamer
And of course the sound was brilliant!
Thank you Hans!
This past weekend was very stimulating for us. Being in Tokyo and also having the opportunity to participate at the fantastic Tokyo International Audio Show. This was the first time there which made it even more exciting.
We showed our mighty Coltrane 3 together with a TechDas turntable, SAT tonearm, CH Precision and Constellation Audio electronics. This combination made for a real detailed and rich sound that was very well received. Our room was full to the brim most of the time.
We are having a real food experience here in Tokyo, the standard is as high as can be almost everywhere.
