Leif

for us that is. Michael Valentine, the avid hifi enthusiast and of course famous underwater photographer has written a great review of our Coltrane Momentos. He has been working on films such as The Da Vinci Code and The Bourne Supremacy and has now created this very interesting read. Please have a look by clicking here.
Below is a photo from the review of the Coltrane Momentos in the making.

See you soon

Leif & Jörgen

Last weekend we had a visit all the way from Taiwan to Marten Centre in Gothenburg. Besides Leif in the picture there is Leo Yeh who runs a very ambitious online magazine called My-hiend.com as well as his girlfriend Carrie who works at the Taiwanese embassy in Copenhagen, Denmark. This couple spent a couple of days in Sweden visiting us and some other manufacturers. You can follow the whole thing here>>

Many thanks for the visit!

“The Marten Dukes are just plain amazing”
A big thank you to Robert H. Levi at Positive Feedback for this brilliant review of the Dukes. Please have a read here.

Here I am in the lovely city Kaohsiung (second largest city after Taipei)  in south of Taiwan. This is the 7th time in Taiwan for me, but only the second time in Kaohsiung. The first time was for a couple of chaotic hours 6 years ago, so it was nice to see more of this city and stay for a number of days.

We visited a great music-lover and audiophile in Holland in mid-December.

The Dream Weekend 27-28/11/09
It might seem like a distant dream now after the holidays and CES but the Marten Showroom was crowded with audio lovers on the last weekend in November 09.

Erik Andersson and Ola Hesselvall, demonstrated their latest amplifier project: The Dream. This has been legendary audio designer Erik’s dream for many years and he has really put all of his experience and heart into it.

The tube amplifier has direct heated triodes (Russian GM70) which are unusually powerful for being single ended (40W). The setup was really something, with our new reference model Coltrane Momento, Jorma Prime cables, Bladelius Embla CD-player, EAT Forte turntable, Helius Omega 12″ tone-arm, Einstein Audio TU3 cartridge and Einstein Audio “Little Big Phono” phonostage.

The furniture used was G.A.D.-Marten. By that we mean the audio furniture and not the brand of the sofa we sat on. And no, it’s not from IKEA:)
