M•Amp by night

We have a lot more to show from CES 2011 so here we go:

The new, very interesting USB Dac from Bladelius. Seems to have very high quality both in performance and appearance.

The new Tyr II from Bladelius where you can get the Dac built in.

Bladelius Embla and Thor III in front of the Trump tower.

Interesting stuff from Taiwanese San Lawren.

Great sounding loudspeakers from Estelon, Estonia. This room had a really nice jungle feel to it:)

Acapella loudspeakers with Einstein Audio electronics sounded really good as usual.

Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?

The Acapella loudspeaker tweeters are interestingly using a sort of plasma technique.

Cheers for now.

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:)

Everything set up and ready to go in the Marten Centre main listening room.

It was a great weekend and thank you very much to everyone involved.
