Good sounds at Gothenburg Sound & Vision 2014

The weekend is finally here and we’re for some good music. And some good sounds of course. The Coltrane Supreme 2 system has been playing non stop since yesterday and no one seem to tire of finding new songs to play.

Marten at Gothenburg Sound & Vision 2014

There’s a great HiFi show in Gothenburg – Sweden the weekend of 20-21 September. We will be playing the gigantic Coltrane Supreme 2 in our state-of-the-art listening room together with Jorma Design cables, MSB and Whest electronics, Gigawatt power conditioners and more.

You can meet Angel Despotov from exclusive Analogue Domain, the hottest electronics from Germany. We will of course demo one of their amplifiers, The Artemis.

We will also play our own recording Supreme Sessions 1 on Django XL and Django L in another room.

We open already on Friday 19 September 1pm – 6pm, Saturday 10am – 5pm, Sunday 10am – 5pm. We are located at Chalmersgatan 24, about 200 meters away from one of the show hotels Park Avenue.

Please come and see us and listen to some good tunes!

Multipak report

Last weekend we had a fantastic time in Croatia. Our distributor Slobodan from BM made us feel real welcome to the well renowned boutique hifi show Multipak in sunny Pakrac.

It was really good as our room felt more like a living room rather than a show. We had this great setup:

Good times!

Even though we’ve been listening to music 24/7 the last four days we still haven’t had enough. It’s an addiction isn’t it, a healthy one though.

Day One

We managed to finish the room acoustics and the rest on time and this is the result!

Main setup with Coltrane Supreme 2, Dartzeel mono blocks, Jorma Design cables and SMT room acoustics.

Marten Heritage Getz 2 loudspeakers, Dartzeel integrated amp and Jorma Design cables.

It really sounds great, especially when playing our own cd release: Supreme Sessions 1.

We’ll be back soon with more details.

Coltrane in Munich!

A few days left to the Munich High End. We will be in room A4 2.OG F214. We present the world premiere of Coltrane Supreme 2 together with SMT Diffusors, Jorma Design cables and DarTZeel electronics. Please come and have a listen.

And finally, The Room!

It took a while but finally we could find a moment to post this. All of the diffusors were delivered at midnight the night before the show so the room wasn’t ready until just a couple of hours before the show opened! Such a great feeling to do the final touches after so much hard and stressful work.

The Coltrane Supreme 2 really sound absolutely fantastic.

All together with the rest of the coolest stuff:

Starting off with:

This is what came so late but it was worth the wait. SMT‘s amazing diffusor/reflection ceiling.

Jorma Design Statement – brand new cables

Pass Labs Mono Power Amps: XS300

Pass Labs XS pre amps

Whest Audio Phonostage Ref 5 MK4

Bergmann Audio Sleipner turntable with Ortofon Mc Anna cartridge.

MSB Diamond Dac and UMT Plus

As all of us main exhibitors (Marten. Jorma Design and SMT) are Swedish we gave the entrance a slight Swedish feel with birch trunks.

Dan Meinwald doing his thing

We’ll be back tomorrow, cheers!
