<p>The weather is always lovely under the painted ceiling at the Venetian:)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s some more stuff from our floor.</p>
<p><a href="http://marten.se/blog/2012/01/only-the-sky-is-the-limit/"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1467" title="Oracle Audio" src="http://marten.se/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/1-660x273.jpg" alt="Oracle Audio" width="660" height="273" /></a></p>

<p>As well as shiny turn tables. Good stuff.</p>

<p>Oh, and here is of course the Djangos in Dan&#8217;s room together with the usual <a href="http://www.ear-yoshino.com/" target="_blank">E.A.R.</a> electronics.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1471" title="Prima Luna" src="http://marten.se/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/5-660x440.jpg" alt="Prima Luna" width="660" height="440" /></p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1473" title="Lansche Audio" src="http://marten.se/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/7-660x440.jpg" alt="Lansche Audio" width="660" height="440" /></p>
<p>Good sounds in the <a href="http://ib-lansche.de/" target="_blank">Lansche Audio</a> room. It almost seems they arranged their stuff according to the sunlight.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1474" title="Lansche Audio" src="http://marten.se/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/8-660x440.jpg" alt="Lansche Audio" width="660" height="440" /></p>
<p>And a snake pit of cables behind:)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1475" title="Kondo" src="http://marten.se/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/9-660x990.jpg" alt="Kondo" width="660" height="990" /></p>
<p>Rather shapely loudspeakers from <a href="http://www.audionote.co.jp/" target="_blank">Kondo</a>.</p>

<p>Here are the delicious stone crab claws at <a href="http://www.joes.net/las-vegas" target="_blank">Joe&#8217;s</a> we were talking about yesterday. We spent the evening there with Henry Ahn from <a href="http://www.saemenergy.co.kr/" target="_blank">SAEM Energy</a> in Korea and his lovely family. They fly these claws fresh from Florida everyday. Apparently they never kill any crabs, they just nip one of their claws off every year and let it grow out again. Must be really annoying to be one of them crabs eh?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We visited a great music-lover and audiophile in Holland in mid-December.</p>
<p><a href="http://marten.se/blog/2010/02/dutch-courage/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-456" title="Rudolph's Coltrane room" src="http://marten.se/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_5708.jpg" alt="Rudolph's Coltrane room" width="660" height="440" /></a></p>
<h5><span id="more-447"></span></h5>
<p>He lives in a beautiful Art Noveau style house, built at beginning of the 1900&#8242;s. Walking through room after room filled with carefully restored period features, furniture and decorations, we were impressed to say the least.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-461" title="Art Noveau staircase" src="http://marten.se/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_5695.jpg" alt="Art Noveau staircase" width="660" height="908" /></p>
<p>It really felt like a journey through time, until we were presented with his set-up and were snapped right back to the present.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-457" title="Marten Coltrane setup" src="http://marten.se/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_5663.jpg" alt="Marten Coltrane setup" width="660" height="440" /></p>
<p>A rather nice setting for the Coltrane Supremes, don&#8217;t you think?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-459" title="Leif" src="http://marten.se/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_5677.jpg" alt="Leif" width="660" height="990" /></p>
<p>This Dutch audiophile/music lover is probably the only person in that world that can say that Coltrane Supreme is his petite system. Here is Leif beside the massive Genesis 1.1 loudspeakers that was driven by Kondo and dCS electronics.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-470" title="IMG_5641" src="http://marten.se/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_5641.jpg" alt="IMG_5641" width="660" height="440" /></p>
<p>These are the electronics used with the Supremes: Kondo M1000 preamp, Kondo KSL dac, Kondo GAKUOH mono amps, Metronome Callisto transport, Forsell Air Reference turntable and mostly Jorma Prime cables. Very, very nice indeed <img src='http://marten.se/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-460" title="IMG_5689" src="http://marten.se/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_5689.jpg" alt="IMG_5689" width="660" height="990" /></p>
<p>The sweetest spot there is:)</p>
<p>Many thanks to the Dutch audiophile and his  family for the hospitality you showed us. We had a very good time in your company.</p>
<p>Leif</p>
