High End Munich 2015 – The Room

We were lucky to get some shots of the room yesterday before we opened otherwise it’d have been impossible. There has been a constant crowd hindering the view 🙂 Leif is playing a crazy mix of tunes, everything from Rock with Jimi Hendrix , Jazz with Hiromi and Beethoven with Lang Lang to Electronica with James Blake and Blues with Junior Wells. It all sounds great!

Here is the main system – Four MSB M203 Mono blocks between the pair of Coltrane 3

MSB Electronics with the Hard Disk Player Aurender X100 closest in the middle. All on Solid Tech racks.

Jorma Design cables are being used all over. Here is a Jorma Prime on display.

Our logotypes can be seen behind the new SMT S-Wings.

The brand new MSB Select Dac

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.

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.

Pass Labs Mono Power Amps: XS300

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.

We’ll be back tomorrow, cheers!

“Before anything else,

preparation is the key to success”

said Alexander Graham Bell, perhaps the worlds first audiophile. Preparing is exactly what we’re doing these days yet another time at the CES Show 2014 in glorious Las Vegas. There’s a lot work left but tomorrow the preparation should be done.

We will get back to you soon, with more stuff from it all.

Cheers

Sjöströmska kvartetten

This weekend we had four very talented ladies here. Sjöströmska Kvartetten is a string quartet based in Gothenburg that has been around since 2007. They were very thorough and professional which suited our special project perfectly. We will tell you more about this in a while. It’s exciting stuff.

You can find out more about them here: Facebook, website, Myspace

Munich High End 2013

Only a little more than a week to the annual High End Show in Munich! We will show:

Django L and

Coltrane Tenor together with Nagra electronics and Purist Audio Design cables. We’ll also make use of Svanå Miljöteknik’s excellent diffusors as usual. Now, that sounds like a good combo doesn’t it?:) You can follow us right here on this blog as we’ll try and update as often as we can.

Come and visit us! We will be in Booth nr: Atrium 4 2.OG F 214.

Welcome

The Stockholm Syndrome

We are held hostage by the sound in our room! We simply can’t tear ourself from listening to more and more music:) The MSB Analog DAC and S201 amplifier + data transport sound amazing with our Django L. Come visit us if you’re around. We’re in the ‘Grundström’ room at Lundqvist & Lindqvist‘s showrooms at Stockholm High End 2013.

Behind the Scenes

These are the cables we use in both of our set ups, from Purist, good stuff.
