Here we are again in lovely Munich. And this is the Marten & Jorma Design Room!

The turntable is connected with Jorma Design Phono of course to the Whest Titan Pro phono amp.

We’re playing tapes on this really cool old reel-to-reel player from Nagra, IV-S.

This is brand new Eric from Engström. A real powerful Tube Amplifier.

Here is also the Select DAC II from MSB

And finally the Aurender media player.

Make your way here if you can, it sounds awesome!

Mingus Quintet and Jorma Design review

These speakers really are something special. They’re clear, open and dynamic but also lusciously smooth and relaxed, with a highly convincing natural tonality and deep, powerful bass.

There are different uses for them, for example just for ambiance at home, for work in the music industry you might need another more powerful or you might just want to play online or watch movies like me.

You’re sitting down for a gaming session, and you have a choice to make. Will you use your PC’s speakers? Or will you put on a headset?

There are pros and cons for both, and depends on the kind of game you like, for example I love to play in the Casinon utan spelgräns to get some money online and I don’t usually even use them but I do love to have the speakers on when I play strategy games or war games.
So Headphones submerge you much more deeply in the sounds of the game and make directional audio cues, like footsteps, much clearer—very important in multiplayer games. They also prevent game audio from passing through your mic if you’re on voice chat. But speakers mean you aren’t completely cut off from non-game related sounds like your doorbell ringing or your dog destroying something in the next room, and they don’t make your head sweaty, either.

That’s our question this week: Do you prefer gaming with speakers or a headset? Our answers are below, and we’d like to hear yours in the comments. While we’re on the topic, here are some of our favorite headsets and the best PC speakers.

 

Now that’s a quote worth boasting about. This is Christian Punter from HiFi magazine HiFi-Advice in a review of our Mingus Quintet and Jorma Design No.3 and Origo cables.
