Marten/EAR
I walked into this room by mistake, and what a wonderful mistake it was. Though I did not hear the smaller system in the room, pictured above, the larger system was fantastic. The smaller system comprised of the EAR Acuete III CDP, EAR V12 integrated amplifier, and Marten Duke standmounts.
The larger system, Marten Getz, EAR/Technics 1500 Tape Deck, EAR 890 amp, and 912 per amp with laptop (sorry didn’t get the DAC) playing from iTunes with no mods. This was fantastic to listen to – not because the sound – it did sound well worth the money, but we were able to hear a variety of different sample rates and masters of the same Beatles cut. From 16bit lossless, 24bit remasters lossless, 24 bit rips from the original tape, and from the tape deck itself. It was interesting to hear the different level of detail and staging each format brought to the game. The analog, 24bit, and rip from the original tapes all sounded more natural, relaxed, and a bit more on the physical level of the speakers. The sound seemed to stay with the speakers. The 16bit CD version popped out and was in your face, as well as being less detailed. Fantastically it was good to hear it, as these younger ears, having listened for years to distortion and noise music, could hear more detailed in the distortion between the tape rips and 24 bit remaster, while the guy who owned what was demoing couldn’t really pick it out. Hey, not all distortion is the same! Anyhow, it was a great time, a great demo and I have a lot of respect for EAR and continued respect for Marten speakers. I didn’t hear as much variety in any other room at CES. And the only change was the source.
