Swedish Top Class • Parker Trio Diamond Edition review

Parker Trio Diamond Edition has been reviewed In the February edition of Hifi & Musik in Sweden. The headline reads: Svensk Toppklass—no marks for guessing this means Swedish Top Class.

However, a word that you might not recognise is Blygsam: a Swedish phrase that translates to modest. Although we have a lot going for us—raw beautiful nature, rich food heritage and good design—it’s not in our cultural language to boast. So, it’s especially nice to receive domestic recognition.

“The Marten Parker Trio Diamond Edition plays incredibly nicely, detailed and big- hitting, but also completely unproblematic.”

Hifi & Musik magazine

Editor-in-Chief, Jonas Bryngelsson covers the usual technical aspects and track analysis you would expect from this magazine, and has a some wonderful things to say about Parker Trio DE.

“The musical coherence is magnificent, while the sound image conveyed is large and spacious”

Jonas takes time to compare Parker Trio Diamond Edition to our ‘standard’ Parker Trio, which was also tested by the magazine in 2021. He makes some good points, which may be useful for those deciding between the two models, or existing Parker Trio owners considering an upgrade.

“It opens up the music being played which also spreads to a greater extent. It simply sounds bigger, airier, more detailed and in every way better.”

But he is quick to assure us of the quality of Parker Trio.

“Could I have settled for a Parker Trio if I hadn't done this comparison? Undoubtedly yes, and for those who want, it is also possible to do the upgrade at a later time”

Musical heights in Taipei

At the end of last year Mingus Septet was shown to exceptional crowds at the Taipei International Audio Show.

Mid-December brought many overseas and domestic visitors to the capital of Taiwan—a place that embodies a diverse musical spirit. From traditional echoes in ancient temples to the beats of contemporary scenes, the city’s music reflects a fusion of influences. With venues ranging from the National Concert Hall to underground spaces in Ximending, Taipei’s dynamic sound mirrors its gritty, authentic energy—a testament to the island’s evolving musical legacy.

The annual event—in its 44th iteration—was held at The Grand Hotel.

Parker Trio review in Stereo+ Norway

We have received a Special Recommendation and a 9.1 rating in Stereo+ Norway

Wherever you are in the world, there is always a competitive spirit with neighbouring countries. Perhaps this is less about differences and more about how you are alike. In any case, it’s nice to receive a favourable review from our cousins in Norway. 

“...it's almost funny to think that Marten has so many speakers over the Parker Trio in the range. Because do you really need anything particularly better than this?”

Many thanks to Stereo+ and Mala Audio for their continued support across the border.
