The Best City to audition High end and Vintage Audio

Seoul is the best place to audition high end and vintage audio.

There are three places that I can recommend.


The first one is Yongsan Electronic Center which used to house more than 100 audio shops but only 50 remaining now.

The second one is I-Park mall located in Yongsan train station which is 1 km away from the first one.


The third one is Seocho Electronic Center which houses around 30 audio shops located in Gangnam District(Gangnam Style)

"They say if you haven't been to Tokyo you haven't been to a city.

I mean "the rest of us", yes. I sympathize with Japanese - 50 million tourists a year must be terrible.

On 1980, I had been to Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Nagoya, Tokyo and Hakone( Mt Fuji) for 10 days.

I had lot of fun and chance to visit Akihabara.

Since then I visited Tokyo three times more, two on business and another to visit my Japanese friend.

I had never been back to Akihabara again.

So I am curious how it changed almost 40 years after my visit.
