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)

Silbatone ( my friend’s HEA company) only attend the Munich show to show off their amplifiers and vintage Western Big horn. About 10 years ago, they attended Las Vegas CES show but not any more. HEA is dying in US, I watched Munich Show through only You tube. In a year or two, I wish to attend the show myself.

I have their 9018 DAC that is unexpectly poor performing in terms of tone and noise compared to 1794 DACs and 9038Pros. Maybe I can find answers through you.
