    What kind of Audiophile are you?

    The rule of diminishing returns seems to apply especially to audio gear Likewise a lot of used audio gear seems to drop off in price quite rapidly. I'm not only talking about items like DACs and streamers where new applications of technology render older models obsolete, it applies to many...

    Biggest Vintage and Used Hifi Store Japan

    Its nominally 100 volts with the US (flat pin) plugs. Every bit of (new) equipment I looked at could accept 100 to 240 volts. One dealer explained that Australia is a large market and auto-switching power supplies are the norm

    Biggest Vintage and Used Hifi Store Japan

    We visited this store in Akihibara, called 'Store #1'. It's quite different from their on-line store and the store prices are considerably higher. As usual with shops in Tokyo, there is an overwhelming amount of merchandise. One noticeable thing was that there seemed to be very few people...

    Please help identify DSOTM release

    There was a cartoon in Punch magazine in the 1960's. Not dis-similar prose to the last paragraph and a record enthusiast is leaning towards a prospective buyer saying "You can hear that it was raining at the time" Seems you need a little provenance to enhance the value of the object you have

    Best drain snake to buy?

    That is the make I have got. One of my inspection chambers has the pipe 1.2m below the surface, so you need to bend the rod quite sharply to get the tool into the pipe. The spring steel is really good and it comes back to shape the moment you pull it out
