  • Vinyl Cartridges Galore!!! :-D at Yodobashi, Tokyo.
    Dear Friends, this is Yodobashi Camera, at Akihabara :-D. It gives me a heightened meaning of the word: “MEGA STORE”.
    Hahaha… I was almost breathless filming this…. the floor area is very big, MANY MANY MANY items are JUST all stacked, packed and situated side by side, that I have no chance to stop.
    Else my legs will be very very tired. My eyes are definitely pretty tired but very happy :-) at the end of this Vinyl-Hifi Tour of Duty.
    Thank you all my friends,
    for watching again!
    Big project coming up.
    Stay tuned.
    Best Regards my friends!
    Sincerely, Ian.

    Most of us can only dream of visiting Japan's hi-fi shops and even shopping, but you have made all of that available for us from far european countries. There's everything one can think of, a real Hi-Fi paradise Thank you A LOT

    Ian San, I'am with vinyl and Hi-Fi since 1974, I have visited most of Europeans and UK's (London) hi-fi shops but never in my life have seen so much and so good equipped shops as in your Japan videos. It's amazing, can barely believe my eyes ..

      Thank you again friend for being with me :-). Perhaps the Technics SL1200GAE and Sony HS-X500 turntables would be out in June soon :-D... Not that I will buy them, but will be interesting to see and touch!

I can't even imagine what that company's overhead burden must be, but as a consumer, I definitely appreciate their demo-based business model. I wish we had stores like that here in the US..... heck I'd be happy with the inventory of just one of their floors on offer at a store here. [wishful thinking]

    I haven't seen an electronics store like that since the 80s - that's the way they used to look (MUCH SMALLER!), but now stores that sell electronics are specialty shops that are like floor rooms, or like Best Buy... kind of a trip down memory lane, actually. We certainly don't have the variety of tables and most definitely not speakers like that... Just incredible. We no longer value electronics like we used to here in the States.

    • @HiViNywschannel
      @HiViNywschannel  8 років тому

      +dixielandfarm Dear Chris,... many of your fellow countrymen have commented similar insights into what's in the States... and now that you have mentioned it again.
      And btw, :-D take heart as the people in the Far East, loves the blue lit VU meters of the McIntosh, and have never let it go. They will be here to stay :-) !!! I know it is kind of a audio cliche to talk about the romance and love of McIntosh, but it is really the truth. American traditional muscular amps will always have a big place in the audiophile's thinking and liking, e.g. Krell, Dan D'Agostino, Mark Levinson, Boulder, etc. :-)
      Best Regards my friend, I totally enjoy everytime you speak to us.

      Again, I really don't know how they can pull it off with anything as grand a scale as that, and work with countless retailers/distributors to have everything put up there for sale together side-by-side...even the high-end models. I really can't fathom how they did it! Amazing...
      Perhaps the limited edition 1200units run of the Technics SL1200GAE coming out in Summer 2016 would be put up there too? :-D

    WOW! Thank you SO much for this! I have always wanted to go to Japan and visit one of the big Akhihabara audio stores, but I am in a wheelchair and the travel would be very difficult for me. Plus, I would come out of there broke! If I ever make it there, I would probably have a heart attack on the cartridge/tonearm aisle. So many Koetsu's and Ortofon's!!! My wife made it to Japan once on business and wound up one day across the street from the Yodabashi Camera store in Shinjuku (spelling?), which is supposedly even larger, but she was with other people and didn't have time to go in. Please excuse my Japanese spelling, most of it is probably incorrect. :( Thanks again. I subscribed. :)

      Dear Eri, you can possibly bring through and hand carry may be one of the pair, and of course the box has to comply with your airline's regulations, e.g. : L+W+D must be less than ____ cm, and weight must be less than __kg :-D I wish you all the best. You may ask another travelling person to hand carry the other of the pair :D!!! I wish him all the best too!!!
