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)

I agree on that Munich Audio is the best audio show right now.

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.

Good to know you know the Silbatone team. 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.
London UK had Tottenham Court Road, in the city centre, not sure if that is the case now, although there is a damn fine vegetarian curry house very near by. That is still there!.......
