This is part 2 of the Tokyo Hifi Shopping series.
Audio Union is the largest specialty hifi chain in Japan with seven outlets. I visited their main outlet in Ochanomizu.
They carry new and used gear including Accuphase, Luxman, Esoteric, TAD, McIntosh, Bowers & Wilkins, KEF, Magico, Sonus Faber, Marantz, Denon and lots more.

I have never seen so much Hi Fi and accessories in on shop very impressive

Audio Union is a must stop if you are an in Tokyo. The shop I feature in my next video have more floors and even higher end gear. Subscribe and you will be notified when its released

@sylvio1980 Месяц назад

Are prices much lower compared to US ?

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

@sylvio1980 For the Japanese made items, generally yes. For non Japanese brands it varies due to pricing strategies, exchange rates so it’s best to check.

Very interesting. I enjoyed that.

Phasemation does great tube amps and Dela is the domestic name for Melco. Thanks for the video, it was entertaining to watch.

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

Thanks for the encouragement 😁

I love how you're shooting a video while there are no phone or camera signs posted on the shelves. You got permission first right?

@stevelin2804 Месяц назад

You should see Part 3. He was asked to stop filming in another shop. What a scene.

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

Audio Union was kind enough to let me video, they plan to use it for their website blog as well.

@a.c.9495 Месяц назад

Shocking amount of quality gears. I would spend the whole day in there….sadly no proper listening room though

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

Thank you for subscribing. There is a listening room on level 3 (10:30 onwards) where I had a nice time comparing B&W, Sonus Faber, TAD and KEF speakers

@richardcarlow6146 Месяц назад

The Dela brand is making network switches and music library/servers. It's Melco in overseas markets.

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing! Much appreciated 👍🏼

Can these stores get 120V US version audio equipment if special ordered?

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

No, they only sell for Japan domestic market

Been to Audio Union in Hon-Atsugi-Atsugi, Sagamihara, Machida and Shibuya/Shinjuku. Was able to buy/pay and return after 7 days. Depending on the shop was treated well to poorly.

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

I’ve been to the one in Shinjuku and it’s much smaller than the Ochanomizu store. Which was your fav store among those that you visited?

@MasterofPlay7 Месяц назад

So are you going smuggle an accuphase from Japan?

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

I wanted to bring everything home. 😭

@MasterofPlay7 Месяц назад

@@Hifihobby but the voltage is different

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

Well if you don’t mind then step down transformer is available. There are really good quality ones in Akihabara, I will share in a later video where to find them.

@MasterofPlay7 Месяц назад

@@Hifihobby but will the step down degrade the sound?

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

Adding something to the power supply chain can have some effect of course but whether it’s audible is another thing.

@jayem1826 Месяц назад

If you think the prices are high, remember, so is the rent. It’s JAPAN!

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

With Yen at current low rates, there no better time to buy

@kazuhironakata5572 19 дней назад

videotaping allowed here?

@Hifihobby 19 дней назад

Usually no. But they gave special permission

такое впечатление что все дизайнеры аппаратуры вымерли в 80х годах прошлого века. Печаль...

价格不合理的旧货，即使转换成价格，甚至比新货还贵

@tonymckay6556 Месяц назад

expensive entry level gears.

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

The huge used selection will be a great option if you can’t afford new.

@a.d.sukumar3995 Месяц назад

I am from india..can i get shop's contact no?

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

You can email them (contact in their website). Please note they don’t send overseas

@chandimabodhinath1779 Месяц назад

Disappointed. Most of the time only heard you whispering and did not know what I was looking at. A great video but It was like watching a silent movie.

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

I was filming as discretely as possible to not disturb the shop. It’s also considered rude in Japan to speak loudly in public.

You're not even supposed to take photos or record on their premises and get complaining that the voiceover's subpar? Be lucky to enjoy the footage that he was able to sneak out.

@Hifihobby Месяц назад

Thanks for your appreciation and feedback for improvement.

@@thekenthouse6428 This should have been stated at the beginning of the video so we would know. Pretty simple isn't it. We were not born in Japan. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
