  • 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.

      Are prices much lower compared to US ?

    • @Giulia8017
      @Giulia8017  Před 16 dny

      @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.

    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.

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

    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.

    • @Giulia8017

      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.
