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 don't think there is anywhere in the USA where there is a concentration of shops.
You are right!

It is possible to go through more than 100 brands in one floor over there.
The Adelphi in Singapore is very impressive. The Akihabara district of Tokyo is also well worth a visit. Stereo Exchange in New York City used to have a good selection of new and used HiFi.
Akihabara and Adelphi are also nice places.

Yongsan Electronic center used to be very big but had dwindled to half of it used to be during  recent 10 years.
