Tokyo's audiophile venues (2016)
Of course the Japanese had this concept figured out.<p>I do this thing with a small group of friends, where we drive like 3-4 grands worth of speakers and room correction DSP (Genelec and DSpeaker) to a summer cottage every 6-8 weeks or so. The place, a big log cabin, happens to have wonderful acoustics.<p>And we just sit back, mostly STFU and listen to a selection of music for an entire evening, DJ:ed by me (I accept requests), and we eat good food. There&#x27;s no background music, when we cook, eat or clean, because we want to rest our ears for the main sessions.<p>The next day, we drive back, I check everything we listened to from Last.fm, and I create a Spotify playlist of the event, which we all save.<p>Most people look at me like I’m insane when I describe this activity.
