Tokyo's audiophile venues (2016)
Of course the Japanese had this concept figured out.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.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's no background music, when we cook, eat or clean, because we want to rest our ears for the main sessions.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.Most people look at me like I’m insane when I describe this activity.
