Japan Audio Trip 2015 (June 19 – 22, 2015) Part 1 of 3

This is my first trip to Japan. Me and my friends booked a flight 1 year ago.

We have only 3 days in Japan for this time,

so we planed to visit the places that’s not too far from Tokyo.

In first day (June 19, 2015) after arrived Narita airport, we went straight to Shinjuku area

to visit Mr Toshiaki Kurashima of P&C Electronics.

His shop has many things that impress us so much.

He has many hard to find tubes for sell, original Western Electric parts,

re-wire transformers using WE cores, tube amplifier kit and his own tubes !!!

Beautiful components wiring.

He’s used WE wires in every points even filament power from switching power supply.
