    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    I recently picked up the Panasonic DP-UB820 and have been very happy with it, just make sure you have newer HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 cables, you'll get audio but no video from blurays without it.

    Vinyl Bars Japan

    Bar Martha's sister bar Bar Music is also fantastic. There is Lion in Shibuya for strictly classical music but quite the impressive space.

    Movies

    Seeking New Headphones - Please Recommend

    I love my Meze Audio Classic 99. They're closed back, easy to power, non-fatiguing sound signature. Just an all around great pair. https://mezeaudio.com/products/meze-99-classics-walnut-gold-wood-headphones

    Ugh, that sucks. I had six hours between when my Dirty Weekend's delivered and that nearly killed me.

    Let's See What Makes Your Vinyl Spin!

    The set-up has gone through a big evolution these past few months. The PrimaLuna Prologue has been replaced by a Leben CS300xs and the Focal Chorus have been replaced by Zu Omen Dirty Weekends.
