The price of audio gear always generates interest, for a bit of (harmless or pointless) fun I offer a few pictures I took a couple of weeks ago in Tokyo, I'll let y'all do the currency conversion. Yes friends, buying RME DACs and planar magnetic headphones is for the poverty stricken compared to buying melons, tuna or beef in Japan:eek::p

I thought you were going to mention Richard Mille watches. ;)

You haven't enjoyed good beef until you have enjoyed good beef sukiyaki and beef sushi, not cheap (actually it is frighteningly expensive) but truly heavenly. On the trip to Japan a couple of weeks ago one of our members who is retiring took me and my colleague to dinner as a thankyou to a beef restaurant overlooking the imperial palace and the food and service was the best I have ever experienced by a significant margin, divine. I'm glad I wasn't paying though.....
