Thank you for viewing. "Audio Pilgrimage" by Kosuke Gomi First Edition Published July 21, 1980 Stereo Sound *The following is an explanation by AI* The author, a recipient of the Akutagawa Prize and also known as an enthusiastic audio enthusiast, visited the homes of audiophiles across the country and, with unreserved expression, critiqued their prized audio equipment and its sound in this masterpiece essay collection. More than the total cost of the equipment, the author emphasized "the life poured into the sound" and "the importance of the room." This is a record of music and sound that transcends time, also detailing the author's own audio history and unique audio philosophy. The book tours the audio environments of various audiophiles across Japan, from famous enthusiasts to general audio maniacs, and offers frank evaluations. It emphasizes not only the equipment but also the importance of the room in which it is installed, pointing out that the sound can be different depending on the environment, even with the same equipment. More than the price of the equipment, the author finds the owner's passion and life itself in the sound, reflecting how seriously they sought and practiced achieving good sound. The author values the senses (ears) more than theory, and speaks of his attachment to "Western sound" and Tannoy Autograph, based on his own experiences. This book has been published by Stereo Sound as a reprint and as an SS selection, and is a bible for audio fans. (End of AI) Please see the table of contents (Photos 10 & 11).
