Hi-Fi Do Online Newsletter August 27, 2005 Do you know Gotobi in Japan? Gotobi is the date of multiples of 5(i.e. 5,10,15,20,25,30) . It reminds us of payment, collecting money and traffic jam. Payment in business is usually settled on these days in Japan and it causes heavy traffic jams. Hi-Fi Do is planning to update "BUY and SELL price list" on "Gotobi". If you want to know the price of your audio gears, please refer to the following website. http://www.hifido.co.jp/buy/index.html 1.My Audio & Jazz History 2.My Treasure - "Wrinkles like grooves brings audio wisdom" 3.CD Picks of the Week 4.Walking around Akihabara 5.Auction in Newsletter 6.Information from Shop Managers 1.My Audio & Jazz History It is the reality that even if I wish to get my favorite used audio equipment, I can rarely have a look at a new current model of it. But despite such preconception, the new model happens to arrive at the store at an unexpected time. http://www.hifido.co.jp/merumaga/special/050826/indexe.html 2.My Treasure - "Wrinkles like grooves brings audio wisdom" One of the ways to enjoy audio equipment is to handcraft an amplifier by ourselves. In those days "radios" were prevalent and there were many radios manufactured by makers. Even so, many amateurs tried handcrafting radios because it was interesting. http://www.hifido.co.jp/merumaga/otomeijin/050819/indexe.html 3.CD Picks of the Week It is turning point for artists to switch their label.
