Always Listening from IKEDA Sound Labs.
Hello!
March is drawing to a close, but how are you all enjoying your analog audio life?
I started using a tonearm at the end of January.
Because I'm constantly manufacturing various products, I don't have much time to listen to records.
I wonder if anyone can relate to this feeling of seeing a pile of records I bought because I was curious about them! (lol)

Today, we'll be sharing information about web media that was released on March 23rd (Monday)!
