A Good Sounding Fortress – For The Audio Lover


A while ago I visited an amazing HiFi audio fair with my good friend and audio nerd s3rg3@s3rg3.

The fair was situated in a historic and unique fortress like building called Radio Kootwijk.

This building played a historic role in 1923 as a long range radio transmitter that was used as a communication facility between the Netherlands and its then colony of Dutch East Indies.

During the war the Germans used it for communication with their submarine fleet.

I went along to discover the world of the high end audio lovers, but I was just as impressed with the building itself.
