Teruhisa Onda (御田照久) is an audiophile celebrity in Osaka Japan. He writes for “Audio Basics” magazine and owns a pair of B&W Nautilus. He is one expert in audio with very deep knowledge in various of audio sources playback. He recently has added a music server with a Macbook Pro, Plextor Premium 2 and Weiss DAC2.

His website is one great sources for audio. Even though I don’t know Japanese, I can read through some of his articles such as adding isolated power transformers, very detail setup list for how he use computer based audio sources.

Two weeks ago, Teruhisa Onda and his audio friend visited DwS mastering studio and we had a great audio discussion. I played him various CDs, and high resolution high sampling rate recordings. I’m very glad that he likes our upcoming Audiophile Jazz Prologue – Part03 Limited Edition so much, and hope he can spread our news to japanese audiophiles.

He introduced me to Waon Records – an Osaka based audiophile records producer/owner, Mr. Kazuhiro Kobushi. Waon Records are made with purist in mind. Mr. Kazuhiro Kobushi uses one-point microphone technique with a space pair AB of Earthwords QTC-1 microphones. Shortest signal path with Grace Design micpre to Tascam DV-RA1000 DSD recorder. Teruhisa gave me a Kazuhiro Kobushi CD, which is an original music piece. The sound is as expected clear and high fidelity. Thank you very much Mr. Onda and Kobushi, I look forward to have more crossovers together. Maybe one day we can bring a group of musicians to record in your excellent Osaka recording hall. Mr. Kazuhiro makes his own monitors with Dynaudio tweeter and Eton Woofer.

I admire Teruhisa Onda enthusiasm in audio. He is a true audiophile.
