Studio Mule

The room

Studio Mule brings vinyl, vintage audio and natural wine together in Shibuya. Wines are selected through conversation with the staff, and guests are asked to keep their voices low enough for others to enjoy the music.

Shibuya wine kissa on Klipsch Cornwalls (generation unspecified), a Thorens turntable and Mark Levinson amplification. Cornwalls plus Levinson is a high-efficiency speaker with a refined solid-state or Class-AB control amp — body from the Heritage three-way, grip from Levinson. Thorens points to an album deck rather than a pair of 1200s.

About the sound system

How the system serves the room

At Studio Mule, the equipment record identifies Klipsch Cornwall; generation unspecified. The loudspeakers set the starting point for coverage and placement. A plausible reason to choose a dedicated hi-fi installation here is to give records a clear presence without relying on background-music speakers alone.

Placement, room acoustics and operating level still determine the result. Published information does not establish all amplifier assignments, processing settings or the reasons behind the original purchase.

Technical interpretation based on the documented equipment; selection motives and measured in-room performance are not confirmed.
