I just wanted to get a bit of advice from you guys as to where I might be able to find used audio equipment shops in Tokyo and Yokohama. I'll be flying out in about a week, and am thinking of having a bit of a hunt around for suitable shops, though whether or not I'll have the required cash for any of the nice gear is very debatable!

I seem to remember quite a big place in Shinjuku, from my last visit 20 years ago, a few places in Akihabara, and a little place near the naval base in Yokosuka. I'm into walkmans and discmans and mini compo systems as well as full-sized gear, so any and all advice welcomed!

Any help much appreciated.

Regards, Jon.

Look up the addresses for the following chains in Tokyo.....HiFi Do and AudioUnion. They all have large stocks of used equipment, I can vouch for Audio Union in Shinjuku they speak good English and are very willing to allow you to audition whatever takes your fancy (I bought a nice used Ortofon SPU and they set up a whole system to let me hear it in action). In the same block as Audio Union is Disc Union which has probably the largest & best price/condition jazz LP stock I have ever seen, but if Jazz isn't your thing they have countless other stores specializing in whatever takes your fancy

But make sure you have the address (if possible a map) of the store before you set out as they are often on the 5-6th Floor of anonymous looking buildings & finding can be really difficult if you can't read Japanese.
