In Reply to: RE: A visit to Sun Audio in Tokyo posted by Gary B. on October 03, 2015 at 12:34:40
I am heading to Tokyo next month and might have time to visit Akihabara. Can you offer suggestions of interesting places to visit? I'm not likely to be buying; just want to see what's notable, new or otherwise worthwhile.
TIA,
David

When I was there, Uchida-san of Sun Audio gave me a little booklet announcing a special event next week (10/12 and 10/13) celebrating the 20th anniversary of an Akihabara group of shops that specialize in tube audio, high efficiency speakers, and DIY. It has a list of 50 shops and a map showing their location. I'll scan it and post it later.
Until then, you should take a look at the page that Pete Millett has posted about his adventures exploring Akihabara and other DIY locations in Asia. It's really well done.

Things are changing all the time in Akihabara, so some of his information might be out of date. But the pictures and maps are really useful. Otherwise it's hard to get oriented.

Here's a map and a link to the list of stores.
