An audiophile in Tokyo, where the audio/LP stores


What are some good audiophile stores to check out or find some great japanese pressed LPs. Hard to figure this out over the internet so far.

I have a day to kill in tokyo. Would love to mainly checkout some shindo, koetsu or esoteric gear or maybe brands that are hard to find in the states.

You can find Shindo in the US. The importer is in NYC. I know you won't find it in every audio store, but it shouldn't be too much trouble to find a dealer if you can get to a major city.
Pretty much the first rule of any business is that you never tell anyone what you pay for something. Ever. You make something up if you have to. Any info that turns up on what Shindo's markup is, will almost certainly be false.

What difference does it make anyway? Shindo's not entry level gear. If you are going to be buying at that level, you need to be able to judge if their prices are in line compared to the same level of equipment from other brands. If you can't do that, for whatever reason, hold off.
