OK,
Den Den Town is the place to go in Osaka. I saw a huge box of tubes for sale in a side alley, and lots of pricey horn speakers.
Here are some examples of price differences I saw:
Leben CS 300: Here $3500, there $1800
Luxman SQ38: Here $6000, there $3000
Denon DL103R: Here $379, there $414 (hmm).
I actually spent my money on a bass guitar though:
1978 MusicMan Stingray: Here $2500+, there $1680!!!
