I visited Akihabara during the mid-'90s during a business trip. Thankfully a colleague from my company's Tokyo office served as my guide. It was a wonderful experience--there were all kinds of shops with very cool stuff. It seemed as though all the '50s-'60s U.S. tube audio gear ended up there (I would later find more such gear in Seoul S. Korea).

One shop offered an array of beautiful connectors and cable, especially for audio-HiFi-stereo apps. I bought about two dozen connectors and some cable, and upon my return made up some cables for my stereo system.

From my notes, there is an article on Akihabara in the July 2002 issue of IEEE Spectrum magazine.?
