Hey all,
 
Very sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I trawled but couldn`t find anything specific.
 
I was wondering where Japan residents get their boutique parts? I`m looking for things like silver wire, audiophile caps (including black gate), etc.
 
Thanks in advance!

None other than Pete Millett gave us the guided digital tour of all the best places in Asia - complete with satellite maps, train station directions, and where to find what in Japan.  When I read this travelogue for DIY Head-Fiers, I just drool:

Have fun!  You're very lucky - these kind of open markets and street-front electronics parts stores disappeared in the United States several decades ago (if they ever existed like this).
