I used to have a pair of the amps, Telefunken V69b. Not bad but not as good as the earlier V69a.

When I picked up the V69b's in Germany the owner demonstarted his V69a's against Marantz 9,s. The source was a Studer A730 and speakers were Tannoy GRF's. The Telefunkens were better all round.

Although not quite in the same league as marcos shop, this places has a lot of vintage equipment on offer. They also have prices in euros and ship internationally.

I can thoroughly recommend hifido. I have purchased from them in the past and the experience is always good.

I was fortunate enough to visit Tokyo on business a few years ago. I wandered around Akihabara in a daze. Imagine a really good curry (not necessarily hot), it's assaults all your tastebuds from every direction. Akiharbara was like that. Totally stunning, ok lots of hi-tech new stuff, but loads of valves, speakers and decks to blow your mind. Amazing demos in huge rooms full of completely exotic kit.

Is it in the Akihabara district or somewhere else? I can't read the bloody address!

Doesn't look like it:

Sagamihara Sagamihara, Kanagawa 6-24-3, Chuo-ku
Jupiter Building
　　
12 minutes walk from south exit of JR Yokohama Line Sagamihara station
