Hi Mike,
Given the convenience, you should find a specialty store for DTM and (field=
)
recording.
FYI
In Akihabara, there is only one store I know.
It's "TOMOKA".
But TOMOKA specializes broadcast, professional audio (PA) and lightning.
http://www.tomoca.co.jp/proshop/proshop.html
So I recommend "POWER REC" (at Shibuya) to you.
It's a branch of IKEBE-GAKKI specializing DTM and recording, literally.
I bought MR-1, H2n, microphones, audio interfaces, ...etc at here.
First, please see the store's photo (including "filed recorder corner")
below.
