Default Gaijin friendly audio shop in Tokyo area?

I asked a similar question over in the full range section a while back but did get much of a response. Considering some of the recent threads here I thought maybe someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.

I'd love to find a decent audio shop in the Tokyo area where I could have a listen to some nice tube amps and high efficiency speakers. I've been to several Yodabashi's and they are pretty cool (especially the big one in Akihabara) but I'd love to find something different.

So, any suggestions? Preferably some place where the staff can speak at least a little English. Much appreciated!

Well, it's not so easy, but I really recommend Hino Audio. There is only one guy who speaks English, but he's happy to spend time explaining things, and they are very honest, they do not push you always to buy the most expensive.
If you want we can go together one day. It's not a fancy shop, and the listening setups are not the best from the acoustic point of view.
If you look more for commercial equipment there is audiounion ????????? - audiounion

They have many shops in Tokyo, I have been to the one in Ochianumizu and the one in Shinjuku.

I did not forgot about my idea of Tokyo Burning Amp, it's only that I did not have time.
