Shops in Japan that support international shipping?

Want to buy a luxman or Accuphase preamp/amp. The price in Japan is much cheaper than here in USA. Wonder whether it is possible to do that other than fly to japan and carry them back...

There are two options:
1. Find the shop that supports international shipping
2. Use shipping agent like tenso or other service? Any recommendation? The package should be around 30kg...damn

Isn't wall voltage lower in Japan?  100 VAC instead of 120? Not an issue for you?

Yeah. You'll have to buy a transformer.
Good luck finding one that doesn't degrade.

Go to eBay if you want a cheaper alternative that needs a transformer to run correctly

Accuphase preamp/amp

Accuphase gears can be converted to 100v, 120v or 220/240v internally.

Audio Cubes prices arent that good. You can get USA Voltage ones for just slightly more. Why go thru the headache and not have a warranty to boot
