Grey amplifier Imports from Japan?

I just contacted ACUPWR representative Ron and he assured me that
there is no hum or degradation to the sound. I am also intending to import
Accuphase E-370 from Japan. He also mentioned that many Luxman
owners ordered step down transformers from them.

In the case of Accuphase, I would definitely buy direct from Japan.  Compared to the US price, you can buy two units from Japan and still have some money left over. (That includes shipping and transformer!)  I would use PriceJapan.com   Anyone curious about distributor markups in the US and Europe should check it this web dealer out. 

This is all good information... I keep stalking the Japanese sites now with more confidence! So over the past few day i was actually able to find a gentleman in my area (SF bayarea) that was able to convert the power internally and he did it with no help from Accuphase, " Sorry but we cannot do voltage conversions due to liability problems" <this should be a whole other thread of why the hell Accuphase are the fun police?!>.  He Read the supply board, drew it's schematic and then verified on paper the change in the jumpers that would resulted in 120vac.  He even gave me a table of how to jump it back to 230vac if need be.  

I’ve purchased an Accuphase phono module using Audiocubes successfully.

Any recent news on Audiocubes or other sellers in Japan?
