Going to Japan and buy from Japan

I also wanted to add that although Accuphase is well known for build-to-last, I do have a great friend of mine in Dallas whom can fix it.

Great buys at  40% less $$

I just came back from Japan after a

month. Audio, culture and great food. I brought back heavy pieces of equipment.  They were in their original double boxes! I went to a dept store a bought a very large hard case piece of luggage. Hard case because I didn’t want airplane handling to puncture thru soft case.  A very bright fiber glass luggage with wheels. A one time use luggage.  I had all paperwork but it wasn’t needed. Hamada to JFK to Naples Fl all good. Go to a Kisa jazz bar too !!!

an awesome trip the family will enjoy and so will you!

japan will welcome you!! Perfect place !

your on the Right Track the audio salons are spectacular, another highlight of your trip

buzz me if you’d like to discuss more 

When I returned I purchased a 400 watt 120v to 100v converter ( toroid xformer

) my equipment was turntable and Cartridge and phono preamp.  There are

many great converters on Amazon 2 day delivery !!

I'm going to Japan this year as well. I will be looking at tonearms, cartridges, and possibly cables but nothing that would require power conversion. I have had bad past experience with European equipment converted to US voltage. On the other hand I did once use a 100V Japanese tube amp with a Variac and it worked well, but that was not an expensive amp, and it was hard to resell.  Accuphase products are expensive even in Japan...way too risky even if it were set up for 120V in Japan, it would still be a gray market import here in the US.
