I purchased an Accuphase amp from a jp dealer on EBay. The voltage conversion was done by the dealer. The amp is built like a tank. I paid less for it than my Hegel 390. Had I purchased it state side it would have cost what my Pass 250 cost. If I only get 6 years out of it and it dies, I could care less. Since it’s not my main amp and I rotate 8 different amps I believe it will out live me.
Going to Japan and buy from Japan
Wife is planning a family trip with kids to Japan in 2027. How and where to buy a new or used Accuphase gear and bring / ship back to US?
i probably need a way to communicate to arrange with a store there in Japan prior?
if you know a place in Japan that can convert voltage to US, please also share.

nasaman, you may check your dream amp options below. finding unit in JP and traveling w/ heavy piece isn’t fun! https://audiocubes.com/pages/faqs-information |
chrisoshea, why do you suggest that? I tried to buy accu from us dealers, here is a summary: 1) even at price of almost two units from JP, no stock, waiting time for unit to arrive is is more than month, in some cases 3+ months 2) warranty is not much different comparing to e.g. audiocubes 3) price is almost double of importing from JP 4) fixing after warranty cost is huge, not guaranteed.. local good techs can handle 90% of issues at much lower price |
