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.

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

I am not familiar with them but I remember someone recommended them if I wanted to try something different from what I had. There is a thread here about these cables. Expensive stuff but you are after Accuphase 600 so you may need just one power cord and maybe one pair of interconnects.
