@OP - buy in your local market - the compromises in using a transformer and lack of warranty and after sales service support just aren't worth it. At the end of the day day, after you pay import duties and buy the transformer, how much are you going to save.
Buying a Luxman L505z from Japan
Hey, so I’m looking to purchase a Luxman L505z from Japan - I will need a 120-100v step down transformer . I wanted to find out if anyone has experience with this and if it will compromise the sound in anyway? I saw one from a dealer on eBay with a 99% rating, but I’m unsure if I should trust it. Any insights would be greatly appreciated

Maybe a 40% savings. If nothing goes wrong with the unit, a decent risk benefit proposition. ------------------------------------------ Ebay Seller in Japan = $3,500 Tariffs = $350 (assuming 10%) Delivery = free Transformer = $100 TOTAL Japan Market Unit = $3,950 US Market Unit MSRP = $7,000 Sales taxes = ??? Shipping = assume free ??? |
