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
@nwres where did you purchase yours from? @easystreamer its exactly what you said |
There is a used US Market 507z unit in excellent condition (9/10) for sale at TMR for $7,000. You could probably make a deal for $6500 plus $135 shipping. I went through the same exercise before purchasing a US Accuphase unit. In the end, I justified it by planning to keep it for the rest of my life. I wanted to maintain access to service and parts in the future, if needed.

Here is an ACUPWR step down transformer that looks to be heavy duty compared to some others on AMZN. |
