Buying a Luxman L505z from Japan

@edubbers   You can check out the AUDIO CUBES website and see the prices posted for Luxman/Accuphase/Esoteric etc.  You will pay more than buying direct from a Japan source. On some of the Accuphase models I notice they are offering to change the Voltage to USA so you wont have to worry about a converter.  

  Some people have said "DONT DO IT" because of the voided warranty issue.  For the amount of money you save on the ACCUPHASE units you could buy 2 of them for the price of 1 of the same unit here in the USA.   Pretty sure one isnt going to blow up 2 Accuphase Amps in their lifetime given their exemplary track record. Talk to an experienced Accuphase dealer and ask them how many times in their history an Amp had to be sent for repairs.

I own an Accuphase amp and a Luxman turntable both purchased in Japan.  I purchased a NISSYO industrial transformer from Japan (NDF series (voltage down) 120V 100V1500W NDF-1500U) on Amazon and it works flawlessly with both the amp and turntable.   I did see that you can no longer purchase this transformer on Amazon and I did not look for other sources. 

I have since converted the Accuphase to US voltage when I had the amp upgraded  with new caps, resistors and transistors.

PS - Easy to do with Accuphse due to the use of "universal" power transformers.  Not possible with most Luxmans. 

@riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook hey have you purchased from AudioCube- I see the product but the site looks super sketchy 

@edubbers  They've been in business for probably 10+ years now. All the dealers know they're legit at what service they provide. THATS what pisses them off. If it was not a legit threat nobody would be complaining about them.
