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

Hey @dwest1023 

i bought mine on US Audiomart from a local user.  It came with an Accupwr 500W transformer and initially I wondered if it was powerfully enough but after several months of listening I found that it’s perfectly adequate and sounds fabulous!

@edubbers I purchase my Accuphase from a Japanese dealer from EBay.

@rodac, no transformer was needed. Supposedly it was converted to 120 by the factory according to the dealer. When I received the amp I saw no evidence of anyone, being inside the unit.
