Accuphase A-65 or A-200 , can i import from Japan?

Thanks Czarivey

import process it's very easy , that is no custom Tax
2 days shipping with Fedex

i heard that if i plug 100V Japan model to US AC wall
the power supply will be warn all the time
and i guess the life of the Amp will decrease (not sure)

Most Accuphase products have multi tap primaries, at least the few I've had come through here, so any qualified tech should easily be able to convert it for 120V operation by reconfiguring a few jumpers. It may however be that products sold in Japan have only a 100V primary transformer installed.

I would not recommend running a 100V product on 120V, you could however buy a step-down transformer for few hundred $ that will facilitate proper operation.

Best of luck

Seems that Peter is correct regarding a step-down transformer.

those are expensive Amps
the step down will not ruin the sound?
people invest a lot of money on AC tweaks and power conditioner - i'm afraid of that

A good isolation / step-down transformer maybe even configured with balanced power output 50V - 0 - 50V would improve the sound.
It would have to be custom made but certainly do-able

Best of luck
