Accuphase E380 or E4000 integrated amp important from Japan

Hello I wanted to inquire as to any of the Audiophiles that has purchased one of these integrated amps , I spoke with one person who seemed very pleased, he said they just switched the transformer windings to 120 v vs 100 v Japan .on EBay the sellers have excellent feedback  please share any experiences within the last 2-3 years . Accuphase makes a very high quality product  and these 2 modes are current.Thanks much.

I think that might have been me. If it is the dealer that will switch the voltage to 120V you need not have any worry. My amp came brand new( not one finger smudge) and shipped in 4 boxes. I took the top off and there is no sign of any modifications at all. The change is done at the factory. Any concern I had was immediately addressed to allay any fears. The amp will be factory-fresh. I have never seen A better-built amp.

Thank you , I just wanted to see how many others besides my friend 

the patented  volume control alone is sheer precision .

the U.S dealers want $13,500 for the E4000

i can get one for $6k as a dealer demo ,factory converted 

its very nice sounding andthe E4000 replaced the E480

The only  downside is no U.S warranty.

that being said  Accuphase is in the top 5% for reliability

from others around the world. I  may get one after the holidays.
