I am interested in Accuphase products but the pricing seems to be out of line. Is there a reason that you buy the equipment for a "reasonable" price in Japan, but in the USA it is double or more? I don't get it.
With amps and other large heavy items coming from Japan, I can 'somewhat' understand the posts above explaining the pricing variations. Now let's talk about Japanese cartridges...hmmm.
One thing about Accuphase. Unless something has changed the US importer opposes any selling out of territory. I doubt that a dealer in Boston can sell a unit to NYC customer. Maybe a current or prior Accuphase customer would be treated as an exception. Why buy out of your region? I personally have bought non Accuphase gear from all over the US because of dealer relationships and the fact that my location is void of ANY dealers of anything. FWIW
For Accuphase consider AliExpress, lots of clones floating around. Also Pass, Krell, Naim, darTZeel, FM Acoustics. Some older ARs. Mark Levinson. You can get a A65 clone, for example, for peanuts.
