If you were to look for vintage Luxman I remember reading somewhere at some point they did outsource some manufacturing to China, but then discontinued that practice. You are fortunate to have access to their and Accuphase's new products at Japanese prices. Some importers will sell you Accuphase or Luxman products in the U.S. at Japanese prices but the company voids the warranty on these gray market items. If I remember correctly Accuphase will only honor warranties on products they do the voltage changes on themselves. Good to remember if you move to the states.
