Japanese Luxman Integrated Amps

I’ve been seeing a slew of Luxman integrated amps primarily shipping from Japan, but one recently, domestically. I was told that you just need a 120-110v power converter and you’re good to go. Another poster spoke of Japanese-version software. Does anyone have any experience with these?

I used a step up trannie for my Luxman CD D06u without loss of anything...it was simply perfect. I sold them both as a package and the buyer loves them too...

I’ve bought 2 from Japan: 505, 550.

buy a quality converter. I sold the 505 within a day of posting. Luxman America will not service Japanese products. George Meyer in LA, California will though.

a new 550 axII cost $6500 + tax compared to ~$35-3800 Japanese + import fees.

beautiful amps. 
be aware of service issues and know your options.
