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.

The markup is insane buying from a U.S dealer the distributor actually lowered the price because of slow sales the distributor is still making 100%+ markup vs price in Japan the dealers 45% . That’s why I would only buy a converted unit from Japan 

or look else where a nice alternative the Aesthetix Mimis integrated with a 

vacuum tube preamp section which can be bought for under $8k .
