Buying A Cartridge Direct From Japan

Seems like there can be some decent savings when buying certain cartridges directly from Japan, vs buying from here in the US. Since I'm just learning about cartridges, would there be any kind of difference between a Japan model and a US model, maybe electrically or something, that would prevent using a Japan model here in the US? I would think they would be exactly the same, but I want to be sure before I maybe do anything. Thanks.

2juki's inventory seems to be down some for Audio Technica (or maybe just the AT-33PTG//II. What other ebay sellers are good for Japanese / Honk Kong purchases?

Be careful buying used from Hong Kong. For some reason, the salt air seems particularly corrosive there.

Price Japan will buy you any audio equipment you want in Japan for a 5% fee. You can send them the direct link or have them find the best price for you. English communication is very good and quick. They take PayPal. I've used this a couple times with perfect results.
