Accuphase A-65 or A-200 , can i import from Japan?

those are expensive Amps
the step down will not ruin the sound?
people invest a lot of money on AC tweaks and power conditioner - i'm afraid of that

A good isolation / step-down transformer maybe even configured with balanced power output 50V - 0 - 50V would improve the sound.
It would have to be custom made but certainly do-able

Best of luck

What kind of savings are we talking about? Half price?

With the link Lowrider provided above the A65 is listed at YP840000 which is roughly US$8300. dont know what the US retail is.

Good Listening

I can tell you. I list price here in the US is $26500. That isn't a typo. It's pretty crazy, imo. And Accuphase (someone from the factory) said to me that the transformers degrade the sound. You might want to ask them as well. You can buy from those Japanese equipment websites, but Accuphase told me that they are not authorized dealers. I'm not saying this is all correct info, this is what I've been told by the factory rep.
