All Japanese system

Hey all, I was wondering, just for fun, if anyone could take a shot at "designing" an all Japanese system (including, amp, preamp, CD, turntable, cartridge, speakers, interconnects) at the price point of $7000 used. I have a friend who is interested, and I'm sort of out of my element here. He is looking for that "characteristic Japanese sound" ;)

Take care,
-Marc

213cobra -

I'm curious about the CDP, which I would use as a transport primarily. Have you heard this player? Price is right but by the time shipping and duties are applied it could be just as easy to snag a CEC transport.
