Why the lack of interest in Accuphase?

Thanks for alll the great advice, and the interesting posts.

Glassboy,

Could you point me to a web site that sells Accuphase in Japan that will ship the US. Could you also elaborate on the conversion process.

I bought a minimally used U.S. Accuphase DP-85 Cd player and it is superb. It blew away my Sony SCD-1 and Dodson DAC. Not even close in resolution , imaging, soundstaging and musicality. I bought a very good vinyl rig and had given up on CD's. They are now listenable.The new multichannel Indigo Girls SACD, played in 2 channel is excellent. I wouldn't pay list on the units for all the reasons stated above, but I love mine.

Dan 2112 if you're interested in Accuphase product but are seeking a nice discount, you don't have to buy gray goods to get a good deal. You can easily get around 20% off list price from two diffrent authorized US dealers: Audio Unlimited in Denver CO 303-691-3407, or Analog Shop in Victor NY 716-742-2860

Bob,

Acutually this was a leading question. I am the proud owner of a new A-50V which was purchased at an authorized dealer and I got a nice discount (in my opinion). However I am highly suspect of statements like those of Glassboy (no offence intended). If there exists such dealers in Japan, I would think Accuphase would cut them off very quickly for shipping to US markets. Just my 0.02 cents.
