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.

I don't care from which country the cart that I am looking
for is posted. My own listings are always worldwide. I am
cheated 'only' twice by sellers from Germany. They don't
like paypal ( fees?) so one need to pay via bank-transfer.
But there is no protection by bank-transfer. Many Germans
however limit their shipping to Germany believing that
only the Germans are trustworthy. Those are prejudices
based on assumptions or some bad experience with some
sellers from some countries. Well in 'contradiction' to
my own experience the most items I have bought in Germany.
The same prejudice I see regular by the British and American
sellers on ebay. Are all Americans with God knows which origin
trustworhty and all other 'countries' untrustworthy?
I've used 2juki (ebay) for a new cartridge. Very happy with my purchase. He offered a week or two return option then, but not sure if he still does now.
Raul, my pleasure, I have purchased both from Audiocubes2 and from JICO directly. I have a friend that also had good luck with EIFL.
Have bought from 2Juki several times- have never been disappointed.

Good Listening
