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

to the US

prices there are much better.

the AC there is 100V
there is a way to use it here?
if i will ask Accuphase US dealer to make the AMP 110V
(and pay for the conversion) , is it possible?

any info about the import procces will be appreciate
thanks

Seems that Peter is correct regarding a step-down transformer.

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?
