Accuphase A-65 or A-200 , can i import from Japan?
Dave,A properly designed isolation transformer - especially if you go balanced power out, will improve sound quality not degrade it.A crappy undersized voltage converter most certainly will.Good ListeningPeter

It can happen to all Black anodized aluminum especially if sitting in sunlight, there is not much that can be done to avoid it, other than maybe covering up the player when not in use.Good listening Peter

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 ListeningPeter 
Accuphase A-65 or A-200 , can i import from Japan?
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 luckPeter 
Accuphase A-65 or A-200 , can i import from Japan?
Most Accuphase products have multi tap primaries, at least the few I've had come through here, so any qualified tech should easily be able to convert it for 120V operation by reconfiguring a few jumpers. It may however be that products sold in Jap...

Balanced or single ended phono stage?
John, there is no reference to ground when running the Liberty B2B-1 as a differential amplifier, Each end of the coil in the cartridge is connected its own amplifiers positive input, with their negative input tied to each other. The signal is ful...

Cost no object tonearm for DL-103
The Jelco SA750D and the longer L if your table can accommodate them are fantastic with the 103. Good listeningPeter 
Balanced or single ended phono stage?
The Liberty B2B-1 can do both, for balanced you'd need two of them for a truly differential amplifier, IMO Vastly superior performance to running them Single ended, if the rest of your system is balanced.And yes I do make them, there reviews here ... 
"Biasing" a crossover- with batter power?
The voltage applied to the bias circuit should be larger than the input voltage to the crossover so 18V wold probably be a better choice, start with 9V for simplicity, if you hear an improvement with 18V then use 18V, for most normal listening lev... 
"Biasing" a crossover- with batter power?
For an example ; Your capacitors in your tweeter section of the crossover calls for a 4 uf capacitor followed by a 8 uf capacitor, between them theres a .3mH inductor to ground.You would replace the 4 uf Capacitor with two 8 uf capacitors wired in... 
Please help me change the look of my speakers
If you take them to a cabinet shop that have experience with speakers they should be able to re-finish them, however if done correctly it will not be cheap. Macassar Ebony is about the most expensive veneer you can buy, that combined with the roun... 
THE GREAT AC OUTLET SHOOTOUT.
Yep Geoff your right, the darn thing is still leaning against the wall just waiting to be completed. The San Diego audio group is slated for a visit in December again this year, maybe we should get it done at this event :-)Good ListeningPeter
