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

1. you will be OK with 110V.
2. your warranty will void, but there are lots of independed techs able to service Accuphase that is not so complicated.
3. don't ask Accuphase dealer about anything done on unit purchased outside of US. they won't honor your request.
4. i know nothing about the import process, but if you will experience one, please share.

It's roughly 2x savings, but I heard even better figures closer to 3x and there's a room to do more shopping.
Definitely worth even if US warranty is void. If you consider that $7...8k spent by average Japanese consumer is somewhat equivalent to spending $1k by avarage US consumer, than Accuphase equipment is at substantially higher affordability level than in US and must be pretty popular and available at multiple vendors and locations.

Dave, the list price of $26k is often discounted to $15k, but that doesn't mean that the unit is actually worth only $8,000 or even lower. If the list price were $50k, the discount would be even higher and more attractive:-)
