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

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

i asked Axxis (US dealer of Accuphase)
they refuse

if i will ask Japan i guess they will tell me to buy from US dealer , right?

Thanks Czarivey

import process it's very easy , that is no custom Tax
2 days shipping with Fedex

i heard that if i plug 100V Japan model to US AC wall
the power supply will be warn all the time
and i guess the life of the Amp will decrease (not sure)

Peter ,
"properly designed isolation transformer"
do you have an example for one?

$26,500 it's the price for Pair or one Amp ?!
i don't get it , usually the price in the USA are the cheapest compare to the rest of the world.
