Accuphase E-470

Hi I am looking at a Accuphase e-470 for sale ,but it is a Japanese model so will need a transformer to power it to our AC, is there any problem with using a transformer.Any opinions on the amp would be helpful. I am using a Prima Luna Hp integrated amp with KT 150 tubes,& Focal 1028 BE speakers, I find that at lower volume it does not have much punch. I have to turn it up to sound good, I am thinking a good SS amp give me more at lower volume, Any other suggestions on integrated amps new or used under 5k ? Thanks Lloyd.

I would not buy with incorrect voltage. As jjss49 said above, you may be asking for problems.

That is before remembering that audiophilia is full of arguments about cable direction, fuse color, and similar details and that you are about to add another transformer of whatever quality.
