Buying A Cartridge Direct From Japan


Seems like there can be some decent savings when buying certain cartridges directly from Japan, vs buying from here in the US. Since I'm just learning about cartridges, would there be any kind of difference between a Japan model and a US model, maybe electrically or something, that would prevent using a Japan model here in the US? I would think they would be exactly the same, but I want to be sure before I maybe do anything. Thanks.

I've received two from 2juki and he is a very professional plus trustworthy person. Would purchase from again. Listening to my RP6 with GT ref sub platter and the AT 33PTG/II and could not be happier with the combo.
2juki's inventory seems to be down some for Audio Technica (or maybe just the AT-33PTG//II. What other ebay sellers are good for Japanese / Honk Kong purchases?
