USD vs Yen who is cashing in! TechDAS


Has anyone seen pricing for Japanese HiFi gear gone down?   

The value of the US dollar has been 20-40% higher in the last 6 months than 2018-2022.  

I'd love to get a TechDAS at 40% off!

The SP10R Motor Unit only and Power Supply is a £11K purchase in the UK.

Using the Japan Recommended Retail of 1 Million Yen, and using the Yen to GBP exchange of 0.0057, the SP10R is coming in at just shy of £6K prior to added shipping and Import Taxes.

That would still leave funds for a personal choice for a very respectable Plinth, Tonearm and Cart'.

Using the above exchange rate the MSL Platinum has been found at £4K. 

If choosing this Cart', £12K would get a serious set up inclusive of Plinth and TA, it would certainly be a set up that might need another £50K spent if using other Competitors Brands models to attempt to surpass it.
