I don't own the BHSE, KGSSHv, nor Schiit. I can however throw a whole bunch of KGSSHv parts at you and hopefully you can make something outta it

ER-Jiji you might want to try talking to Justin from HeadAmp I have seen reports of new BHSE turning up at dealers from time to time in all areas of globe. He might have a place for you to source one locally. If not IDK what shipping would run you.

Birgir/Spritzer(mjolnir-audio) has very reasonable shipping rates to the USA. I am sure Japan would be more, but his shipping cost was about 1/3 what I thought it would be..

Edit::

There is also a builder in China that sells through yoyocart. I am not sure he is on this forum but he is active on he other one. I have no idea about the quality of his builds though.

Hello guys, sorry for bothering.

Is there any Stax owner live in Japan here? I like to know what amp you using and where to get it.
Since I don't think I can buy BHSE, KGSShv, Schiit here in Japan.

Thanks in advance =3=b

I live in Tokyo and purchased 009s and 007tA earlier this year through a third party dealer on amazon and had no problems. My advice would be to buy a KG amp direct from Mjolnir Audio. On placing my order with Spritzer I had the amp within a week and the transaction was faultless. As others have stated if you have Stax 007s or 9s go straight for a KG design.

@AnakChan , Thanks, but unfortunately I can't build it my self XD
Last time I build electronic part is 20 years ago for school test and I failed miserabely, thankfully I still passed the class.

@SeaWo|f , Thanks, I will try to contact him.
The thing I'm worried from buying from oversea is the import tax, I don't know here in Jaoan but tax in my country kind an overkill.

@aldavey , do you buy KGSSHV from oversea? Did the tax expensive?

Thanks Guys XD

Yes I bought as previously mentioned from Birgir/Spritzer who is based in Iceland. Check out his site, Mojolnir audio. As I recall the shipping on my Carbon was about Yen 14,000 and I paid about Yen10,000 on import.

Sprizer of Mojolnir audio is very kind person when i e-mailed him, you can trust him.

@aldavey , that waay more cheaper than I expected. There is really something wrong with my country tax orz
Oh, well that mean my choice not longer limited to local market.

@Pokemonn

I'm pretty sure when I checked Japanese import tariffs online, electrical goos were zero percent, but please check as it was back in April and my memory could be playing tricks. The goods were delivered by DHL and I still do not understand what the charges I paid were for.

You could also check the 'For Sale' section. It appears Arnaud's BHSE is still for sale - https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fs-headamp-bhse-with-rk50-option.861649/

In Japan, they currently charge you 5% sales tax on the cost of goods + shipping. No import tax.

I spend few months of the year in Japan and places I look frequently are Yahoo auction and there are also a number of free-market sites that are becoming popular where a nice find can turn up. But then, thanks to JimL, I spend more time on the other site and Japanese builder blogs trying to build my own

 

[ER-Jiji]

@aldavey
I already check it yesterday, April tariff is free just like you said but I though it was a mistake =w=a

@Golfnutz
Thanks for the notice, I'll put that on the list.

@Ojisan
No import tax... I love that word.
I forget there a yahoo action site, ussualy I only use rakuten or kakaku. But the I still hsve hard time to navigate it.

Well that would make sense for the import charges I paid. DHL also added a small fee, but can't remember exactly what, but it was minimal. I just remember, given the value of the Carbon, being amazed at the low import costs into Tokyo.

@ER-Jiji he can build Japanese AC100V main power input version. please ask him about it.

 

[ER-Jiji]

I will, but not for now.
Next week I will go to Fujiya Autumn Festival to test the unit, so maybe after that.
