Voltage question

Would a component from Japan that is rated 100 volts be safe to use here on 110-120 volts, without some type of transformer or the like? TIA Mike

I once ignored the 100v only and ran a DVD player on my 120v line thinking it would be fine only 20% over volt. Sure it worked just fine... For about 2 months when it then went up in a big poof of smoke. Sure it was not major but I could not be bothered to even investigate. Lesson learned I use stepdown on both my Japanese 100v TT now. 👍👍👍 Ymmv.
