Will Japan market gear work on US current?


Hello,
I have a friend in Tokyo whom has found an incredible deal on a Yamaha NP-S2000 network player and has agreed to bring back for me if it will work with USA current.

Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks!

Japan is 100V AC. Most gear has universal voltage transformers though, which can be rewired for 120V operation. Sometimes there is even a switch to make the task easier.
I use one for my Accuphase units.

Accuphase is using multivoltage transformers (100/120/230V). No need to use one, as it always hampers the performance.
