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!

Thanks for the replies.

Found a really small step down transformer.

My friend is bringing me a nice used NP-S2000 that he found on the Tokyo equivalent of "craigslist"

This unit is not available in silver in the USA.

I have the A-S2000/CD-S2000 in silver.
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.
"No need to use one, as it always hampers the performance."

Everytime I see an ad for Japanese gear for sale in the US, the ad always states something like "Just use a step down transformer. Does not hamper performance and can be found cheap on ebay."

Elberoth, do you have much experience in this? I'm asking as I was looking at some Accuphase & Luxman integrated amps. Many thanks.
