bought a luxman cd player from japan, everything worked out well, good deal, timely shipping, etc. the 120 V converter was about $125 and works well but is large, heavy has a wimpy power cord for a 500 watt device.
one very big issue is getting the player serviced. luxman north america will not touch a 100 volt product- so service must go all the way back to japan.
i would do it again because the player sounds excellent.
