Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue

How to use 100 volt Japanese audio on 110 US ?
it will work, but you don't want to do that. Why? you'll end up frying your equipment sooner or later. it is just a matter of time. I have a lot of equipment that runs in 100V so I ended up buying step down transformers to feed my audio equipment ...
