Hi, I have a technical question, hopefully someone can enlighten me.... I am from USA, which uses 120V 60Hz power sources. If I buy an AV or an amplifier from Japan, which uses 100V 50Hz, and import to the US:
1. WITHOUT THE POWER CONVERTER (Step up/down..etc..), will the Japanese's unit (which uses 100V-50Hz) be working properly?
2. Assumed it works, will the differences in the electrical current affect/change the sound quality, performance of the receiver/amp?
3. Will the different in electrical current affect the longevity of the unit?
4. Can I buy the power supply from the US version unit, and replace the japanse's power supply.... will that fix all the issues? or will there be more to it (tuning inside the circuitry...etc). I am aware the radio frequencies will be different, but I am not using the radio. Thanks
