Sansui AC with 100 volt ... Plug into 120 volt outlet ?


I have a Sansui Integrated Amp (Model AU 607 Alpha MR)
It was made in Japan for Japanese market only ...100 volt AC ....
My Question:
Can I plug this Amp into a 120 volt outlet...
or do I need a step up transformer to do this safely.
My Tech stated that a step up transformer is not necessary.
Thank you

No, and you need a step down transformer.
Agreed, absolutely. Note to OP: You'll notice the plug on your Sansui is different from the type of plug used for AC in the US. There's a reason for that.
A simple convertor, 120v down to 100v, decent quality, nothing big or special.

Locate it so you can remember it is there so you don't forget in the future, but like any transformer, a spot with no hum.
