I never bought any adapter and my MD recorder is standard Japanese issue,
bought it in Tokyo.  There's never even been a hint of trouble and I've
used it all over the US.

The fact is that plenty of American outlets are so far out of spec that
they deliver anywhere in the range of voltage that marks the difference
between US and Japanese.

Don't worry, be happy.
