Japanese Imports

I’m thinking of buying a Japanese import cd player, but it will of course need a transformer to run on 240V. Would this have any impact on sound?

Possibly, depending on the quality of said transformer.
I'd be more worried about warranty and possible return if faulty.
See thread regarding Japanese Voltage but admittedly that was regarding an amplifier

Vintage Technics CD player (SL-P770) can be had cheaper than the UK model

Not if the transformer itself was audibly quiet.
