so i finally manned up and bought one second hand on ebay
upon looking around and researching this device i found out some interesting stuff i have questions about
1) does the unit # matter? i notice that on amazon and ebay people post the unit number alot
2) where can i find a USA AC adapter for this? i read that it comes with a japanese outlet ac adapter
3) is there anywhere else besides solaris that i can find a component to d-terminal adapter? (cannot find any results on amazon or ebay)
few questions about the xrgb mini

2. http://www.amazon.com/VM1898-Universal- ... 000NNFECS/ - You can technically use the included adapter with US outlets, I use it in my experience with no problems. Up to you.
3. It's a Japanese standard, you're not going to find it easily on Amazon or Ebay. Solaris would be your best bet. Alternatively, you could just a basic D-Terminal cable and get RCA female to female connectors. That could work I would think.
Edit: Realized the one I linked was for another device I use and doesn't have the amps necessary for the XRGB mini. Link updated with the right one.

New Framemeisters coming from Solaris come with an Adapter rated for 100-240V, so you can use them worldwide.KabuTheFox wrote:1) thankseightbitminiboss wrote:1.

It's no big deal to just order the adapter from Solaris. That's where I got mine.KabuTheFox wrote:

You may or may not get the 100-240V AC adapter Grimakis mentioned because you bought it used. That adapter is packed into newer units.KabuTheFox wrote: what ? lol

Re: few questions about the xrgb mini
you dont need an international plug. japan use the same 2 prong plug the USA uses. It is the plug without the extra ground prong.KabuTheFox wrote:oh gotcha, if thats the case ill just run down to walmart and pick up an international plug thingeightbitminiboss wrote:You may or may not get the 100-240V AC adapter Grimakis mentioned because you bought it used.

Re: few questions about the xrgb mini
At least confirm what AC adapter it came with so you know what you need rather than wasting money.
