I haven't heard a convertor that doesn't degrade the sound. Many components can be readily changed between 110 and 220V. Have a look inside the box, sometimes it is simply about throwing a switch. If not, check to see if the primary side of the power transformer is two windings wired in series - reconnecting them in parallel will convert it to 110v, or get a tech to do it for you.
