120Volts to 220Volts?


Hi Folks:
I hope to move my Arcam CD player and amplifer from the US to Singapore, but the electricity requirements are different. I guess I'm looking at three options:
To purchase transformers here or in Singapore which will allow the units to work there, or to get the internal electronics of the units changed to work at 220V, or to simply sell the gear on the used market and work from scratch in Singapore.
Which option do you think is the wisest? I'm not sure how difficult or expensive the first two are. I'd value your advice. Thanks!

I have gone thru this as well. If you are happy with the equipment, I would suggest you go for the transformer. The frequency is unimportant as it only effects synchronous motors found in (most) turntables. I know some CD transports which also have these, but, Arcam is not one of them.
