220 to 110 coversion - mistake?


I have got this incredible price on a CD player and wondered if anyone had used a transformer to step down the voltage from 220 to 110 - and what were the sonic ramifications?

As Herman says, many products have wiring provisions so that they are easily reconfigured for different line voltages. Sometimes it is as easy as a switch. Also I am seeing more and more electronic equipment with low power draw (like a CDP) that will operate on any voltage within a wide range. The Behringer DEQ2496, for example, takes 85 to 250 volts, 50 or 60 Hz.
