Can US 220v be used to power foreign 220v pieces?


I googled the above with no sufficient answer for audiophilic equipment. Anyone here with experience using a domestic 220v line to power an overseas sourced 220v piece? If so were the results sonically successful ( no humming, etc) and were there any equipment malfunctions?

Thanks all. In summary sounds doable but with significant caveats as Jea48 so thoroughly outlined. Those who have run US220/240v into foreign sourced components did any noise, circuit damage, or safety issues arise that were felt to be related to foregoing conversion to 110v? Further if one decides to convert a 220 component to 110 are there sonic penalties to be expected?
