Change the plugs or use a converter ?

I have got 2 PC Shunyata Taipan with US plugs when I live in Switzerland.
I am wondering what is the best solution :
change the plug or use a converter ?

I am wondering if a converter is a way to lose efficiency, quality, as it's add another device.

But if I ask the question, it's because Shunyata says that its Venom connectors "ensure superior contact integrity, lower junction impedance and the long-term performance reliability of PowerSnakes products".
"Shunyata Research is the sole power-line company that treats the contacts of its power cords with an expensive three phase co-plating process".

Thanks for the insights.

Using a converter is not a good idea. If you use an extension bar then I would get one with US style sockets and just get a Swiss plug compatible cord for the extension bar. Then you can use all US power cords for your system without extra converters. This way you don't introduce any extra converters and you don't have to change plugs either.

I do this myself, using Isoclean extension bars, which I plug into the wall with a high quality German cord and then I use all US cords from there to my gear.
