I have been moving back and forth from Europe to Canada for several years, hence I have had several equipment "on transformers" or I have been changing the taps on the transformers, where it was possible. My advice? I have not found any degradation on sound, unless you use some small/wimpy transformer. Always go for say 500W step down/up device for 55W CD player, etc. More effect will have a good power cord!!!
Do step up transformers degrade sound?
Recently purchased otl amps that unbenounced to me are 220 (We in the U.S. are 110 I believe). The price was very good, so I'm reluctant to return them just yet. How much is a good step up transformer and do they effect the sound? Any input would be most appreciated.
