I moved from the States to Paris 18 months ago, and was faced with the same problem (110V gear running on 220V). Fortunately some of my equipment (Quad and Revox) is multi-voltage, no problem there. The rest is 110V equipment, Including two 200W/channel power amps. I simply purchased a 2kW 220V/110V line stabilizer transformer. You can purchase the equipment from www.eastwestintl.com or www.appliancesoverseas.com.. The other thing to remember is, HiFi equipment in Europe, especially high end gear, is a lot more expensive then in the USA. Bottom line, bring your equipment with you and use a voltage stabilizer step down transformer to run it.
May use a step down transformer for HI-End ?
I would like your opinion about the possibility in plugging American gears (CD player, or DAC or power amp etc etc ) to the European electricity (in USA is 110V, 60 Hz while here in Italy is 220 Volts, 50 Hz cycle)
I have a step down transformer named Voltage Valet V 100 that has the following spec:
Input 220/240 Vac 50/60 Hz
Output 110/120 VAC 50/60 Hz
Use with electronic devices rated up to 100 watts maximum
Is this a mission impossible or I have high chance that the gear will work perfectly ??
Tks for your appreciated reply
