Step down transformers detrimental to SQ?


Hello, does anyone know if step down (or up) transformers have adverse effects on sound quality? I'm looking to pickup a 100V amp and use a step down here in US. 

Thanks

not sure about effect on SQ but would assume no problem unless in too close proximity to other transformer.......and would you not need a step UP transformer here with a 100V amplfier?
@bsmg I was under impression that I need a step down because the voltage from my wall is higher than the amp spec.

Sorry; you’re correct. I misunderstood what you were asking.

Don’t know where millercarbon is but my power conditioner shows a digital voltage readout when it’s on and I’ve never seen it drop below 121V and most of the time it reads 123V,,,,,,in northeast TN hard by the VA border.

And you're lucky with that 220V stuff......I once plugged in a 110V blow dryer in Manila; it ran real fast for about 2 seconds and died.
