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

Thanks for the acupwr link.

And @erik_squires yes well I haven't purchased yet but eyeing a Luxman from Japan off eBay.. good guess! :)
@bsmg I was under impression that I need a step down because the voltage from my wall is higher than the amp spec. So it takes 120V down to 100V for amp intake? I could be wrong though. I've never used a transformer.

@millercarbon Are you sure I can operate a 100V amp in US? This overseas dealer has specifically told me it would kill the amp if I plugged it into 120V w/o transformer?
@erik_squires Thanks for the tip that is an amazing price...

Thanks all this has been informative.
