You don't need one for your laptop or iPad, they're universal voltage. When I moved from the US to Europe I sent my equipment I wanted to keep to the manufacturer to convert it to 240 volts and sold what i didn't. I don't know if sound quality will be different from one to the next but make sure you have enough power. You want a step down that's 2-3 times what the device is rated. I brought a treadmill with me that needed a 3000 watt hospital grade transformer while the Nintendo Wii I brought needed some tiny little thing. If you're going to be there for a while I would get things converted. If you ever want to sell something there rather than in US you'll be happy you did.
Step Up/Down Transformers - what to look for & where?
I’m planning to move overseas this summer where the voltage is 230V / 50 Hz. My Ariston TT, Cambridge Audio CD player & Nakamichi tape deck all convert to 230v/50 Hz but I want to get the best or a very good step up transformer that I can find for a chip amp, preamp, tuner, and streamer. I know nothing about it. What should I be looking for and what should I budget for a couple good ones? Will also need one for my laptop & iPad too? What are your favorite brands and can I find them on Amazon or elsewhere?
