step up transformer on cd player


hi all, i have a chance to grab a california audio labs icon mkII not powerboss for $100. however it is a 220v unit. i have no experience with step up transoformers.

the local electronic supply store has a cheap step up transformer for $25. it is rated 40w-50w. this should be enough to run the cd player as i think the back of the cd player says 14watts.

my question is can anyone tell me if the step up transformer will affect the sound quality? also, will i be able to plug the step up transformer into the back of my ps audio power plant premier without any problems?

thanks for your help

thanks everyone,

prcinka, could you elaborate on the 10x as much as the source but not overdue it. lets say the cd player is 20w. 200w is good but what would you say is too high?.

what is it damaging if you go to high?
