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

Since the step up draws 110 from the PPP I don't see why it shouldn't work; I have a PPP myself. The only way to tell if the transformer effects sound quality would be to play it direct from 220 and then through the transformer from 110. I would think that if the stepup was decent quality you would have no problems but ?
