It would be better to change it to operate off the higher voltage. Most can be changed easily, but not sure about your Luxman, check it out.
Taking a 110v Luxman Integrated to Europe
I have a fairly new Luxman 590AXII integrated amp that was purchased (and fully paid for) and meant to be my last piece of stereo equipment as I enter retirement.
I'm considering a move from the US to Spain and uncertain about taking this and converting the power from 110 to 220:
- is it possible to provide clean enough power to this amp using a step-down transformer?
- if I can't take it, is it likely I'll be able to purchase a similar (if not the same) amp over there without having it cost me significantly more?
Thanks for any thoughts.
