If it’s a permanent move, get a local electrical technician to do the conversion, or Luxman Spana to assist in doing this conversion. If short term, then use a step down transformer and enjoy. Lived in Europe for 25 years and used step down transformers for my 120 volt non oscillation frequency dependent equipment. Pure analog preamps and power amps fit this description as do integrateds.
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.
