Transformer..? Moving To TheUK


Hey Guys - I'm taking the whole Kitten Kaboodle to the UK this fall. Initially, I would LOVE to find a quality step-down transformer. Eventually, I'll get each piece retrofitted with new internal power supply's... What you think..? Are there good brands out there for quiet clean power for:

 

ARC 160s

ARC Ref 6SE

DCS Rossini Apex

Rossini Clock

128x128jomonhifi

I have moved to Europe, from the USA, twice. Simply bought myself a 2 kW voltage converter/power stabilizer. Worked perfectly for me. You can use something like this:

Alternatively, just buy a 220V-110V transformer and use it with your power conditioner. See my previous post on this subject.

Warning: A lot of Krell, Martin Logan, Mark Levinson etc. equipment have a voltage/frequency sensing chip on the power input board. If it detects the correct voltage but wrong frequency it will not work. I found out the hard way when I tried to run my Krell HTS on a 220V-110V transformer; 110V/50Hz instead of 110V/60Hz.
