Might be a silly question, but is there a 120/240 switch on the back of the player?
Years back I was relocated to the Netherlands and had my ARC LS15 tube pre amp converted to 220 V When I returned to the US I called ARC to convert the LS15 back to 120V ARC recommended that I buy a step up transformer as the LS15 tube pre amp would actually sound better I've been using it with a good step up transformer for years |
The service drop into US homes is typ. 220vac single phase; 2 - 110~120 vac and a common ground from the pole. There’s the ’local’ ground, a bare copper line running to an earth ground nearby. That grounds the metal cabinet, and is a ’back-up’ if sh*t gos’ south. The box inside has a ’left’ and ’right’ 110 leg, single phase, ’hot’. Otherwise, some of the shop tools I own are running on magic..... You can run your own line, but a step-up will be cheaper.... If you've only the single hot leg... You ought to rewire. Your wiring is likely 'knob and tube' if your home hasn't burnt down....yet.... Just sayin' ...and less exciting if you make a mistake... ;) |
Examples: https://www.kccscientific.com/all-products-from-kcc-scientific/ They (good ones, anyway) can get salty, depending on your device's current draw/consumption. Some cassette deck motors run on DC, after power supply conversion and would not be affected. Others: AC/synchronous. Best to check! |
Be certain your gear can function properly, at 60 Hz. Especially: the Cassette Deck’s motor. http://www.50hz60hz.com/what-happens-if-50hz-motor-is-driven-at-60hz.html Inverters/converters are available.
