Using a 220v piece in the US


I am thinking of buying a Phono step up device which runs at 220v. (Germany) I believe it is requires somewhat low power. I believe that there are voltage converters that I can buy. Will there be any sonic drawbacks from going this route?

Other option is to use this German gear on USA 240 Volt 60 HZ. Most homes are already wired for this to supply the clothes dryer, oven and other heavy use appliances.

There are threads covering this exact subject, you might do a search. Obviously the comment from Glen above is correct, you can either convert to 120 volt or following my suggestion, verify that 240 60 HZ USA will not harm the circuit.
