What power conditioners can convert 230v to 120v?

I find myself in Australia with a truckload of audio equipment designed for the US.

Frequency is generally not a problem at all, except for some TT motors of course. On the other hand my experience supports what Ngjockey has to say. However, if I were in your shoes Vamrhein, I'd sticK to Eldatford's advide as closely as I could.

Get in touch with the manufacturers or dealers back home. It will save you a lot of money and if need be hunt up a good technician "down under" to do the necessary conversion. Generally it is no big deal.

I was quite wrong, because I mainly used transformers the other, safer way around, namely using 50Hz transformers on 60hz. Only in one instance I used a transformer the other way around for about a year or so and did not run into any trouble though. Not that this would prove your warning wrong. But as Ngjockey and you point out, the situation is more comple than I naively thought.
