From a safety point of view (damage to the amp or other equipment) the difference between 50 Hz and 60 Hz is not an issue in this situation. Whether or not they will provide the same level of audio quality is another issue. Assuming a properly designed power supply (which is turning the AC into DC regardless of Hz) I wouldn't think that'd be a problem either.
CAN I RUN 50HZ AMP ON 60HZ?
Hello all - have a question here I need a quick response on - is it Ok to run monoblocks designed for 230V/50Hz power (Asia) on 230V/60Hz?
Basically, I'm considering buying some Opera Cyber 845s from Asia and running them here in the US. I can convert voltage to 230V no problem, but it'll be 60Hz still.
I have asked 6 different people this question and 3 have told me there *could* be problems with inductance or AC ripple. Does anybody know more or less *for sure*? THANKS IN ADVANCE!
