120v to 240v Adapter to power Amp in USA
Not only that everything on that circuit would then be 240 and everything on that circuit would need to be upgraded and possibly switched to a different circuit for instance if there are any light fixtures. Easiest thing if possible would be to ru... 
120v to 240v Adapter to power Amp in USA
You can't just put a double pole 20 amp breaker in the panel box and get a plug adapter. You will have to make sure the wire running to your receptacle is at least 12AWG as well as all receptacles and switches on that curcuit per code.

Integrated amp + DAC + room correction all-in-one for Nola Boxer 1 + REL R328 sub
My goal is to get a dedicated streamer server like a Sony HAP 1zes or maybe an Auralic Altair with a hard drive. Seems like it would be easier to use. The Sony and Auralic have wifi
