I once brought over my Harmon-Kardon equipment from the US (60 Hz) to Finland (50 Hz) and had no problems once I used a step down transformer. The difference between the frequencies is most important for equipment with synchronous motors, such as in some turntables, etc. But you should obviously check with the manufacturer for more subtle issues.
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!
