Run with 240volt here in Thailand or use Step down transformer?


That’s the question. I’m currently retired in Thailand. What are the thoughts on running 240/50hz as opposed to 110/60hz? I have know idea. I’m ready to build a new system here.

Depends on the gear and what you find.  Amplifiers that natively do 240V/50Hz will perform a little better without a step down transformer.

All your other gear will perform great except, as noted above, turntables which rely on incoming AC frequency (Hz) to run.
