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.

if your using digital and-or a turntable you may want to see if its compatible with the 50hz supply, most amps and preamp are fine with either.

other than that, do not plug a 115-volt component into a 220v supply without a step-down transformer unless it has switchable voltage settings. plug types usually make this imposable but there are cheater plugs out there.
