Hi, I used one on a Chinese amp with no apparent issues. No way to do an A/B comparison, so I cannot say if the sound was degraded. Probably not.
Step Down transformer W/Asian/Euro Integrated amps
I am looking to purchase an integrated amp from Asia or Europe that only comes in 220 volt (I live in North America). Is anybody out there using a step down transformer with a 220 volt integated or amp? I have heard that this is commonly done with cd players. I am not sure if it will work with an amp. Will it degrade the sound? Any advice would be helpful.
