I'm interested in buying some audio gear off ebay but the buyer tells me it's only 110v compatible.
The way to get around this is to buy a transformer for it, unfortunately not having used one before, I have no idea how good and safe they are.
Can I ask if anyone here use one on a regular basis and do you have yours plugged in 24/7. Do these transformer degrade the sound quality of the equipment or am I better off with 220V version?
A quick google produced these 3 -
UK 240v to USA 110volt Step Down Transformer 100Va
UK 240v to USA 110volt Step Down Transformer 300Va
UK 240v to USA 110volt Step Down Transformer 500Va
Not understanding what 100, 300 and 500va mean, are they good enough for DAC, CDP and Amps?
Thanks
