TRANSFORMER FOR JAPANESE DOMESTIC EQUIPMENT


After residing in Japan for a number of years, we have a nice system of higher end Japanese domestic gear.  If we decide to ship the audio equipment to the US, is there a loss of sound quality associated with running this Japanese equipment on a 120V to 100V step down transformer?

Thanks.

 " ... here is what I know ...  if your home has 120v lines and your equipment are 230v the trans then needs to juice up the currents to feed your equipment, so if there are any issues with degradation of sound quality  it would be in this case where the currents from the transformer won't be of sufficient quality or quantity for your equipment..."

Sorry, you're mistaken. While the step-up transfer increases the voltage, it does not increase the current. The current, measured in amperes, remains the same.
This site has a bunch of converters.  One of these combine with a good quality line conditioner (like a Richard Grey 400/600) might be a good solution.  Hope this helps....
