You have a bigger problem than what is mentioned above. You need 60Hz for US equip - in Europe it is 50Hz only. A transformer WILL NOT do this conversion unless special circuitry is added to the transformer (called a cycloconverter). So, check to see if what you have will also convert the frequency. I think you may need a product specifically made for your application. However, there is also a chance that some American equip will work with 50Hz. I would look into this very very carefully before plugging anything into the socket.
May use a step down transformer for HI-End ?
I would like your opinion about the possibility in plugging American gears (CD player, or DAC or power amp etc etc ) to the European electricity (in USA is 110V, 60 Hz while here in Italy is 220 Volts, 50 Hz cycle)
I have a step down transformer named Voltage Valet V 100 that has the following spec:
Input 220/240 Vac 50/60 Hz
Output 110/120 VAC 50/60 Hz
Use with electronic devices rated up to 100 watts maximum
Is this a mission impossible or I have high chance that the gear will work perfectly ??
Tks for your appreciated reply
