Moving to France


We are planning a move to France fairly soon. Does anyone know the best way to cleanly transform the 240v european voltage down to 117 without a bunch of hum?

You have all you need, and then some.  All that's left to say is 'Enjoy!'

tony1954, it would be better if I acted like I was from Montreal, right?
Unfortunately, I'd be from the English-speaking 'side of the tracks', so DOA. *G*
Born 'n bred in SoCal, which is my main excuse. *mock sigh*
Always have had a fascination for 'regional dialects', sayings, pronunciations, etc.
Was informed that CA/SoCal natives DO have a dialect of sorts...

We all sound like we're on or from TV; guess that's what happens when you're raised around them...'vid-speak'...tvtalk....

"...and Now a word (or 1K) from our denouncer...." ;)
"Hi, I'm Darnold Chump, conspiritor of Darnolds' Damaged Democracy...."

...stuff like that....

Hi,

NYer living in Croatia here. Just about to ship my full AR system, Basis TT, Raidho C1s etc and found this online. I have no personal experience with so I can’t vouch, but I’m seriously considering it as it address both the V and Hz issues and can be dialed in, ie 230-220v/50Hz > 110-115/60 or the other way or 110-115/60Hz> 220-230/50Hz etc. Good feature if you get and 220 gear in the EU and want to bring it back to the 110 zone. Hope this is helpful.

Good luck with your gear and journey,

Hi there
Welcome to France ! :-)
You can easily find step down transformers... that’s what people do when they don’t want to tweak their equipments. The recommandation is to take a transformer with 2x the needed power of your equipment.

A well know hifi tranformer brand (reasonably priced), made in Germany (they have various power available):
