step up 220 voltage converter for Line Magnetic amp

I have an oppurtunity to purchased a used Line Magnetic  845 integrated amp. In my research I found that the voltage is 220v only and no provision for 110v, which i have in my  home.
Short of installing a 220v line, has anyone used a LM amp with  a step up converter,and if so what kind and results using it.

thanks

Better still, what I would do, Raven integrated. Why anyone still buys anything from China is beyond me at this point.

Does Raven Audio has any 845 integrated? and what made you think that OP is buying the used Line Magnetic 845 integrated amp from China?

His point, for whatever it is worth, is that it is made in China

Seems like he had bad experience with audio gears that made in China

A little late here but I use a step up transformer for my LM-219ia. If the transformer is too close to the amp there is a noticeable hum from the speakers when no music is playing but it goes away if the transformer is moved farther away. Having said that, I am looking to convert the amp to 120 just so I don’t have to worry about the transformer anymore.
