Step Down Transformer


I just got a TT from the UK that is 220 and I need to get a SDT. Any thoughts on the better ones to buy or can the TT be converted over. The UK seller said they could convert it but had no way to test the TT to see if the work was a
success.

If your problem is the other way around (taking a table that works here to use in England), you can buy a VPI SDS which will take any voltage and output 110V 60Hz.

I am moving to Singapore for a 2 year assignment, talked to VPI and they advised me my VPI Super Scoutmaster would work just fine.
Check on ebay for a voltage converter. They are relatively cheap for the lower wattage appliances.... a rega TT uses about 5 watts....You can find both US to UK and vise versa types...
Hi Gary,

I don´t know Voyd turntables, just that the company was bought by Audio Note, so I guess that Peter Q knows it better than me ... BUT:

I have read in their webpage that AN tables have AC-synchronous motors.
These AC motors vary their speed with voltage frecuency.
In UK frecuency is 50 hz, in USA 60 hz.

So if your table has a UK motor, you CAN NOT use it in USA.

A SDT will only change voltage, but not frecuency.
If you want to change frecuency you´d need a frecuency converter, which are (I think) much more expensive than a motor, and I don´t know if they work so fine as to be used in a turntable.

I think that the voyd has 3 motors and, if it´s not in production today, it would be a problem to get them, so you´d have to get another brand.

Sure there are more expert people than me.
Dear Gary: I have my Micro Seiki " running " with a Radio Shack SDT from the last five years. It works with out any failure or compliant.

regards and enjoy the music.
