Step up transformer


Looking for opinions on using a step up transformer for an amplifier I am considering buying, it is 230V(I live in the US)and am wondering if using a transformer will degrade the sound at all? Thanks

How big is the amp? In my experience, you will need a step up with at least 50% higher power rating than the amp's max power consumption to avoid degradation. In other words, if you amp consumes 500W at max output, you will need a 750W or higher step up.

Also, make sure you buy high quality. A lower quality transformer, even at the same power rating, will generate more heat. More heat means more power loss which translates into more voltage drop as power demand increases.
