Step Up Transformer 100v

I saw on another thread that Sanyo and Nissyo step up transformers had been suggested for use in Japan. I wondered if anyone could say a lttle more? Does a step up transformer affect SQ? Are there any other units or solutions for 115v to 100v people would recommend? Thanks very much!

The EHU600 is limited to 600W. Find the maximum draw of what you want to plug into that and double it. 600W is small for an amp. unless it's a flea watt.

I think BigShutterBug is referring to these:

And this is an enclosure that can fit up to the 2KVA model.

OK, thank you for the links. My amp - NaimUniti - is only rated at 50w. This could change in the near future to 80w. But I think the EHU600 is suitable for these ratings? Thanks!

Max power consumption for that Naim is rated as 350W but, being class B, it'll want that faster than you can say ,"Now!", to recharge capacitors.

Someone at Naim told me I'd need a 500v step up transformer, so I thought I'd be OK with the EHU600. Am I wrong, however?
Thanks!
