What country are you moving to? Most of the rest of the world is 220v/50Hz. Running a 60Hz transformer at 50Hz may run a little warmer, as there is less reactance - therefore more current in the primary. But if your components are voltage-switchable (or you get the transformers changed) this wouldn't matter. Probably can disregard the 50/60hz thing anyway. (except on some turntables which require the proper frequency for the motor).
Might operating a 50Hz unit at 60Hz affect sound?
I live in the US and will be moving overseas soon, where the power is 220V/60Hz, hence I need to solve this.
I could have my cdp, pre, amp switched to 220V. This is easily done. However these are 50Hz units, to be operated at 60Hz. Anybody knows if I'm likely to hear any difference? I guess it's all direct current inside the units...
Can a power regenerator take 220V/60Hz and deliver 110V/50Hz? Might be another option.
Thanks in advance!
