Frequency converter question ?
|
|
|
| Hello,
Can someone please advise as to the best company one would buy a
frequency - voltage converter to run my USA audio gear in Europe ? I've
heard of Major Power, Falcon among others but I need to deal with a
reliable company which makes a good product. I do have a budget of
about $500. I'm pretty sure the gear I have (all DC), more importantly
the large internal power supplies, can withstand the slight amount of
heat buildup when using on 50 hz and just using a step down voltage
transformer but IDEALLY I'd like to change hz as well. Any inexpensive
but good frequency converters that you may recommend ? Thank you.

Hello,
you should take a look into the specs of each unit, do they really need
60 Hz, or do they accept 50 and 60 Hz?

I agree. Much of the motivation appears to be Hi Fi nuttiness.

will work fine on 50hz with the right voltage, only trouble 'could' be
record decks & cassette players.
btw, would be a step up transformer you would need, not a step down.
