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? Bye

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.

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.
