[QUOTE="JamesB, post: 834258, member: 20408"] Well I guess it will depend as well on the quality of the circuity of the external transformer that you are using. I may be wrong but most electronic equipment do have a built in transformer that steps down the line voltage to a lower voltage used by the internal components. As far as sound quality goes, I've listened to systems with mixed 220 and 100 v equipment and sounded fine to me, though we weren't using individual transformers for each component then as our house was wired to have both 220 v and 100 v sockets (don't ask me how it was done though as it was there when I was born ;D) Just to add... you should also be looking at the frequency (50 Hz, 60 Hz, 50/60Hz) when buying equipment abroad as these are more expensive to cater if I am not mistaken.
