[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 834883, member: 144"] Judy, Then to sum up: There is no sonic disadvantage in using step-up/step-down transformers. Any disadvantage is because of cheapskate manufacture, including wrong internal wiring, mechanical hum (core laminations vibrating) and such. If uncertain of the wiring (and you do not know what the correct way is), I'm sure you can convince someone to check. As I see it, erroneous connections can be rectified - as can a (mechanically) humming transformer. That might be easy or difficult. One has to get to the core and work out which lamination(s) is loose, tighten up screws or get some self-setting stuf inside. [i](Yea - this should not be so!![/i] - welcome to the modern world of sloppy workmanship in order to save a penny or two.) Certainly then to avoid el-cheapies, or waste money on boutique models.
