musichobby Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hi All, I'm looking for step down transformer for my Japan voltage hifi equipment.. 100 Volt. I try to ask my best friend, Mr Google but can't really find the one for HiFi equipment.. Hence I'm posting here to see if any bro have experience and recommendations for the step down transformer from Singapore local voltage to 100 Volt. It will be used to supply the power for integrated amp and cd player.. Preferably 1000 - 1500 watt Thanks in advance for any kind bro for their sharing..

Dedii Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Depending on your budget. Here's a super brand option, $1.5k. If you're comfortable with Taobao, I am quite sure you can find similar quality ones at less than half of what Plixir is asking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcking1624705747 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 For normal household step down trans, the closest match is here : https://powerpac.com.sg/collections/ac-dc-adapter But for audio specific ones, I think you may need to customise a specific ones which are able to step down 230-240Vac to 100Vac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simic Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Japan uses 100v, while the common step down transformers are more geared towards US 120V. Depending on your gear, the stepped down voltage might be too high for it. Check out this guy, he seems to be selling transformers for japan equipment. https://www.carousell.sg/p/fixed-price-collect-only-at-460405-various-model-step-down-transformer-singapore-to-japan-100v-for-japanese-appliance-kashimura-tts-20-tts-18-ti-200-nissyo-mf-1500-ex-1031803595/?t-id=5155447_1606311099343&t-referrer_request_id=CQCFi-K--LIkKI-j 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yakman Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I highly recommend you contact a local mod to change your amp to native 230V step down transformer should only be used for Low power source device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquarius Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Power supply of any audio equipment has a significant impact on its performance. This cheap transformers will add noise. The good ones are expensive. Long ago, I bought a new TT. 9 months later, I was told that a new power supply was available, costing 70% of the TT. Improvement was very obvious.
