Advice needed...Logistics of hauling a 120V high end USA system to Aussie land...

Posted by joeljoel1947 (A) on June 16, 2014 at 18:40:16

Looking for advice. If one were to move their 120V audiophile system(s) from here (USA) to 240V Oz, what exactly would I be getting myself into and how many adapters and expense of conversion adapters/transformers would I be looking at if I was to do this? What would be the easiest/most cost effective approach of power conversion to get things up and running there?

I've seen adapters ranging from $5 to much much more. For audiophile high power type stuff, like power amps and such, what would be involved?

Just wondering if it might actually be easier to sell off my existing system here buy a whole new system when I get there as opposed to spending a lot on transformers, adapters and such!? Or am I making a mountain out of a mole-hill?

I'd likely be taking and assembling 2-3 systems, consisting of:
4 tube power amps
4 solid state power amps
2 Tube preamps
2 SS preamps
2 Tube cd players
2 SACD/DVD-A players
4 Open reel decks
2 turntables
2 tube phono stages
1 tube tape head amp
2 Tube tuners
2 Blu Ray players
4 powered subwoofers


So yeah about 33 pieces of 120V audiophile items would possibly go over there. What are my options (and no I'm not going to bother finding someone to rewire the existing items for 240V) and thanks in advance for your response.
Regards,
Joel
