220V amplifier in 110V country... oops!

Thanks for responding! I won’t push the amp too much, living in a condo So I’ll never reach the 250 watts peak of it. And trust me, I won’t need the 800 watts converter cause I’ll NEVER do the same mistake ahah.. Next one, in a far future i hope, will be a 110v. Now each time I’ll turn on my amp whit that converter I’ll stress out… Really hope that UMI converter will be a reliable friend. Even if I had a deal on that Marantz Cinemate 70s, I don’t wanna burn it and lose it!

Yeah, I'd say just make sure it's at least the same size and you should be good. Even if it's like 50-75W less, if you're never playing it loud, it'll be fine. How many watts is your UMI converter? I've seen them on Amazon, they look decent

I chose the Umi 500 watts one. It works fine! A tiny little "humming" sound tho.. A bit annoying
