Hifi Power

[fredjones]

Hi

Need some help pls. I am relocating to Thailand and am shipping my musical fidelity hifi equipment ( 6 years old A3.2CD, pre and power amp), wharfedale speakers, Marantz amplifier and Rel sub woofer. I am concerned about power supply differences between uk and thailand and what if anything I need to do to protect the hifi from power fluctuations and different power voltages, etc...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also does anybody know a good hifi shop in Chiang Mai who could help me reinstall all the biwire and biamping cables, etc...

Cheers

I would worry much more about protecting your equipment from the "customs men" than the power supply

which is 240v ( ish ) 50 hz same as the UK.

Nominal power is the same, 220V 50Hz, so plug in and go. You'll probably want to install a power conditioner / voltage regulator and surge suppression kit.

No idea about the cables I'm afraid.

Draw a diagram and label the cables as you dismantle

perhaps a photo or two,

then reassembly should be straight forward.

Yes, good luck with customs. Prices and selection here are not very good.

I got a very good power conditioner/surge protector from these guys:

But it's for equipment made to operate with the power supply we have here.

Stuff here is cheap and everywhere as ''sounds'' are part of the culture. As stated above, you might be in for a shock with customs ''officials''.

Thanks guys... I'll have to pickup a couple of high quality power boards... The customs is already sorted... got away ok...
