I have a Marantz 1040 home stereo amplifier that is wired for European voltage, but I'm in the U.S. and my tech guy isn't available to convert it for at least a month.

Would it be a bad idea (for safety or sound) to get one of these so I can use it in the meantime?

LiteFuze 300 Watt Step Up/Step Down Travel Voltage Converter, 220/110v to 110/220v

Not to open a whole can of worms, since there are so many conflicting ideas about safe wattage, but the Marantz officially lists at 125 watts of power consumption.

Any advice is appreciated!

Hi, I've read a bunch of posts in this sub about WiiM and I'm still unclear on one aspect: Can I simply play music that is on my Windows PC hard drive via Windows Media Player and just casting it to a Wiim Mini? Or would there always need to be another device like a phone or tablet involved to run their app?

For context: I'm a budget user and I never stream anything at all, but I currently use a Bluetooth thinger to listen to my PC's music via the Aux input on a vintage amplifier. I'm just looking to do the same but via WiFi, for enhanced stability and fidelity.

Or is there another better option anywhere near the $99 range, which is what I'd like to spend?

Thanks!

Hi. Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but I couldn't find the exact answer.

I'm looking to get a Marantz 1040 (I have a very small apartment, I will almost exclusively be playing vinyl records through it, and I love bass).

Is the 2220 the same with just a tuner added?

Is the 1040's exact phono stage used in the 2220, or in any other Marantz model?

Thanks in advance! It's hard to find reliable information on this, especially with audiokarma currently borked.
