QUOTE(yed @ Apr 8 2008, 06:53 PM) hmm..i`m not so sure about that..because i had query the US supplier last time and they told me to have stepdown transformer...l Ya you are right. Checked with the US supplier here and said that it need to use the transformer. Now, does this pose a problem - i mean if i were to buy it from US and then use the step down transformer, it will be just as good right ? or will there be a difference in sound quality or any other issues that i should be aware of? Any input will be appreciated, as i am very much a newbie, as u can tell.

That's why some people buy those filter to reduce the noise.

I'm just thinking that the customs officers would discriminate against people using this mode of transport (ie. foot and bus) and make the assumption that they couldn't really afford to buy anything valuable anyway.
