Rega Planar3 220V-110V conversion problem

Posted by conwayvn (A) on April 28, 2002 at 09:33:17

I just got a Rega Planar 3 that was from England so it's set up for European voltage - 220 V. I'm having trouble converting it to work here in the US. I bought a transformer and a plug since it didn't come with one(just naked wires). I don't understand why it doesn't work. The turntable is set up for 220/250 V and 50 Hz and its power consumption is less than 4 W. When I tried playing an LP, the speed is still too fast. Does anyone know if I have to do more than just get a transformer to make it work correctly? Thanks
