    Reading the specification for the Onkyo amplifier (despite the comical translation), the power consumption can be as high as 200W. I would therefore recommend that the necessary step down transformer has a considerably higher power rating (I would go for 400 - 500W).

    Steer well clear of this one. Given its size and the warnings about not using it with certain items, it is almost guaranteed that it is not a transformer-based item, but instead a high frequency switching circuit that generates a stepped-down voltage.

    These often add high frequency spikes onto the supply and can damage connected equipment, so stick with a good quality transformer-based item. Barry's shout of Airlink is an excellent choice - I also use them and this one would be spot on: https://airlinktransformers.com/prod...rter-uk-ja0500

    This is a 500VA unit - they also do a 250VA that would probably be fine, but the 500VA is only £8 more, so seems a no-brainer.

    You could get your tech to fit a proper bucking transformer so correct voltage supplied without the need for 'attachments'.

    I've had them fitted to Ming Da amplifiers (as they are often Japanese voltage).

    That one on ebay says for use with 'light portable electronic devices'. Deffo steer clear as Beobloke says!

    Credit where credit is due. It was Jamie who mentioned Airlink, not me. All I did was to suggest any the step down transformer used, ideally should have about double the power capacity as that of the device it is powering.
