will my hi-fi work??
Will my hi-fi work in USA? I know I can get an adaptor for the plug but will the electrical current affect it? When I took my hairdryer there and used the adaptor the air was no stronger than a mild breeze - I'm just wondering whether it would play my CDs. Do you think I'm better off buying a hi-fi when I get there??

I brought my CD player and amp with me and they work perfectly on a smoothing transformer.

Things like PC's Hi Fi and such are a bit more picky and you will need to follow Pulaskis remark. Without getting too technical they operate on a different voltage frequency to the UK which can spike them. I found that most items in the US are CHEAPER then the UK so just go to Walmart and pick up a new one.........good old Walmart
