pete_mac Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Item: Tortech 1010VA 100V isolated stepdown transformer Location: Gledswood Hills, south-western Sydney Price: $130 Item Condition: excellent Reason for selling: no longer required Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: For sale is a Tortech 1010VA 240 to 100V isolated stepdown transformer to enable Japanese equipment to be used in Australia. Current pricing is $319 for this model: https://www.tortech.com.au/step-down-transformer-australia/japanese-transformers-to-australia/1000w-isolated-step-down-transformer This stepdown operates with minor low-level hum when your ear is up close. It is likely to be inaudible from the listening position. There is some minor cracking of the paint on one side of the enclosure - it arrived this way when I purchased it brand-new. Given that the shipping box was not damaged, I can only assume that the enclosure was damaged during assembly. This, of course, doesn't affect the operation of the stepdown. The power cable on the 240V side of the transformer is 1.5m in length. Pick-up is preferred from Gledswood Hills, south-western Sydney, however I am happy to ship at the buyer's expense.

I have this same unit and mine also has that low-level hum that, as you described, is only audible with ears up close and completely inaudible from a normal listening position. I always wondered if it was an issue with my unit but good to know that this is general behavior of this model. Great stepdown though, runs cool and the audio output downstream is dead silent 2
