I think Muris had similar issue with one of his components in rack. Don't exactly remember what it was, but he solved it so he probably has more experience with this issue.

I think the issue is that amps and stuff can pull quite a large load which may cause the travel converter to overload and over heat if left on for some time. If you use a proper step up voltage transformer from 110 to 230V it should be ok. I think Muris had an electrician supply and fit his to his preamp.
One other thing - as far as I can tell in Spain the mains is not earthed in the same way as in the UK - and I think the US. A noticable side effect of this is that equipment can arc when you put the plug in/pull it out. That might have caused the problem. Might be worth putting valuable electrical/electronics through a switched surge protector that you isolate before you plug in/out stuff. Also check the back of your equipment - some can be switched between 110 and 220-240 V.

Tony is right, amps can pull peaks that can overload the transformers. I didn't ever heard for a transformer that is small and light enough to be practical, but - as I said - try to contact Muris, maybe he can help. Cheers!
