Accuphase E-260 Voltage Conversion (100V to 230V)

does it matter which wires go on top and on the bottom of pin 3 ? 

It doesn’t matter.

the fuse is currently used on a 120b Hegel H190 and it’s rated at 10AT ( slow blow)

IIRC, the fuse in the E-270 is 5A slow blow, your 10A SR fuse will not provide desired protection.

Thank you @imhififan , appreciate it.

Hello @imhififan,

Hope this message finds you well. I am a young lad from France and love vintage Hifi gear. In 15 days, I will be visiting Japan and would like to buy an Accuphase E303. Do you think that the wiring system is similar and that it would be possible to convert it to 230V AC ? Below, you can find some of the pictures that I found on Internet. 

Thank you very much for your answer and for sharing your knowledge with all the forum members 🙏🏽

Best regards,

João Ferreira

P.S. If you know these devices, which one do you prefer? E202 vs E303? Do you think they can marry well with a pair of Ditton 66? I have currently a Citation 16+17 and I am not happy with the result. Thank you

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, you can download the service manual at https://elektrotanya.com/accuphase e-303, It shows voltage conversion.

If you know these devices, which one do you prefer? E202 vs E303?

IMO, Accuphase's newer models generally have better specs than their predecessors, and I would choose the E-303 over the E-202.

Do you think they can marry well with a pair of Ditton 66? I have currently a Citation 16+17 and I am not happy with the result.

Sorry, I have no experience with Ditton 66. Maybe other forum members will climing in to give you advises.

Thank you very much for answering so promptly. I will look into it and try to find a nice unit in Japan. I will let you know.
