Accuphase voltage conversion 110/120 to 230 VAC


Hi
I'm planning to buy a Accuphase A-50V or A-60 and a DP-67.
However they are very expensive in Europe and I'm thinking to buy one in the US or maybe in Japan.
Do anyone know if it is possible to convert a Japanese or US model from 100/120 VAC to 230 internally using a switch/ moving some cables, or are they entirely different models with different power supplyes?
Can the Japanese and US models run at 50 HZ?
Thank's

Uli's idea is probably the easiest solution. Another solution would be to buy a 50Hz unit from Japan and get it switched from 110 to 230 volt in Europe (should be relatively easy/cheap) as Japan uses both 50Hz and 60Hz units (depending on which side of the Fuji River you live on).

FWIW, I have asked Accuphase (the company itself in Yokohama, not a foreign distributor) the same question before on behalf of a friend. IF you own it in Japan for more than 6 months, Accuphase will change it themselves at little or no charge, which, if also practiced abroad (and I would see no reason for it not to be), would suggest buying used from a very nice seller willing to jump through an additional hoop for you the buyer.
