Accuphase voltage conversion 110/120 to 230 VAC

The simple answer is "yes" with most models. I have the DP-75V, the C-275 and the A-50. All these I have opened and checked the wiring. In five minutes anybody who has seen cables can do the change but you need to change the fuse, too, which is even easier. I live in Japan, but will move back to Europe next year and plan to take the Accuphase gear with me. I actually own a PS-500, too, so I decided to buy a transformer (240v to 100v).

I believe most if not all Accuphases feature Japanese-, US- and European-voltage secondaries. A case in point is the Accuphase DP70 (see the last picture on the Chinese webpage:
http://eddie.dyec.com.tw/diy-demo/audio-diy/cd_dvd_modify/accuphase_dp-70/accuphase_dp-70.htm
) You can see the voltage sticker on this older Accuphase CD player. However, I was told that the latest Accuphases don't come with the voltage sticker anymore.

Hi Frandsen,
I just purchased a 110V A-50V model and it even says in the manual that the unit can be converted to 220/230/240V. They suggest to let an authorized Accuphase dealer do it. Before I moved to Bermuda, I had all my Accuphase gear converted from 240V to 110V and it was no problem except for the PS-500 which could not be switched. I would be very cautious about using third party transformers in my chain.

US prices are somewhat cheaper than Europe's but nowhere near the deals you get in Asia. You should be able to buy 230V in special stores in Tokyo but would need to do some research. Normally, expatriates posted to Japan will know.

I have an Accuphase dp55V at european voltage 220-240V.
On the cd player there is a transformer without any voltage sticker and without any wire or cable to move, but with a small circuit board soldered with the transformer.
On the board there are three jumpers named J1/J2/J3. For 220-240V the jumper J3 is closed with a wire soldered, the other two are open. I think J2 is for 120V (USA) and J1 for 100V (Japan).
For the voltage conversion must be changed also the fuse,
250mA for 220-240V or 400mA for 100V-120V.
The transformer is the same for 50 or 60Hz.
If someone, that has the DP55V at 100V or 120V, can look at the jumpers on the circuit board near the transformer, can confirm if J1/J2 are for 100V/120V.

Please, does anybody know about changing voltage in DP 700, DCDP 800-801? Thanks
