Air Tight amps -- changing voltage to 120V or 230V


I am very interested in purchasing an Air Tight ATM-300R, but the US pricing is atrocious.

I was wondering if anyone has tried importing Air Tight amps from Japan and tried changing input voltage in the field ? Is it possible to do so (like Accuphase) or do I need a step-up transformer which is usually a terrible option.

 

Thanks!

IMHO using a transformer is not a bad option.  Use a transformer with 2-4x the wattage rating that you need.  It will run cool and quiet and will not limit aperage to your amp.  Buy a quality brand.  Expect to spend several hundred dollars.
