I am sure a pre amp will be OK. I got into big trouble with my ViVa Solista, I bought in from the states, to the UK. It was easily changed from 110 to European standard 220volts. After it repeatedly blew capacitors and then output tubes. The Italian designer told me that UK 240volts needed new transformers. A year waiting and £800, it works perfectly, but a costly mistake. The problem was the high voltage around 820 volts in the 845 tubes. In the immortal words of Scotty from startreck " they'l no take it captain"
Audio Research 230/240 volts
I'm looking to buy a European SP16 Pre, on the back of the pre it has 230v stamped on it, I live in the UK where we use 240v. I have been told that the 230v models use the same transformers as for the 240v.
Does anyone know whether this is correct.
I know that the unit will work but I juat want to make sure the the performance will not be affected.
Am I okay to get the 230v model or best to get the 240v model?
Any prompt response would be greatly appreciated
