Audio Research Reference 3 voltage conversion

Can you use a seperate wall transformer. It is a preamp, so unlike an amp the power draw shouldn't be a problem ? (note this a question).

I had the same problem, but the other way around. I drove 100 miles for what I thought would be a killer deal on an ARC preamp only to find out it was a 220V model. (then later, I wondered if I could have used a transformer or voltage regulator or something?

Like there are dozens listed in the phone book.
Senior, tiene mas voltages, por favor!! lolol

The problem is that some ARC products need to change the transformer (s) and some only need some wires to be switched. I'm interested to know if the Ref3 and CD7 & CD8 is the ones that need the whole transformer changed or they just need some wires to switch place.

That's important to know cause it's much more difficult and expensive to perform the transformer swap. Hope to get some answers.

Thanks.

hii all of the arc ref 3
can bee connvert from 120v to 220v 240v
i have done that to my ref3

Hello Simsim ,looking at the schematics of my REF 3 ( 230V european version ) I noticed three xformers , one for the highvoltage 400V , one for the logicvoltage 5 V and a 12V for the display.Can 't see extra windings for another voltage , so I think it is not easy without outboard converter to use your amp.for 230 V.I 'm very sorry for you
