Converting tube preamp from 110v to 230v


There are several great deals on Agon for tube preamps but they are invariably 110 volts. Is it possible to have a 110v preamp converted to 230v without sending it to the manufacturer ? I see no reason for a manufacturer to indulge me on this.
Many thanks

HiFigeek is correct. I have often bought in the US and imported to Europe. Only had a problem once with an integrated amp. Manufactureres make for a world market, by and large they have to design a product that is easily changed.
The CJ Premier 17 I bought some years ago, took 20 minutes to change the transformer taps to convert to UK voltage. I am sure some products are more difficult, so do a bit of research if you can.
I know of one poor individual who bought a transformer for an expensive Spectral amp. When he took the lid off, there was a simple switch inside to change the voltage Doh....
