Line Magnetic 110Volt vs 220Volt


Hi,
I am interested in buying a Line Magnetic amp. I checked online and see there are 2 versions: 110V and 220V.
The first one is more expensive than the second. For example, a new LM 518IA (220V) is $1800 new while the LM 518IA (110V) is about $3500 new.

I wonder if there is any difference in quality between 2 versions?
Talking about the inconvenience of having to use power converter, will it be really inconvenient?

Thank you.
Huy.

If you're buying new, the huge US markup should get you dealer support and warranty service that might be lost with the cheaper Asia version. Quite a markup to get that though...

At some point I looked heavily at some of the non-US sites, but eventually got scared off by the need of a power converter.  Figured I'd obsess forever about that device's influence on the sound... and that it would hurt my chances of resale.

Please let us know how it goes if you take the plunge, including the voltage transformer you go with...
