I;m pretty sure the Brystons have to be sent back to the factory for retapping but I will reconfirm. I understand its a simple 5 minute procedure, but I am no electrical engineer! Will check with Sim Audio & Jeff Rowland about the change in voltage.
And yes, sending the boxes back to the factory is not just a big pain but also a huge risk. I had the privilege of being the victim of UPS the day before Thanksgiving. Perfect timing too, as I was walking out of my door on the way to the airport. What a great start to the Thanksgiving weekend. The boxes were heavily damaged so I insisted the UPS driver wait while I opened the boxes to examine the equipment. I returned with a pair of scissors and my digital camera to find the UPS driver ripping the boxes apart. When I told him the boxes would probably cost $75 to $100 each to replace the color on his face changed.
Moral of the story: stay away from UPS during the holiday season.
