Voltage conversion of Accuphase E-5000

@imhififan
 

Anyway, my intention is just to help those who have an Accuphase with Japan voltage and want to convert it to 120V or 220/240V, I don’t gain any financial interest from anyone

Your comments are correct and very persuasive. I am not interested in running business about any audio gears, but I am very interested in quality of sound.

I look forward to your posting comments in the future.

Thank you.

Sorry, I have no experience with voltage conversion with the Accuphase C-47 and PS-1250 either.

I'd love to know how to do that though! If you could provide some close-up pictures of both sides of the power supply board in your threads, maybe we can figure it out.

 

C-47 has been updated to C-57. I have got C-57. Here are pictures of the power supply board:

I will appreciate very much if you would provide information on how to convert 100v to 120v.

It looks like Accuphase's typical preamp dual transformer setup, with jumpers J1, J2, J3 and J4, J5, J6 for voltage selection. Moving the jumpers to J2 and J5 will convert to 120V.

Before converting the voltage to 120V, testing this board with 100V input. Measure the DC voltage across the 220uF capacitor and if the voltage is less than 20% of the rated voltage of the relay coil, you don't need to do anything with this board.

Thank you very much for providing information. I will let you know as soon as voltage conversion completes.
