I bought a cheap replacement inlet and it just feels so much better. Meaning, I can feel the plug grip the pins much earlier, and they all grip much better. Yes, change the IEC C-14 is the best option!👍 I found some photos online the Luxman ...

Shindo preamp rewire 230v to 240v
@essrand  Sorry I don't have experience of any Shindo amplifiers. However, if the back panel printed 100V/120V/230V 50/60Hz, I will assume it can be wired to any of the printed voltage by a qualified technician.  
Shindo preamp rewire 230v to 240v
Best to check with seller and ask to see a pic of the power transformer, if it comes with dual 120V primary windings, it can be easily wired to 240V by any qualified technician.
