Accuphase voltage conversion 110/120 to 230 VAC


Hi
I'm planning to buy a Accuphase A-50V or A-60 and a DP-67.
However they are very expensive in Europe and I'm thinking to buy one in the US or maybe in Japan.
Do anyone know if it is possible to convert a Japanese or US model from 100/120 VAC to 230 internally using a switch/ moving some cables, or are they entirely different models with different power supplyes?
Can the Japanese and US models run at 50 HZ?
Thank's

Hi Frandsen,
I just purchased a 110V A-50V model and it even says in the manual that the unit can be converted to 220/230/240V. They suggest to let an authorized Accuphase dealer do it. Before I moved to Bermuda, I had all my Accuphase gear converted from 240V to 110V and it was no problem except for the PS-500 which could not be switched. I would be very cautious about using third party transformers in my chain.

US prices are somewhat cheaper than Europe's but nowhere near the deals you get in Asia. You should be able to buy 230V in special stores in Tokyo but would need to do some research. Normally, expatriates posted to Japan will know.
