Do you own a Benz Lukaschek PP-1 phono pre?

Strange question. I bought one of these sleek little Benz units used a while back. Mine came with a 110v wall-wart power transformer from Polytrona AG, and it has some form of European plug configuration plus a Brookstone travel adapter. It's cheesy and I'd like to get a proper U.S. version of the transformer. Benz wants $50 and it will take like 6 years or something to come from Switzerland and I have to go through a dealer (now there's a big sale). So...if anyone owns a Benz with a proper transformer, could you let me know the manufacturer and model or part number? Maybe I can locate one online somewhere.

The one I have outputs 24V. I guess that should be readily available, but of course I want the best I can find and all that.

I welcome any suggestions, including to just shut up and be happy with what I've got. Thanks.

This is the brand it comes with for USA use . The voltage adapter should cause you no problems. You probably bought one that came here as "grey goods" - hence the need for the adapter.

Are you happy with the way it sounds? For what that unit is-it puts many higher priced phono stages to shame.
