Thanks for the responses, as I have already said, much appreciated.
To answer the question of whether its step up or down, in my opinion:
Electricity, like water, flows downhill toward the appliance. In my case, the mains supply is 230/240v but the Amp accepts 100v only, so a transformer which sits in between 'steps the voltage down from 230v to 100v', so I suppose it is rightly call a Step-down Transformer.
And otherwise would be true if someone took a UK/EU appliance to Japan.
Please keep sharing you experience about Accuphase.
Many Thanks
