USB vs dock for iPod on Peachtree units?

I just found out that the Japanese model is modified for the Japanese voltage, 100V instead of 115/230. That is among the reasons for the price difference, besides many other market factors.

A retailer here claimed that there is a difference in the sound quality, a higher noise floor, when using the 115V version with 100V, as well as lower power output.

Now I need to consider the importance of that factor.

Could someone with an iDecco please check the specs for me, and see what the actual input ranges are? i.e. 115 +- 7 volts, etc?

LOL, no I don't want to go into that quagmire. I love my system despite it's limitations, and I know better than to start spouting about it's virtues... I hope I was of some help with your questions. Cheers.

Yes, you helped a LOT, Iramirez, Thanks! L8r!

I got the very first Japanese iDecco sold in Japan!

Just as an update to end this thread, people at Peachtree as well as on this side convinced me that the Japanese version is better for the power system here. I got the first unit from the distributor, before it hit the market here. I ran into a couple of questions while setting-up, which I'll ask in the tech forums if I need to. Again, thanks for your help with my selection.

Just purchased an iDecco and it is FABULOUS....with the right speakers it's just terrific. Couldn't be happier.
