jinp6301 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 If an amp/source was going from 220v to 110v or vice versa, is there a decrease in SQ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister X Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Pretty general question.... want a general answer? It depends. I have one pretty nice "regulated" voltage converter and I cannot measure any difference when I use it. I also have a POS converter that adds a fair amount of measurable noise. In most cases it is much easier to re-wire the primary's in the amp/source. (assuming of course that is even possible) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, how much was your "regulated" one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister X Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 The "regulated one" was like $50 IIRC. What device are we typing about here? (cause like I said before it may be possible to skip the whole convertor thing and just re-wire the primarys and I am sure you could find someone near you to do it for you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinp6301 Posted September 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Well this is just a possible buy of an Accuphase CD player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absorbine_Sr Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I've been using one of these to power a 220v X-Ray v3, and have not noticed any noise that might be a result of the converter: http://www.voltageconverters.com/itemdesc.asp?CartId={FDCB76EVERESTC9-1240-4E7B-8CDD-748A66551BC6}&ic=VC300W Reks heard the X-Ray at the Cinci meet - did sound noisy to you Reks?

jinp6301 Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 where is the reckster? (Thats right, I gave you a nickname, what cha going to do about it Please dont edit this!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephas Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Well this is just a possible buy of an Accuphase CD player. I believe most Accuphase CDPs can be adjusted for 100V, 110V, 220V, etc. Previous models could be switched easily, while the recent DP-500 requires opening the bottom of the case and desoldering and soldering a piece of wire.
