Is the Technics SP10R motor controller using a switching power supply


Hi,

Looking for inputs from owners of the SP10R turntable. Is the motor controller using a switching power supply and does it accept power inputs from 100v-240v?

I'm thinking of getting one from Japan but worried about the power input being only 100V. Unless it is an SMPS and is auto voltage. 

Hoping to hear from owners.

Thanks

With the present exchange rates+ Taxes and Shipping, the Purchase from Japan is presenting itself as attractive.

I can't answer the query you have raised, but do listen to a SP10 R > Glanz 12" TA > Miyajima Cart' on a regular basis, used in conjunction with Valve Equipment and Quad ESL's. I am always impressed with the presentation.

It apparently does use a switching PS but I don’t know about the variability of the voltage.

This from the Technics website:

To reduce the noise reaching the pickup, the switching power supply is equipped with a unique technology that provides a voltage supply with minimal noise by a newly developed "unwanted noise reduction circuit".

What plinth do you use with your SP10R?

Can you see the back of your SP10R controller to see the inout voltage requirements please. 

I have FR66s and so am very interested in the Glanz 12". 

I use a Koetsu Coralstone Diamond
