yogiboy - I stand corrected....apparently there are some V-converters that are relatively manageable in size and price and are rated up to 5000W - which in theory should be enough to run an amp.... However, I am reading mixed reviews on them....and even the manufacturers recommend to buy units which are 3 to 4 times the maximum expected power need....so my older Ref 110 was pulling 800W.... so I should be looking for something in the 3000W .
Not sure how clean power those deliver and they are reported to run very hot when running for more than 30 min..... I would need to be sure I can run it for hours.....
George - thanks for the tip on Cary CDP..... I assumed that if it says "Power consumption configured at the factory...." that basically means I can’t change that myself but it would require some configuration changes to the actual parts.....not as easy as just a fuse (I would not hesitate to do change that myself, but I would refuse to do any soldering.... I have done it for "cheap" parts or equipment, but I won't do it in a $5000 amp)
AS for JC5 - I will have to check with Parasound ....unlike the preamp and CDP from them....the JC5 doesn’t have the switch on the back to change from 110V to 220V
Good advice all around - t hank you ALL !
