@celtic66 Thanks for your thoughts…! We’re planning on buying a house outside Manchester…so I’m hoping to create an office/listening room there. The amp and pre amp and DAC all sit on a rolling custom rack that doesn’t take up too much space…but your thoughts are noted…! I’m already nuts for buying what I have…!!

The ARC gear ships all around the world, so give them a call. It does not need to go to Minnesota… Any competent apprentice can do it.z I got the PrimaLuna transformer drawing to switch to 230v. My older ARC I have not investigated, and the AI pre were the ones that wanted $750. At 750 I’ll use a transformer. Run it on 230vac if you CAN, it will sound better. Many of us know that you get more power and less loss when running equipment on higher voltage. My BS meter just pegged with ^that^ Input. Many of us know that you get more power and less loss when running equipment on higher voltage Are those the people running 2 and 4 ohm speakers? Or the ones running 16 ohm speakers? |
I lived in Manchester UK from 76 to 98. I went to UMIST there. Where in Manchester are you moving to ? Cheshire, Stockport, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow & Handforth are fantastic places to live in. BTW, UK is 240 Volts, not 220. In any case, do not buy cheap & dangerous Chinese crap. Get these: https://acupwr.com/ And make absolutely sure they are rated for 50Hz. Otherwise, they will overheat. You will pay more but you wont be sorry, even better, you will not be electrocuted. |
