Voltage conversion of Accuphase E-650

@eugene81
Congrats! Thanks for posting the photos.

Is there any guide how should 230v/240v label should be? I am eyeing for a 220v pre-owned unit but need to convert that into either a 230v or preferably a 240v version
Appreciate some advise

Hi everyone, 

I have the E-600 amp and I am thinking of converting the voltage for it. 

Does this conversion change the sound quality? 

If I don't have dim bulb tester, is there any other way to test?

Thank you.

@imhififan My amp is E-600 (not E-650 as others’ in this thread). I am trying to convert the voltage from 100V to 120V.

Could you check the 3 pictures below and advise where these K connectors need to be moved?

Many thanks!

To convert the voltage from 100V to 120V, Move K3 to K5 and K4 to K6 position.

Voltage conversion on E-600, E-650 and E-800 basically similar, first row of connections for 100V, second row for 120V and third row for 220/240V.

For 100V and 120V mains, soft start resistors jumpers and fuse value remain the same.

For 220/240V mains,disconnect jumper J1 and J3, install jumper wire on J2, change fuse accordingly.

Accuphase design those built in power transformer for worldwide voltage, I don't think voltage conversion will affect sound quality.

I hope I've answered your questions.
