Voltage conversion of Accuphase E-650


Does anyone know how to convert voltage of Accuphase E-650 100v to 110/120v? Or does anyone provide information on voltage conversion table of Accuphase E-650?

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. 

@imhififan I really appreciate your sharing! This doesn't only help me but also those who have the same need in the future. 

Your answers address more than what I have asked!

I have another question though, after desoldering K3 to K5, do I need to fill the empty holes in K3 and K5 with lead or they are ok to be empty?

@imhififan I'm sorry for my typo, please ignore my previous questions. What I meant is: after desoldering K3 to K5, K4 to K6, do I need to fill the empty holes in K3 and K4 with lead or they are ok to be empty?
