Accuphase E-408 voltage conversion

I would try reaching out to Accuphase directly.

My preamp and phonostage are fed by a power supply which provides 12V, and the manufacturer sent a jumper from Europe and the instruction sheet for converting it from 110v to 230v.

(Another US manufacturer’s tube amp was wired to 230v from 110v by a local electronic repair place… they pretty much know how to do it if it is a direct transformer tap, and not via a jumper or two… which does the same thing.)

And PrimaLuna sent the instructions for which transformer taps to move the mains for 110v to 230v conversion.

I suspect that Accuphase would do similar, but that is mostly based upon my positive impression of them as a very reputable high end company. I could be wrong, but my impression is that Accuphase and Luxman are sort of high end there.
(Or I would be pretty surprised if they did not help.)

So it seems like it is worth a try to email them.

Best of luck with it. I suspect it is a nice piece of gear.

(Or it truely sucks and I’ll give $19.50 for it. 😗 )

Thank you for your response, unfortunately the manufacturer does not provide such information. I tried to find a service manual, but it is not freely available.

A photo of the inside might help…
Or a local electronics repair place.

They just put on a transformer and measure the wires from the other transformer taps to find the right ones.

On my Audible Illusions line stage, the transformer is either 110v or 230v, so there was no moving to different winding taps, and they wanted $750 to provide the 230v version. And it still sits on a 230v—>110v transformer.

You should be able to pick up a transformer for going from 230v —> 100v
