You should be fine with that piece. Even if the transformers weren't the same, the lower voltage unit would only operate at a slightly elevated temperature as there is only about 4% difference in the ratings. Many of the older Audio pieces over here were designed with 110-115V X-formers/power supplies. Now normal residential voltages are running 120-125V(an 11% disparity), and the function of the equipment is not affected.
Audio Research 230/240 volts
I'm looking to buy a European SP16 Pre, on the back of the pre it has 230v stamped on it, I live in the UK where we use 240v. I have been told that the 230v models use the same transformers as for the 240v.
Does anyone know whether this is correct.
I know that the unit will work but I juat want to make sure the the performance will not be affected.
Am I okay to get the 230v model or best to get the 240v model?
Any prompt response would be greatly appreciated
