220v to 120v conversion
« on: 22 Feb 2021, 06:28 pm »
There are a pair of Bryston monoblocks I am interested in that are 220v. The dealer says he can change them to 120v before shipping. I know next to nothing about electricity. Is the conversion easy to do correctly and well? Or migth there be non-trivial issues involved?

thanks for your thoughts.

I would not let a dealer convert them.

Generally we recommend the distributor in the country they will reside in as they have to meet all safety standards in that country as well as re-register the warranty.

If the owner of the company tells me not to do it, I am not going to do it!  thanks for the reply.
