HEllo from Italy. New to Audio Circle. Wonderful site indeed.
I'm a new owner of the 10B. I bought it in US and asking what to do to convert it to 220V. From the threads I understand I need to change the transformer. How do i order the 220V one ... Any other things to be changed?

Thanks
Marco

Yes Marco their are a number of things that have to be changed to meet safty standards. The best thing to do is to contact the Bryston distributor in Italy.

Thanks James, Since I'm quite knowledgeable (I'm an eletronic Engineer with good practical experience) I will be very happy to do it myself. Any way to do it? May be I should get the BOm (and may be the trasformer)?

Hi - it has to be done by our distributor as we open ourselves up to litigation if we allow unauthorized personal to do it.

Why not use an external 220/120v transformer, then you wouldn't have to go inside the 10b

Been there done that.  Don't.   Transformers modify the voltage but not the hertz - the 110v is more than likely 60hz, and 220v systems in Europe run at 50Hz

^ yup thanks and agreed I forgot about the 50hz over there and was just about to edit my original post.
