Eldartford;you are showing your age. I too remember that old stuff.The tube filaments were in serries with each other.One burned out, they all went out.Like the old Christmas tree string lights. How many hours did we spend trying to find the burned out bulb\bulbs.I can remember taking the tubes out and going to the neighborhood Drugstore to check them.Dont see that anymore.I was just a kid back then.Did you know back in the early days of [Nob and Tube] building wirring, the neutral was switched not the hot for the lights.I agree with you that older transformers the primary leads were of one color.But for many years now they have been two different colors.Please let me say here, I am not a electronic engineer,or even a tech.I am an electrician by trade.All I can go by is what I pick by reading books and mags.Jim
Voltage conversion from 220V to 110V.
With all the deals you see on Euro and Asian market stuff that operates on 220V its hard not to wonder is there a problem using a North American converter.
Ive got my eye on a set of Asian market mono bolck tube amps. Theyre the 220V version but theyre also about $1500 cheaper than their North American counterparts.
Can I expect any sonic problem stepping the voltage up for their requirements with a high quality converter?
What kind of converter would work best?
Thanks.
