1095 amp questions

[Iningo_Montoya]

I am looking at picking up a 1095 on audiogon. Right now I have an offer from a dealer in Hong Kong for a nice price but it is the 220-240v version. Since I am in the US, will this work OK or do I need to have one of the US versions? Sorry if this is a newbie question!

I'm not an electrical engineer, but there are converters to change the current from 110 volts to 240 volts and vice-versa. However, I'm not sure if this would impact the performance of a high current unit such as the 1095 or not. I'd guess it probably wouldn't, but this is only a guess.

We need the advice of a more knowing person here. Anyone had experience using voltage converters?

Pretty sure an authourized Rotel dealer could point you in the right direction to get it serviced(converted). Unless the deal is a steal it may cost you more in the end. Price out the conversion before you commit.

Rotel equipment supports both 230volts/50 Hz and the USA 110v/60Hz, but an authorized dealer has to switch it. They simply make the same equipment for the whole world, but just switch depending on where they are going to sell it.
