Hi, Just wondering if my 230V UK Linn LK140 can be used ok in the USA on 110v?
There is not a rotary dial to select voltage on the base of the unit (like some Linn equipment has). The transformer inside does not disclose what voltages it accepts on the sticker and the back of the amplifier just gives a list of what fuses to run on what voltages. The manual mentions nothing about whether 230v can also run 110v it just says that if you put 230v in to a 110v transformer bad things will happen! I am thinking that it may be possible just to change the fuse to the correct rating? Am I correct? It seems there was a seperate Japanese 100v model.
