Hey Brad...... will there be a 240v CCV version? and will it be available direct to Oz? Our dollar is up there atm, We get starved of the good US gear over here, and if some does filter thru distributors, it is usually 3 times the US price!...thx
 
Awesome Brad! Voltage selector is a must in my book. So its 110/220/240 I guess...

Down here in south america we have 220...
 
No voltage selector, the Mercury transformer we use in multi voltage. According to Mark we just need to wire it the correct way for the voltage its going to. We will make sure in our runs we have several in different voltages for export. This will defeat the high/low power option for the export amps though fyi.
 
Cool thx for answering that one...Good Luck with the new venture, sounds like a win win for all :thumbsup: ..mac
 
As I said in a previous message on other topic, in Europe (except UK 240VAC) the standard mains voltage is 230VAC, so if possible please put this tap for export models too.

If the amp does not have 230V tap, and we have to use 220V or 240V tap we won't be running the amp in the original designed voltage. The safe thing is to put it on 240V, but that means having almost 4.5% less voltage on B+, wich can be like 23Vdc for 500Vdc B+. If the amp is setted with even a lower B+ (compared to the original CCV) to accept the JJ EL34 instead of =C= SED 34, let's say 485Vdc for example, then the difference with the original ones can be 30-40Vdc on B+, wich can lead to different response and sound. Don't know if it would be too much noticeable... but I just want to tell this for you to consider. I'm sure Mark, Dave and co. knows all this, but as official 230VAC mains is "relatively" new, I preffer to let you know.

yes i agreed ! British voltage 230V option for export is a must ! cause due to the fact that most countries was under british colonial rule ;)
