So, FYI here is the answer that I got concerning using the Vantage in Europe from Jim Powers... ``The Vantages sold within the USA will only operate at 60 hz and 120 volts. They must be modified for both conditions in order to function in Europe. If you have owned your Vantages for a minimum of...

i actually jumped to conclusions too fast! the Mc and the Cary are 110v or 220v depending on country where it is sold. sooo, seems that i'm in for a step-down converter, or have all my equipment converted to 220v before bringing it to europe. in case i move back here, i can always sell the old...

audio physic tempo... hi there! i really wanted to get myself a pair of Vantage, but i realized that they would not work under 50hz and 60hz the same way. which means i cannot take them to europe in a couple of months when i move from the usa. the other brand that i liked very much listening...

cary after all? hi Patrick, we're in the same boat, as you say. i actually found out that jadis amps sold here are 110v, not 220v compatible. can you confirm this? on the other hand, both mcintosh and cary are 110-220v compatible. i have looked for opinions of cary users here but didn't found...

further questions Thanks for your input! For the moment, I think I'll simply try for the MCIntosh, I've always dreamed of owing those. I'll still have a chance to try Jadis, Atoll and other European brands back there! :music: So, I'm all ready to go for Mc C220 Pre, Mc275 Amp and a...

Hello, I have been in the market to renew my equipment for some time, and I fell in love with the MLs. Not only they match perfectly my musical taste, but they also look great! I'm looking to make my purchase soon as I'm now living in Chicago and will be relocating to Paris soon, and prices are...
