Hi Paul.
Where did you get your Eastern Electric M520 from
and are there any UK dealers.Most of the info I can find
on the net is from the USA..
Cheers

Hi Paul thanks for the info.
In case you haven't sorted it, you can obtain a 500VA 240v to 220v auto transformer from Farnell or RS for around £50.
I use one for some of my Chinese amps, It works well..
Cheers
Andy.

Cheers for that Andy,I did get one of those trannies in the end .Everythings been hunky dory since,but I've been meaning to phone Shadow Audio to see if its possible to get a propper uk spec inbuilt transformer for it .Having the other transformer sitting of to the side is a bit of an eye sore for me.
I did try emailing EE direct but got no response

Some of the Chinese amp manufacturers will supply amps with 235/240v UK spec mains transformers from new. There is usually a 14 day turn around time for this.
I know Ming Da and I think Yaquin do this and others may well.
Fitting a replacement transformer to your Eastern Electric retrospectively would probably be a fairly expensive. Plus there seems to be a smaller transformer internally which may well need to be replaced, (think it powers the signal valve heaters or the LT to the remote circuits) so labour costs may be on the high side.It may be as well to stick with the auto transformer.The added bonus is it will give you a bit of extra mains filtering.
Cheers
Andy.

I cant fault the build quality itself though,appeals to my neater side.
I suppose if I can find a nice low stand or cabinet I could tuck the tranny underneath or some such and stand the amp on top,I cant go too high because my tv is only 10" above it.
