Looks like Steve was correct to leave this one alone (Spectral DMA 150 on Ebay), I hope the high bidder hasn't paid yet, I think Ebay have cancelled it.

Indeed. And I think he's found a better (and cheaper) solution anyway

Not sure I'm with you, mate. Steve will either by using the same step-down transformer as me or having the unit modified to take 240V by the same person modifying my Yaqin.

Why? I might prefer something different or better to what they recommend!
And I didn't even know there was a "Yaquin UK". Do they have a website?

Indeed! I quite like it with a 'u', though - makes it sound more exshotic...
I don't think that website has anything to do with the Yaqin brand in China. It's just some bloke who buys the amps from the Far East (like I did) then sells them on Ebay for double the price he paid and calls himself "Yaqin UK", at least so I've heard.
I mean, why the f*ck would you want to pay £600 for an MC-100B when you can get one for half that price direct! You'd need to be a major numpty

Are you serious? That's who I've just been slagging off to Andre. He buys them in from China for the same price I paid and punts them on to people in the UK for twice that amount, and calls himself "Yaqin UK". He does diddly squat to convert them to 240V or to have them EU-approved.
Try to keep up, mate!
