Zen in US, Zen in Europe question (110 vs 220)
08/25/18 at 06:36:26  
I would love to have a Zen that I could run here in US but also take to Europe. Thinking it through, I'm thinking there are a couple of options. Maybe someone can help me think this through.
1) Buy two Zens.
2) Build a Zen kit with two power transformers. (I'm not eager to build another amp, but if it is the best solution I guess I could)
3)??? How hard would it be to swap power transformers on a "decware built" Zen?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

According to the product pages the newest Zens can be wired in house for various national electrical needs. I would inquire from Steve whether this is easily accomplished as an end user and perhaps you just need one amp that you can change.

Hi questor,

Rather than changing the wiring, I have a few step-up/step-down transformers which are decently priced.  I have been moving back and forth between NY and Istanbul and some of my gear are wired for 120V and the others for 230V.  Rather than dealing with all the hassle of re-wiring, the transformers work quite fine.

Best,

Alper

Thank you. That is also a great idea. In fact I asked Steve directly and that was one of the solutions he proposed.

It is certainly the simplest! Maybe I'll go with that one.
