Hi,
After months of watching Decware, Audiogon and HiFiShark, I was able to buy a used ZMA. The original owner is from Denmark and accordingly, the amp is wired for 220v. As I understand the research I’ve done to date, 220v is substantially the same as US 240v, and the amp should also be fine with US 60hz AC. I think all of this means I should be able to install a 240v outlet, and it will run the ZMA just fine. That said, I’m not remotely an electrician, and I’m unclear how the differing single pole/double pole wiring between the US and Europe comes into play—or even if it does. In the meantime, I’ve ordered a Rockstone 1000w step up converter to convert 110v from the AC outlet to the 220v the ZMA needs. I’m mostly making sure doing this won’t damage the amp in any way.
As I said, I’m not an electrician, and I do plan to hire one to put the outlet in, but before doing so, it would be great to hear from folks who have run a European wired amp in the US, or who better understand the pitfalls of doing so. Thanks.
