Hi all...
Got a new ISP and they actually have some decent newsgroup coverage,
so
this is my first post here in probably a decade... HA!
Anyhow, just had a thought - does your gear over there use the same
three
pin IEC connectors on the back? If so, what prevents anyone taking a US
110vac rig and sending it over to your side of the pond, and then someone
plugging in a nice
British 240vac (that's what it is?) line cord with a British mains plug
and
the same IEC on the unit, and POWW!!!
Common sense + a desire not to destroy your hifi equipment?
Common sense? What's that?
