nimbuscloud Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 so I've been playing my records on a crappy crosley-esque player i was given as a present awhile ago and have decided it is time for a sorely needed upgrade. now as anyone in Aus probably knows, turntables are up to 50% more expensive here than the US and speaking as a poor student, this sucks! i was just wondering if anyone has shipped one over from amazon or somewhere similar and would they recommend it? do they get easily damaged in transport? any tips would help! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The US uses 110v 60hz mains and you use UK style 230v 50hz so you'd be better importing one from the UK or Europe otherwise when you plug in your nice new 110v turntable from the US it will just make smoke and possibly go bang.

nimbuscloud Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 thanks for the tip, i have a converter at home that changes 110v appliances to 240v that I used to use with grow lights from the US (for carnivorous plants not weed as I'm sure everyones thinking ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
