I'm thinking of buying a Mapletree MAD Ear tube amp from a fellow headfier. I live however in Sweden and the amp has been bought in the USA. The voltage in Sweden is 230V, 50 Hz. I will obviously need a different kind of power cable or a power outlet converter, but as I'm unfamiliar with Mapletree amps I'm not sure if they operate at 230V as well? If not, would it require some circuit-board modification? Or is it as simple as flipping an internal switch (which I know you can do with some amps)?

I´m almost sure the transformer on the MAD is capable of 230v but the amplifier would need significant internal work.

It isn't in other words a simple quick fix with a soldering iron? :/
