Hi All,
Tis my first post so be gentle, I'm hoping you guys can help me!
I bought a second hand Schiit Asgard2 the other day which turned out to be a US 115VAC version (I'm in the UK on 230V). When it came it had some huge transformer and plug block MacGyvered to the plug to step the voltage down. Unfortunately, although it works, the transformer buzzes like crazy and gets a bit too hot for comfort. I googled the make and model of the transformer and apparently it is only designed to be used for a short period or it will overheat and cut out which is a pain.
After some extensive trawling of the internet, I found there are jumpers that can be altered inside the Asgard unit to change the transformer over from US 115v to UK 230v which should be simple enough. I was wondering whether anybody had tried this modification and whether it works, and if so what type (slow/fast blow) and rating of fuse I would need to change the current one to so it will be compatible?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Rich
