Many of the amps you buy on Ebay that are made in China,they almost have an extra wait time because they have to modify the AC input to work in the US market.If it was 240vac,there wouldn't be an issue..What some guys are doing are running their amps on variacs which is a bad idea..They aren't stable over time and there can be fluctuations in voltage by as much as 10% or more.You are better off just getting a tapped isolation trafo or getting transformer with the correct primaries.
