Is there anything stopping you using 240V for non-stationary applications other than inertia ? The rest of the world (mostly) gets on with it (220-240V) just fine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_mains_power_plugs,_voltages_and_frequencies Graham

Something George probably can't understand is that the DSP code affects the sound. Not all DSP code is born equal so it's NOT just 'digital EQ'. Nor are wordlengths equal either. More bits give better resolution and definition. Graham
