I'm crushed :( Tue, Jan 2. 2007


Delivered today was my xmas present from Thomas, a Phonic T8200 'Tube Optimizer', which is a fancy way to say "aural compressor". It seems to have been ordered & shipped from the the U.K.... and something we all easily forget: Set up for 220VAC @ 50Hz. Doh.


I've already written to Phonic... hoping they tell me to just use a different tap on the transformer and change the fuse, otherwise I guess it'll have to be sent off or returned - neither of which are pleasant options.

But it sure is pretty, excellent industrial design on it;


Here's hoping they write back soon, otherwise I've got to figure out how to get/build a 220V 50Hz power supply. Would frequency even matter?

YOu are probly right that you just need to use a different tap on the transformer. The frequency shouldnt matter as it is probly all dc internally.

Agreed. I've now emailled and phoned/left message with Phonic - no reply to either after over a week. Sigh.


I also just noticed that there's a "100 VAC" setting... like where on earth is 100VAC????

100V is used in parts of Japan I believe.
