Not sure if I need a 240vac?

[rsumi]

Hello - Sorry for my silly question. I'm completely new to this and excited to order my kit but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to go with a 120VAC or 240VAC. I have no idea what that means or what they do. I'm pairing them up with Sennheiser 650s.

I'm planning on also ordering the speedball upgrade but not sure if I need any additional upgrades like the black molded IEC power cord. All I know is the bottlehead badge is a required option . Thanks!

No, you need the standard (120V AC) transformer.

No, you need the standard (120V AC) transformer.

So a lot of the world uses Non-Standard voltage??

That little blip in west Africa got me curious too, turns out its Liberia which has a rather interesting history.

Thanks guys! Whats your opinion on the power cord?

I built a power cord using Belden 19064 (I think) cable, a right angle plug to go to the amp, Wattgate for the power strip, covered with techflex. The cable is shielded and I find the noise floor reduced. The point is the Crack does respond to power cord differences
