Question about the 240VAC power transformer

[Nightloyd]

Hello everyone!
So i use the Sennheiser HD600 with my Asus Xonar Essence STX and it's probably not good enough for the HD600, so i heard over at Head-fi that the Crack OTL is wonderful for the HD600.
But since i live in Sweden and not the US i probably need the 240VAC power transformer.
So my first question is this: Does the "240VAC power transformer" support 50Hz?
And my second question is this: Do Bottlehead ship to Sweden and if so will the shipping fees be enormous?

The 240V transformers are intended for 50Hz.  There are a lot of Bottlehead equipment in Europe.  Now only a few products don't have a 240V transformer available.  The real problem is they only make a few at a time because the biggest demand is in North America.

I believe we have a Bottlehead in Norway, I can't imagine they won't ship to Sweden.  I have no idea of the shipping costs.  I'm sure someone at Bottlehead World Headquarters will chime in.

Yes, our 240V transformers are designed for 50Hz and we send many kits to countries with 240V 50Hz power. About the only country I would be concerned with is Afghanistan, where the 240VAC mains supposedly range from 160V to 280V!

Eileen is not in the office today, but I'm sure she can give you a shipping quote when she is back tomorrow. Her email is queen at bottlehead dot com.
