Hi guys, brand new here! Daunted but excited...

My awesome GF just bought me a Crack kit for my birthday to pair with my HD650's. Must admit I'm going to have to do some serious trawling of the forums and youtube to figure out how to solder etc.

First of all - my kit came with a US power ("kettle") cord. Does this mean my it is configured for 120v versus 240v Australian voltage? I had a look everywhere on the ordering/cart process and saw nowhere to check / request a voltage type.

Am I ok to proceed with my build, or do I need a different transformer?

Cheers in advance!

Was this bought from Bottlehead? When was it purchased?

If this is current production, then note on the Crack ordering page where it says:

Quote
This product has a universal power transformer and can be used worldwide by following the wiring instructions in the manual. Please note that international customers will need to provide their own power cord.

and further note pp. 23-29 of the manual.
