Hi there!
I'm from Argentina and I want to buy a Pass Labs X350 power amp from the US market (audiogon)
So, is there anyone that know how and whether it's possible to convert the ampli to the EU voltage/Hertz i.e. from the 110v/60Hz to 220v/50Hz?
Thanks!!!!!!!

X350 had a dual tapped primary transformer. For 120V
operation the primary taps are run in parallel and for 240V
they are run in series. A competent technician should be
able to make the alteration.

Ha, you wish. But a competent tech will have no problem spotting the correct taps. I wouldn't be surprised if it is even marked on the silkscreen. Soldered or screwed?
Here's how it probably looks inside: Pass Labs X350 Inside - micsp15's Gallery - Canuck Audio Mart
Hi guys, Does everybody know if Nelson's comments relate to the pre-amps as well? I mean is it possible to change 120V -> 240V the same way in X2.5 pre?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Kaz

according to info I have , you can configure it's toroid primary to whatever between 100 and 240Vac
Is there any information available whether on the newest .8 models the voltage can be changed. (From 120v to 220v-240v)
These have dedicated transformers for each Voltage so no.
The next question is:
Can I trade in a 120V Pass Labs transformer for a 240V one.
Please
Pretty Please
Hahahaha

It would be practical to purchase the transformer and install it locally.
For that case, we are back to calling Kent at Pass Labs.
Always going the extra mile to help.
You are a bloody legend.
Is Kent persuaded with alcohol? Hahahaha
110v to 240v
Sorry to be a PITA Nelson, but is it the same on the X100.5 monoblocks?
I ask as I can get a pair of these for the same price as a X350.5. Only the shipping will cost more due to the extra weight. From what I have read, there is a small increase in audio quality when going from a X250.5 to a X350.5, but a huge increase when going from a X250.5 to X100.5 monoblocks. Plus I don't have to worry about a wife's approval! many people have commented when they see the amount of audio gear in my house that "you don't have a wife, do you".
