No, it wasn't April 1. I too have used 50/60 Hz equipment such as the SB200 on
50 Hz without any trouble. I've also used 115v/60 Hz. US gear with step-down
transformers on 230v/50 Hz. However, larger transformers can be built for 60
Hz. only and in the case of the transformer rated at approximately 3kva CCS
which I used, Dahl told me that a 50 Hz. rating was neccessary.
