Sorry I didn't see your post until just now. We use 50Hz cores for all voltages. The only one where we *might* get away with a 60Hz core would be the US - but then we would need a 120VAC @50Hz model for Taiwan. We already have 5 different single-primary winding voltages (100, 120, 220, 230, and 240), and the last thing I want to do is add a *sixth* transformer to save a few dollars for the US market.

Hope that helps,
Charles Hansen

PS - the reason we don't use multi-voltage primary windings is because the transformers don't sound as good.
