For starters its a couple of krauts, not from USA and second to answer why it "shouldnt be possible" 120v equipment has FLAT prongs on the plug with narrow spacing ( all western hemisphere standard) 220 Euro plugs are ROUND prongs with a slightly wider spacing. you CANT plug a 120 appliance into a 220 line unless you jury rig the cord or place an adapter on it, Then you DESERVE to fry the component if used without transformer, Stupid Europeans

Why do you say it wouldn't happen? What would happen. If not why?

Latest comment: "I feel thoroughly enlightened and yet somehow ashamed to be European. Thanks for that. I wont point out the range of adaptors that are widely available on the high street let alone in a workshop such as this... or that Americans are still stupid. "

GoldenLax is either a. American or b. Trying for citizenship and this is the on-line test.

What the f*** has a bee got to do with spelling anyway??? Americans is ALWAYS spelt with a silent S t u p i d. Every English speaking Englishman knows that. It's proper English without an accent.
