Default Amplifier voltage

Hi guys,
with all this fuse trouble a few days ago,
I realized that I asked AC to convert my 2301's in 220V and actually France is using 230 V. I think this is no big deal for SS amps but would this cause some trouble to my tubes ?
Thanks in advance !
Jerome

Default God Bless AUDIO CLASSICS !

Thanks for your answers guys !

This is what Mike at AC told me :
for tubes, it is better to have the amp set on 240 V when the voltage provided is 230V. For SS, it does not really care.
He also showed me how to do it.
Very simple.
Conversion has now been made in 240 V.
I feel better.
Cheers,
Jerome.

PS : Did I say already how good Audio Classics are ? I did not even have to contact Mike ! they saw my post on the fuses and contacted me !! Isn't that SERVICE ?
