If you look at a Dentron 2500 amplifier on the = cct diagram=20 the 230v mains cable,  WHITE  wire goes to the ON/OFF switch = on=20 amplifier then primary of HT transformer which = to me is=20 HOT and BLACK wire goes directly to the other side of primary winding, = NEUTRAL=20 and GREEN to chassis.
In the UK the switch is always in the LIVE (hot) = wire and=20 NEUTRAL direct to the appliance except it happens to be a double=20 switch.
 
UK appliance BROWN live, BLUE neutral, plus an = earth wire=20  (3 wire appliance)

I have a USA amplifier with 230v input. The = mains=20 wires are BLACK, WHITE, and GREEN
 
The cct diagram shows White as the live wire = with=20 amplifier  mains switch in this line, Black goes to the other = end=20 directly to transformer primary
and Green to earth.
but
according to USA info the Black wire should = be Live=20 and White Neutral.
 
So beware !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
