Getting on an airplane in 5 minutes. I'll write more when we get on shipboard tomorrow.
Thanks for the valid feedback. I had considered a regeneration plant for a while, but found it too expensive for the relatively minor need I'm facing. In addition, my Isolation Transformer is doing everything else, except voltage regulation (at least to the extent needed during demand peak times in my place).I would not be too concerned with limited dynamics from a second device in tandem, since my amp is a SEP class A, running at only 4 Watts/Ch RMS @ 8 Ohms of speaker impedance (consumption of 70 Watts/Hr) and my speakers are 98 dBs @ 1 W/1 M.I do not think voltage fluctuations are only affecting SPL. Even though well designed digital components are well protected against voltage fluctuation damage, the statement would imply all power cords are the same and all conditioners are also the same, as each component has its own inner protection devices ... Not in my view. I expect their 'performance' not to be affected either, as it would in turn impact sound quality.I'll probably live with the issue, avoiding as much as posible peak demand periods when I listen, since apparently the potential solutions are not really feasible. My system sounds great as it is, I just wanted to make sure I'm not loosing sound quality stemming from voltage fluctuations.I may also consider a dedicated circuit only for my audio gear, although this would not prevent voltage fluctuations coming from the power supplier.Thanks again for the pointers.
