Why doesn't the power supply circuit in a typical tube or SS pre-amp or power amp self-correct utility power "Gremlins"?
I run ARC all-tube gear. Although there's not a lot of other stuff on the same circuit (i.e., from the outlet to the circuit breaker box), the ARC tube gear draws quite a bit of power even at idle. For example, at idle, the amp alone draws about 400 watts. Probably double that when it's "crankin."
I guess my concern is that if the consensus is that the PP regenerator is the way to go, a word to the wary, big $$$. Anyone know if there's a used market for that gear??
