How much AC is too much.


Has anyone had any issues with high AC levels at home? I am receiving 123 to 126 volts at my home at times. What level is too much and could cause damage to equipment?

I heard that a lot of the power companies are no longer regulating the outside grid like they use to do. To save money they are not regulating the voltage level at some of the transformers. If you live near a transformer that is not regulated you could have issues.

Any recommendations on the best way to correct incomming voltage ... Variac , AC regenerator (PS Audio) ?

Looking at the bias level LEDs on my tube amp tells the story...they are all over the place at different times of day and I try to ignore them...I've checked these with a meter and clearly the neighborhood has juice issues. The amp seems to handle it fine.
