Power conditoner..
I have a stand by generator for my house. I've noticed when we have an outage & the generator kicks on the lights in the house are brighter. They are getting a full 120v. Because of this I thought a power regenerator would make a big difference in my stereo. I installed a PS Audio Stellar 3 Power Plant & I can't tell any difference. Oh well, live & learn.
Your amp doesn't care much what voltage it gets so long as it is in the range. Get a voltmeter, you may find your generator is putting out 130 volts. but it is disappointing that you don't see any improvement from the PP. Are you using heavy power cords (10 awg, at least 12) from the wall to the PP and from the PP to the amp? I use PP10 with excellent results. Jerry |
@fertguy the PP is programmable to put out whatever voltage you want. Like I said, the voltage doesn't matter. the quality of the sine wave is what does. If you are getting no improvement, the power supply in your amp (and other equipment) must be very good and manages the noise in the wall power. What amp do you have? Jerry |
@esarhaddon1 I don't mean 60V but 110 is fine and no place in the US has less than 110V now. Indeed, a tube amp bias needs adjustment for different voltage. That's why a power inverter like the PS audio is great for tube amps. It does make it a little boring--never getting to touch the bias adjustment knob. Hope you're having a great audio sunday.
