Using a shore power isolation transformer at home?
Mrtennis,It is hard to know remotely, but wrong volage is probably the easiest thing to detect, just measure it. If it is indeed too low, might be possible to demand your power company to fix it.

Face,Isolation transformer is to address the input transformer vibration that is caused by something in the AC. Fluctuations are to be addressed by that servo-regulated variac. Sorry, I brought another topic under the same thread.

Oil change every 10,000 kWh, as usual :)

Sorry, I forgot to tell what Monsters AVS 2000. Here is a photo: http://www.bukutronics.com/?p=54. Besides those "high voltage suppressor" and "radio frequency suppressor" (see here) which I will surely bypass before I use a unit, this is nothing ...

throw away, I mean :)

Just looked at this diagram from Monsters of their AVS 2000.Probably, I will through away all pre-transformer filters, to make it even less intrusive.

Thanks for the response,Could you please have a look at the "clone" of this topic? I am not sure exactly how, two clones of this threads have been created.Here: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1310119673&openfrom&1&4#...

Voltage is unstable, and I want 120V sharp. Isn't a servo stabilizer the way to do that in a non-limiting, neutral fashion?

Why not? 
Using a shore power isolation transformer at home?
Thanks, that was very detailed!I am planning to install a dedicated line, and I am comparing the possibilities. Right now I have two main issues with power:(1) sometimes the power transformer of my amp hums much louder than it should, and some "fr...

Ngjockey, thanks!Can you please clarify what do you exactly mean by "grounded input"? Shortening the neutral THAT COMES FROM THE PANEL TO THE TRANSFORMER to ground? Why is that a good idea? I've never heard of doing that (I am not very experienced...

Thanks!

Why are they not the same, from the electrical point of view? 
When does a 5V4G/GZ32 have to be replaced?
I guess you guys are right (and I was wrong), the actual potential on the filament is quite high. Of course, it is still not a big deal to measure, but one shall be careful and not get fooled by the 5V specs :)Anyways, I guess I have no reason to ... 
When does a 5V4G/GZ32 have to be replaced?
Hi Guys,Thanks a lot! Btw, is it possible to receive e-mail notifications when my thread is answered?I do have schematics of my amp. In particular, unlike the Dynaco, in my case 5V4G has its own secondary that is used just for its filament, so the...
