240v Any reason not to use?


If a guy has cd/pre/amp that can all be 120 or 240 volt is there any reason not to use 240v? Or just the amp of 240v?

I seem to have a "drag" on my system. It always seems to be driving uphill, so to speak.

Thanks,
Marty

Wiring the amp for 240vac is a good idea.

It effectively makes the power supply in the amp larger and stiffer - which will help on creshendo and with complex passages, to whatever extent the amp circuitry can do the job. The power available from the amp will not change in any significant way.

I think you are playing things way too loud - 105 dB is way too loud for an average level. Way.

Average should be about 90 -92 at the listening position.
