high ac voltage destrucive or not?


After reading all the threads about ac voltage these past few months I pulled out my handy dandy fluke meter and meaured about 126 volts ac out of the wall and 128 out of my powervar. For all the electical gurus is this harmful to the electonics or part of the variables in ac delivery , thanks for any help. system consist of pass 350, sfl2 preamp and audiologic dac.

In circuit design, a 50% voltage rating increase is typical so there is no problem with 128V. If your components get damaged by it, you know never to buy from those companies again.

Also, upper-level Fluke meters ARE true RMS (beyond model number 77 (or new 177) I think).
