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.

You're right on the edge of being high enough to cause damage to some gear. Much of this will depend on the individual component and how it is designed.

Keep an eye on the voltage for a few days and chart the voltages and the day / time that you take those readings. If this is a regular occurance or only occurs at certain times, , being able to provide the power provider with specifics may help them to rectify the situation. Sean
