Hmmm the high voltage perked my interest. Just took the multimeter and did some checking. My 120v outlets are reading at 128v and it's noon with the outside temperature at 88 degrees and rising.
Makes me wonder????

How to fight dirty power - I need your help
My system is AMC CD8B-Zucable Oxyfuel-CREEK-OHM12-Zucable Disco-Odyssey Stratos-Groneberg Quattro Reference-Migrage OM-10. My amp is directly plugged into a FIM outlet in the wall. The other component went through a Monster HTS2000. The voltage in my house is relatively high, usually in the range of 126-130V. The sound from my system is sometimes very good, but sometimes, especially in the evening, is tasteless. I believe the main reason is dirty power and high voltage. I’m trying to figure out an inexpensive way to fight the power problems. I don’t want to spend $1000-2000 to buy a power regulator. I’m thinking variac, but heard different opinions. I guess the result to some degree is system dependent. Now I need to figure out what is the key component that lowered sound quality when voltage is high or the power supply is dirty-CD player? Amp? What is the best way to solve the problem?
