Low incoming voltage


Any way to increase incoming voltage?. I am constantly at 109-111V during most of the day. I just happen to be on a leg with many Cannabis factories here in Mich and my local electric service provider (DTE) says this is the main reason. 
I do not think I will get any relief from them and will probably be ok when the weather cools, but very frustrating when I don't have enough juice to efficiently run a pair of monoblocks in a room I just built for listening.
Any ideas on how to increase voltage?.  I have  native 200 amp service.  
Thanks for any input,
Russ

You're getting a steady 109-111V. So what again is the problem? None that I can see. Other than incompetent democrat government. But I repeat myself. But as far as electricity goes, there is no problem. US voltage is just as often quoted as 110 as 120, in either case its nominal, with zero ill effects anywhere in that range. Higher is marginally better but this just isn't anywhere near worth spending money on. Especially not when it immediately puts you in a situation of trying to find something high enough quality to not actually make things worse. If you were talking 105V that would be one thing. 109 to 111 is precisely where you ought to be, 110.

As for properly running your amps, by far the largest load they present is right at turn-on. Once their power supplies are charged then it becomes music draw, which even if your last name is VanHalen you still cannot draw as much playing music as charging the caps at turn-on. So relax. Visit the cannabis shop, get yourself some nice stinky green bud. Make the most of it.
