Voltage from outlet question

Hi everyone,

I recently moved to a new apartment and set up my audio gear. I have a Furman power conditioner that has an LED readout with the voltage coming in. At my old apartment it always read 121 or 122 (I think I saw it at 120 a couple of times). At my new place, however, it usually reads between 115 and 117, and I've seen it drop as far as 112. I've never seen it any higher than 118. I'm wondering what impact this might be having on the sound and if there is anything that I can do to stabilize/improve the power coming from the wall outlet.

Thanks for your insight,
Scott

Thanks for all the responses. I am definitely going to change the outlet. I think a power regenerator is probably out of my price range at this point, so I'll go with the outlet change and see what a difference that makes.

Cheers,
Scott
