Help on Power conditioner

In my house the Power having a fluctuation and found voltage variation between day and night times. Here the voltage 230v and day time we are getting 210v and night time 220-230v.

I have pass lab xa.5 mono blocks hence I am worried about the safety. So, You all suggest me the best stabilizer or conditioner with surge production to buy.

One of my friend has informed me that Pass is not recommended any power stabilizer, conditioner or re generators. Is it correct ?

Any one using these kind of accessories for Pass lab products? How the performance
of the amps using these accessories?

I am expecting suggestions and advise from you all.

Thanks in advance.

All equipment designed to placed on European market since 1995 has to operate at 230V +/-10%. 180-190V is low but it should not damage anything. Why would you like to control fluctuations? Does it affect the sound?

No Kijanki, only am worried about saftey. Becoz sending for repair the unit to manufacturer is a new amp cost for me.

Rabbani, it sounds like you have undervoltage problem. It should not destroy anything. If it doesn't affect the sound leave it alone. Still, voltage spike caused by lightning or nearby inductive loads (like motors) switching is always possible. I use Furman Elite 20PFI that has strong non-sacrificial over/undervoltage protection. It provides high peak current by employing big capacitor and big inductor that store energy. I cannot hear any difference in dynamics with my power amp. It also have separate outlet banks for low current audio and also for video. Those banks have strong filters that clean all the junk from the power line before it enters my system.
