Title: Amplifier Power Regulator or Voltage Regulator question Post by: Toppscore on February 13, 2013, 03:29:56 PM Hi!
Anybody use and recommend power regulators that'll manage to lower typical 120v power from home wall circuit outputs or bar/club/hall power electrical outputs? I'd like to get my amps' power down to the 110v - 120v and make sure they are not using dirty high currents that'll wreck some of the components. Also, a quality regulator that I can visually see the settings. I have two expensive rackmount Furman six plug line conditioners, but I believe they are more for surge, spike and brown-out management power conditioners ~ rather than voltage regulators. Any good product recommendations you like? or have used? Thanks.

I use one of these with a vintage Hiwatt, works like a charm! My line voltages are between 120 and 123volts and the apc gets me down to 108 to 110volts, The Hiwatt doesn't want to see anything higher then 115volts max. Hiwatts have a weak bias winding. http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=le1200 Title: Re: Amplifier Power Regulator or Voltage Regulator question Post by: Toppscore on February 16, 2013, 02:53:25 AM Hey Toppscore, I use one of these with a vintage Hiwatt, works like a charm!

I am looking for one that has a variable manual variac voltage regulator and a good meter to see what is happening. Have you seen the Tone Preserver or the Amp Maniac? Following are three I like, as well as the Amp Manic: http://www.ebay.com/itm/380453842256?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/itm/110542427997?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/itm/111000907515?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 |
