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.  Toppscore Smiley

Hey Toppscore,
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.

Thanks.  I checked online and these are $60 or less.
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:
