I've got a few power related questions I'm hoping someone in the know can help me with. About a week ago I turned on my Transporter to settle into an evening of music when it fired up and presented me with a short message along the lines of "A/C over voltage" or "A/C Voltage Exceeded". I unplugged it and tried it again a little later (different power socket) and all was well.
The incident got me thinking about the power coming into my music room (and my house for that matter) and whether I should go out and get a power conditioner that will ensure I don't fry my audio equipment (replacement is not an option). Last night while using the Transporter I had a peek at the Transporter's voltage via iPeng and I was surprised to see it showed 211v (we're 230V A/C in this neck of the woods). Based on the above observations I'm guessing that the power supply in my area isn't all that stable. So my questions are: 1) does an under voltage situation like that above pose any risks to my audio components (Transporter, Preamp, Active Speakers) 2) does an under voltage situation like that above affect what you hear? 3) would I be better off purchasing a power conditioner that stops oversupply getting to my audio components or getting an integrated a/c voltage regulator and power conditioner in one? -- audiomuze IF YOU WANT CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR CUSTOMSCAN AND CUSTOMBROWSE PLUGINS, VOTE FOR 'BUG #6023 - NEW PLUGIN HOOKS TO IMPLEMENT SCANNING FUNCTIONS' (HTTPS://BUGS.SLIMDEVICES.COM/SHOW_BUG.CGI?ID=6023) AND LET PLUGIN DEVELOPERS DO WHAT LOGITECH WON'T.
