I have never found the in rush limiter to reduce voltage on turn on,only current if you were to measure it. It does prevent arcing of tubes and reduces the chance of damage to filter caps ..Mcintosh used them for years in the Mc240,Mc275,Mc225,and the monos with a SS power supply.
They do work well tho.
