update : AC line changes causing changes in THD% ...

I was monitoring the AC line to see if changes to the mains voltage (120VAC) would cause changes to THD% at the output of my amp.

There was a dryer running on the same 50A subpanel as my amp.

Sure enough, if the AC line would sag a bit (about 2.5V) the THD% would increase by as much as .07 - .1% @ 1.2W power output.

The noise performance seemed to suffer a bit while the dryer was running as well.
