RE: Excess Line Voltage vs Amplifier Sound
Posted by 91derlust on January 8, 2017 at 23:35:17:
A ~10% increase in line voltage is saturating the transformer core? I'd prefer a transformer with more headroom than that.
Filament/heater over-voltage could also be cause of the sonic issues you mention... and will reduce tube life.
Cheers,
