kuma,I'll have to admit I don't know if you can purchase an AC voltage regulator, especially for audio ... all I've ever seen are basically filters and spike protectors, sometimes combined with isolation trasformers. Electricians talk about "clean" vs "dirty" power, I haven't heard any speak of "regulated", but I'll ask one of the subcontrators we work with ... he supplied the UPS system for my office, will run three 20 amp circuits for over four hours.
The PS Audio balanced AC re-generators are very interesting, and looking at their website I do see a 1200 watt unit (10 amps at 120VAC), but you're talking some serious bucks.
I assume you're looking for some way to fix your line voltage so that bias supply, heaters, etc. don't drift with your AC line? Those functions are typically handled with active DC regulation. It's a nice concept, especially for those that don't like active DC regulators ... just fix the AC at 110 or whatever and forget it.
