In Reply to: I have heard the same thing about operating Voltages and Cap... posted by Cougar on June 21, 2016 at 18:10:45:
After I posted the above, I recalled that it was Kondo-san of Audio Note fame who is said to have expounded on this issue. Perhaps it was Art Dudley, or someone else of Art's stature, who re-stated what Kondo is said to have said. (Since I don't read Japanese, I of course have no direct idea what Kondo might have said.)
However, I don't recall anyone specifying a 5V margin; that IS cutting it close. The potential danger of going so close to the limit is that upon turn-on, in many types of gear, there is a transient voltage surge due to capacitors getting charged up. Probably not much of a problem in equipment using tube rectification or choke input filtering, but most modern stuff uses solid state rectification and capacitor-input filtering, where such a phenomenon does occur.
