RE: Also concerned about in-rush current

Should I be concerned about in-rush current to the isolation transformer?
The current (sorry for the pun) configuration and start-up process is as follows: The transformer is plugged into a dedicated 20 amp line with one Oyaide R-0 duplex. My ARC SP8 MkII is plugged into the R-0 duplex and the transformer is plugged into the other outlet of that duplex. The Jolida JD100 cd player is plugged into the transformer through a Leviton MRI 8300 AC duplex. The other outlet is not used and is covered over by one of Oyaide's sendust covered blank filler plugs, if you get what I mean. My start-up is as follows: Switch breaker at service panel on, power up cd player at players power switch, power up Pre Amp at its power switch with mute engaged, wait 45 seconds until mute circuit has done its job, turn mute off, play music. I have gotten readings of 125 and 125.3 volts with the multi-meter at those duplex outlets. Cd player operates at 120v, normal in this day and time, Pre runs at 117v and I am a little concerned that the voltage increase/variation might be a little tuff on the power supply of the now 25 year old pre-amp. Should I be? The start up process should negate the in-rush current concern, kinda thinking out loud on this. Thanks and sorry its so lengthy.
