RE: Excess Line Voltage vs Amplifier Sound
Posted by DAK on January 8, 2017 at 21:07:30:
Plugging your amp into a line conditioner that outputs 117v is an easy way around the problem. Just be sure you get a unit that has enough current capacity for your needs.
There are things you can do to the power supply during the rebuild to bring your amps' B+ down. Increasing the size of the resistors in the filter supply or adding a choke if space permits or another choke can reduce the B+ and improve the sound quality of your amp.
