Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: I usually see spikes this time of year

Temperatures fluctuate between needing air conditioning and needing heat, surprisingly often in the same day. When there's a cool patch, the utility hasn't reduced production yet, as it will heat up again very soon, and I'll see as high as 132 at the outlet. They're pretty good in peak demand summer, might sag to 118 or occasionally 114, but it's unusual.

I use a Variac to knock down those autumn spikes. I could ignore, but it starts running some of those vintage components beyond their design limits. Usual 120v hasn't been an issue.

Back for a bit again. Ignore me if you like.
