Mains voltage is 117v. Right now the variac is set at 104v. Below that point the platter starts to slow. By adjusting the eddy brake you can bring the speed back up. Below 92v the life just drops out of the music. So I need to do experimentation to find the sweet spot between 92v and 104v. I will probably wait until I get an Imbabi power supply before I make a final judgement.We live in a area where the power supply is very good. No voltage sag during the day and very little contamination on the lines either day or night. We have lived in our house for over 13 years and most of the light bulbs and fluourescent bulbs were in the house when we bought it. An EE said that the bulbs last so long because there are no spikes or surges in our power.
