Using a voltage regulator

I guess what I am looking for is the ability to energize my equipment at a reasonable voltage level without having the APC constantly reverting to battery back-up. It wouldn't take long to run out of battery if the monos, et al were in full swing. As it is, the system is operating on about 130-135 volts most of the time. I think that is too high. I don't mind the alarm per se, glad to have it but prefer that the voltage remain steady throughout at 110V. That is what has prompted my question about the feasibility of installing a voltage regulator between the wall outlet and the APC. I'm just not knowledgeable enough to know if that would be a harmful set-up in any way.

Mceljo: What you have is what I need. That is exactly how my other regulators work on the computers, etc. Going back to my original thought - if a voltage regulator reduced the high voltage spikes back to 110V BEFORE sending the power on to the APC would this in some way be harmful to the APC or SQ?

I can't imagine how. It might limit current and that can have a negative effect on sound quality, but it won't damage anything.

That's what I was thinking also. Anybody else?

OK! The verdict is in! I hooked up one of my voltage regulators in between the wall and the APC. According to the APC it is putting out a steady 118-119V to the APC. SQ you ask? Can't tell the difference. My peace of mind? Much better.

I have left the APC alarm setting at 134V as a "just in case".

Thanks for your input.
