Adcom GFA-555 in Mexico on 127 volts?

Before anyone gets all ethnic, I've also lived in a modern high rise in San Francisco and needed a voltage regulator there. Less black outs, but daily variance in voltage was on the very edge of acceptable.

I'm now in a mid-century complex and voltage is much more stable.

I don't know about Mexico,  but here in Arkansas, My voltage fluctuates from as low as 119 to as high as 125.  My power conditioner shows current input. Everything runs fine without issue.

The GFA 555 is built like a tank. Mr. Pass did one fine job. I still have mine from the 80's. (I really need to sell it).

I'm not going to get all ethnic, but I will get all budgetary because a $2000 surge suppressor is a little bit much.  Surely a $200 unit would suffice.

The price problem is related to voltage regulation. Voltage regulation requires transformers, which is heavy and therefore expensive.

I think most in the US are fine without them. If you are asking me about running in Mexico, I'd say it was a requirement.

TRUE voltage regulators usually start in the $300-$500 range. Then it's a matter of what else do you want? :)

The SMP (series mode surge suppression) is the one thing I think all power conditioners should have for valuable audio gear, plus it has nice noise suppression all on its own.

I find the LiFT feature in Furman units to offer genuine improvement in sound quality thanks to a lower noise floor. But it IS another step up in price.
