Are you sure? If you're correct, your voltage is quite low and out of spec. Nominal voltage in the US is 120VAC ± 5 percent, so you should measure 114VAC minimum.My exact voltage is 114.8v. You are correct that 120v is standard, however voltages vary greatly depending on your grid. Regardless of voltage, are cheap ac conditioners worth it?
Power Conditioners
I have about $5,000 invested in a 2 channel stereo setup. Marantz PM7000N integrated receiver, Canton Chrono SL596 speakers, Rega P6 table, blue jeans Canare 4S11 cables. Is it worth it to buy a cheap power conditioner/protector like this

Will I be able to hear a difference/is my equipment sensitive enough to notice a difference; or will a typical surge protector suffice? Otherwise, will it be a waste of money to spend money on a low priced conditioner?
Thanks!
