Thanks, that was very detailed!
I am planning to install a dedicated line, and I am comparing the possibilities. Right now I have two main issues with power:
(1) sometimes the power transformer of my amp hums much louder than it should, and some "fraction" of this noise even penetrates into the speakers;
(2) the AC voltage can be anything from 118 to 124.
The former I hope to cure with a dedicated line (probably w/o any isolated transformer to start with).
The latter (which probably does not affect the sounding too much, but drives me crazy when I want to set the optimal regime for the tubes in my amp) I plan to cure with Monster's AVS 2000 variac+servo (I am almost ashamed to use anything from those bastards, but it looks like these servo-stabilizers are their only product that does what it says and is priced adequately, if buying used).
To have a layer of protection just in case AVS 2000 goes crazy, I plan to put PS Audio's Duet between it and my tube amp.
Does this all make any sense?
