110V won't cause any problems, however, You may want to get a power conditioner that keeps the voltage at 120V.
Voltage fluctuations
I recently moved. Along with the new house, I also got fluctuating voltage to my system. This is a problem I have read about in the past but have never experienced. The lowest it has ever dropped is 110v. My biggest power consumers are my power amp, ht receiver, two sub-woofers, and an LCD flat-panel. Can 110v create any problems for my equipment?

I don't think that a constant 110v would be too problematic. The more serious concern is the fluctuation. You don't need to have a catastrophic lighting strike. Even little surges of power are very damaging to electronics over time. You may want to consider a voltage stabilizer. Here's a link you can follow for Monsters', although I am sure you could find others if you prefer. http://www.monstercable.com/power/ |
A power conditioner cannot adjust your voltage higher than what's coming out of the wall socket, unless it is a regenerator. Those are designed to generate the proper voltage and eliminate fluctuation, IE: (http://stereophile.com/powerlineaccessories/181/) 110v won't cause any actual damage to you system, but it's sonics may suffer slightly from the lack. With two large tubed monoblocks, a 255wpc woofer amp and tubed output section in my CDP, I've got a bit of current draw. I turn off the air conditioner and don't run any appliances while listening to the system. That keeps my listening room's voltage at a steady 120. |
