Line voltage is 116 not 120 why?


I measured my line voltage with a volt meter it stayed steady at 116 shouldn't it be 120.Will this effect the sound of my amp since the voltage is lower?Can anything be done to bring it up to 120?

Magfan - Open minded people get extra benefit of better sound thru placebo effect while sceptics and "scientists" will never get improvement in cabling.
OUCH!
I've always been pretty skeptical. Claims which are noted but not repeatable are always.....suspect.
I've heard enough people complain about amps thru pcs that when my sound changed for the worse thru such a conditioner, I was convinced of at least that.

I can get a cable to make a difference....easily. Just hook my current hog, fairly low impedance panels up to my 500x2 4ohm amp....using 18ga wire. or stick a small value cap across the outputs.
Magfan - It is possible that I don't have any loss of dynamics with conditioner because of SMPS that is regulated. If conditioner drops voltage at high current peaks SMPS is responding fast holding regulated voltage on the output. Icepower class D amps were praised in few reviews for holding composure during loud, heavy orchestral pieces. It might be because of this SMPS. Traditional power supply can do the same with a lot of electrolytic capacitors.
