| I use a VOLTAGE REGULATOR on my amp to keep the current constant . No more volume peaks and valleys . There's a difference in conditioners and regulators tho . |

If that is the case, then wouldn't you actually be using a CURRENT REGULATOR? (Sounds dicey to me.) |

It is called a LINE VOLTAGE REGULATOR ** Current could be almost any value . This keeps the line voltage at a constant 120 volts plus or minus a couple of volts . **  |

| I don't use a "regulator" but I do use a good quality surge protector power strip for everything. |

| Balance transformer at home. Too heavy to carry around. |

I use quite a high end Furman.
It tells you the current via a series of lights when you turn it on and regulates the current to put it in line. If the current is too out of whack, it disconnects before you fry your equipment.
The unit I use is rack mounted but it is also made in a free standiang configuration.

I believe that is a surge protector only--no voltage regulation. |

Hi Dan, I use this Furman AR-1215 voltage regulator/conditioner. Excellent for the summer on outside jobs. Also use it in old buildings that are known for poor voltage. The rack is a SKB 2-space, that protects the unit traveling. It's pricy, but so are amp repair shops. D.D. |
