    not if you're implying that the supply is reduced by the demand. I've not come across mains voltage below 240v and mostly around 245v. All the talk around power supplies is tosh

    "You're not from Chicago!"

    .... or from the North or Midlands. My power supply varies a lot. When I commissioned a power amp for my Maggies I was asked to check the mains voltage so that the bias could be set. I checked several times and it never fell below 247v. However, a while back I noticed some deterioration in the sound from my hifi and it was 233v.
