Hey, it's good to do something right.....well one extra thing anyway!
Btw, any claim of more power regarding the advantage of higher mains voltage is likely more wishful thinking than anything else…
- Really would need to know more about the power supply design, but more higher AC input voltage may not yield any significant increase in amplifier output. The ATI (Trinnov‘s apparent supplier) specs claim that current is about half when the input voltage is doubled. In simple terms, little or no increase in available power.
- US residential incoming line voltage is 240VAC. While most house wiring is 120VAC, we do have 240 available when needed. My workbench has 240V available for amplifier testing. So just like 20A service, 240V service is simply a matter of (typically additional) wiring. Based on the ATI spec, spending anything more for higher voltage service would be useless.
