Help for power conditioning of changing current

I live in Moscow, where the audiophile has two problems: 1.) The line is usually not earthed. I got that, with great cost. The voltage here, however, which in Russia like in the rest of Europe is supposed to be 220 Volt, is not only heavvy polluted, but changes rapidly to 200 volt or even lower - or higher. Does anybody know a power line conditioner/filter that might solve these problems and give me a)protection for the equipment (McIntosh C200 preampt, amp, Shahinian Diapason speakers) and b) better sound?

A power-conditioning isolation transformer will help - especially with a 10% voltage swing. Try

Or http://www.mcmaster-carr.com
Look under "transformers" "power-conditioning". I know that Sola has an Eastern European web-site and their products are readily available in 50 hz - not sure about McMaster-Carr's. Best of luck.

Since you are in Europe, go to the DeZorel power conditioners: www.dezorel.com

You can e-mail Miki and he'll help you with your particular situation. They are in Yugoslavia.

I would agree with Rives regarding the PS Audio Power Plants. They give you rock stable output voltage, and also allow you to vary the output frequency and waveform. These devices are fully surge protected as well. The improvement in sound is nothing short of incredible!

Good luck,
Mike
