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?

Try a voltage stabalizer...Monster makes one, as well as CinePro. I'm sure there are others. None I know of that do line conditioning AND stabalizing. Good luck.

I hope to see Moscow someday...

If Tripplite makes a 220 unit this might be a good bet. It's not designed for audiophile equipment, and I probably would not normally recommend it. However, in your extreme case, it does do voltage correcting and could be a good answer to your problems. The PS Audio is another option, they completely regenerate the power, and this would probably be a very very good option--but considerably more expensive.
