    Voltage Stabilizers make amplifiers run better?

    When you say your amplifier is producing less heat, how do you know? I mean did you do controlled temperature measurements under similar conditions (same operating time, etc.)? I'm not doubting your qualitative observation, but it should be confirmed. It is likely that the average AC voltage...
