Depends on the gear....
Would NOT want to see it any higher, 117V to 125V is a good margin..
Gear like Focusrite, ISA, Amek, Oram, runs hot on 120V, 134V would put it over the top...
Just checked it with the monster strips, I have 6 in use in the studio and a spare that I used to check all of the other outlets in the house. I am going to buy a dedicated multimeter today to monitor from this point.
