I’ve seen people say 200V too and, as i say, I’ve seen some say 195V too. It’s working fine (well...) at 190V and I’d have thought it’d be even easier for the set at 190V. Should I raise it or leave be? I’m surprised that even a 5V difference improves reliability so much.

I've set several of my A823's to around 190-195v whether it makes a difference or not because on occasion the pot has become intermittent and it has shot up to 220-ish volts
Whats the likelihood of that happening with a G8 pot? I’ve cleaned the track so hopefully there shouldn’t be a fault there, but the actual pot itself? In the threads I’ve read I’ve not seen that mentioned on the G8, but as I’ve no prior experience on G8s (or any other set really) I don’t know what does and doesn’t go wrong.
