Choosing a transformer tap -- voltage question

Tweakers' Asylum

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

I run an Arcam CD player through an isolation transformer with some choice of output taps. Player says it wants 115V. Power out of the wall runs around 125V; when I measure the output taps I get 126-127V from the 120V tap, 115-116V from the 110V tap. Question: which tap to use? I realize voltage will drop a bit under a load, but I don't know how much, or how much this matters to the CD player.
