I use a cheap wall wart that has switchable voltage. I run my two SDS-1s on 
the same wall wart with a splitter cable between. So, no it's nothing 
critical. Don't go up to 9 volts though 'cause you might fry something...

On semi-digital equipment going lower might prove interesting though with 
loss in sound quality which sometimes is very interesting... A friend did a 
track with a TB-303 where he slowly sucked the power out of it - interesting 
results!
