    The saggy Mesa traff could be the result of running it on 50Hz? Does it get hotter than you would expect?
    Yes - although it is supposedly the proper export model, it's 240V-only.

    I think this is an inherent characteristic of the amp though - that's what gives them the well-known sag, I think. Just for clarity, this is in solid-state rectifier mode too, although obviously it's much more so in valve rectifier mode.
