    After a few years with only the odd item appearing on eBay, there's been a rush of John Farlowe era Exposure amps recently. Plenty of VI and VII, the odd IV, even XI and XII. The Super XVIII Monos are one of the most highly rated and are as rare as hen's teeth. I had a single Super XVIII a few years ago and it was so nearly the end of the journey for me.

My guess is that if your mains did run at the published 230v "standard" it would be OK but the variation that you experience makes it a gamble. But I'm no expert so will await someone who is...

    getting a regenerator would allow 220v stuff to work safely as it outputs 230v, or the ones ive heard of do. other possible is a variac set up, which i have too.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Lot of money to fork out for a development hack that clearly wasn't taken up as a product. Be interesting if they reappear having failed to sell as the amount they are at at the moment is about what you can sometimes pick up a pukka pair of Canterbury 15s for.

    I think you forgot to finish the sentence. More like "Bargain my arse!"
