Sag...

Charles,

A tired rectifier starts to sag too early. Sometimes, guys think the power tubes are tired, as the tone with a tired rectifier is similar. Weak transients, early onset of distortion, flabby bass, odd overtones in midrange and high when the unit is pushed.

As stated by the others, best to try a new replacement unit---and I like using new rectifiers on healthy power tubes, as the new rectifier can push a marginal power tube over the edge.
