I've run mags and rios off "modified sine wave" supplies (most inverters and UPS) for up to 9 hours at a time (last years power failure) and they are still running fine today. I do notice they run a tad louder do to the "abrupt" waveform shape, but no warmer.
It's not like they are precision motors, just a magnet and coil...
