Better Maggie "feet" ?
Thanks people. I actually did order a pair of stands from soundanchor, they couldn't have been nicer to deal with... a nice aside to a good product. 
best 100- 200 used interconnect
Try audioquest Emerald or Viper 
Hissing sound from right speaker
you may be losing a tube , move them from right to left and see if the hiss follows. 
Any scientific data on cable burn-in?

Why the lack of interest in Accuphase?

Help Me Get Out Of The Dark Ages
My first choice would be Magnepans 1.6 for about 1500. Leaves plenty of cash for cables 
What is the best amp setup for Magnepan 3.6 ?
I have the predecessor to your 3.6 the 3.5 and I have gotten EXCELENT results using BAT electronics. Currently I am using a vk3i and vk500 but i have heard the set up using a vk200 which would be within your price range even including some good qu...

powercords for BAT amp&preamp?
Believe it or not the power cords I got here on AGon from GTT Audio are Excellent. Open and Smooth and 50 bucks each! (My vk500 needs 2). Give them a call or email,they are willing to talk. 
Vandersteen 2ce upgrade?
My nirvana was found at Magnepan. Moved up from vandersteen 1Bs to 2CEs then discovered the magic of planar speakers. Admittedly not for everyone but you should at least try them, they really are amazing, 
which powercord? jps,esp,shunyata....?
have to agree with marcel, the apc power cords are EXCELENT, regardless of the 49.00 price tag. I am using two on a BAT VK500. they give an even more open and easy sound. Right up there with my synergistic cables.
