I use some McIntosh MC 60s made in 1960, makes them 57 years. Use them every day. Terry Dewick is my friend. 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Balanced power works for me. When the funds become available I will be purchasing the 1800 for my amplifiers. I have a BPT 3.5 Sig + on my front end and I agree, balanced power should be considered the foundation  of a music system. The whole theo... 
Last stylus preservative...anyone still use it?

Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal?
Having spoken to a couple of manufacturers about their amps it seems that the use of low or zero negative feedback can leave an amp vulnerable to slight hum.  
Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black

Silk Transformers-anyone used them? 
Ry Cooder recommendation...
Here you go. Down at the Field-1974 broadcast where he played to an audience of 200 in Denver. I would say that’s about as stripped down as you will get. Solo.You can You Tube Terry Evans and Hans Theessink featuring Ry. Two albums, great recordin... 
Time for dedicated outlets!
