Anti-static socks with "star grounding" to the entire system. Allowing you to be as one with your system. Elimnating ang static or ground related issues. Of course including the optional matching gloves that doubles as a record cleaning brush. 
MIT cables and tubes, are they compatible?
My experence with older MIT cables,such as the 350 twins or the CVT serries has been extremely positive. My main amplifiers are Manley 250's. I use MIT 350 twins,(single ended) interconcts and 750CVT series speaker cables and have been very happy.

Who has the oldest bottle of Stylast?
I have the same bottle since 1981 or so. Just checked and it is still clear and no crud floating in it. Could this qualify as NOS cleaner with vintage effects? Just think the air in the bottle is from the magic 80's. Well they were magic for me! 
Review: Empirical Audio Pace Car 2 Transport
Thank you for your review of a product that most of us would not get any feedback about from an actual user. It is a very intersting product.
