We've had Caddock resistors available since 1987.
We've had to build our own custom wire to do the hookup inside our amps and preamps.
We figured out that power cords and fuses were affecting the sound a long time ago- when the MA-2 was designed in 1989, we set it up with a larger cartridge style fuse as they sounded better than the usual stuff. In addition it uses dual power cords on each chassis to minimize the AC power wiring. The MA-2 was meant to be a flagship and had all the tweaks.
The newer Teflon caps are definitely better than those from 17 years ago!
