Thanks Lummy.I perhaps should have mentioned as well that the dedicated audio lines run off of a dedicated 100amp subpanel. The MV60SE sounds more open, transparent and uncompressed running directly but I would like the surge protection of a PLC.
I know what you mean about the MV60SE not getting nasty (although it's not much of a concern to me given that classical & folk/world take far more of my listening time). Even with my Aural Acoustics Model Bs (voiced with the MV60SE), and the Modwright SWL 9.0SE, which is very propulsive and dynamic, the amp moves and pops but doesn't growl. The Tung Sol reissues help but I can't help but wonder if any tube amp can really do hard rock justice?
I haven't heard the Anaconda but I've found the VH Audio Airsine to be more open, neutral, and transparent, with better timing, than the Taipan VX and Python Helixes. A wonderful cord you might like. Works very well with the CJ.
Regards,
Rob

...several 'philes have had success with VH Audio's powercords, then moved up to Airsine. You can choose plugs for the Airsine, which introduces more options. I haven't even seen Airsine, but if I can find someone around here who does have them, it'd be fun to check 'em out.As an aside, I have to mention that my MV60SE (as opposed to anyone else's) did not like some EH KT-90s. The fuses blew. And when that happens, watch out; they are hard to find, and cost a few bucks each.
If you want what I call "Cadillac V8" sound, try the GE 6550A. when I think about my MV60SE, I don't have any qualms about the bass. Rather, it's the treble that doesn't assert itself. I use the Mullard box plate CV4004, EH 6SN7, and Tung-Sol gray plate 6550 -- all of which have excellent treble performance. But even with these tubes, I can't get th MV60SE to kick my speakers' butts around.
