I also have my M60s on Sound Anchor stands.
The StillPoint Ultra SS will make a startling improvement.
The effect is cumulative and I have them supporting all of my components.
Herbies Ultra Sonic RX are my preferred damper for my power tubes, driver and gain 6SN7s, tripple Guitar dampers on the CCS.
I have a MaxiPre tester that I can measure for gain and noise.
I find that perfectly matching the 6SN7 sections for gain is important.
The quietest tubes that I can find I use for the driver and CCS.
I have found that the gain section tubes sound better if they have a lower noise reading. ( more tubey sounding )
