Walt:

I have not been following absolutely everything you have said about this 
whine problem, but it does smell more and more of unwanted RF, or at least 
ultra-sonic frequencies interacting.  Some of my early (1953?) tube 
contraptions would never work because I had pentodes oscillating at RF, or 
whatever . . .

Have you tried simple RF-chokes in series at one or both cable ends?  They 
should not affect audio freqs.

Maybe this is a totally red herring, or however that should be said . . . 
;^)  (I think its probably funnier wrong.)

Walter K asked:-

Have you had any trouble when pairing them for stereo? Like the 
oscillation I'm getting out of the 110's? They run beautifully single, 
but pair them for stereo and you get oscillation all up and down the 
audio. I've done a awful lot of arcane experiments trying to put in 
effective shielding without curing it.

The answer is no. In the early 80s the MKh110 came on the market at a 
reasonable price 2nd hand, and quite a few members of Wildlife Sound Recording 
Society bought them and the associated powerpacks that had been specially made 
for the 110s requirements from a firm called Electrosound.  Unfortunately this 
firm is no longer trading, but their are a number still being used, in both 
mono and stereo rigs, and results obtained are very good.
