Actually, come to think of it, I think I prefer loose women to loose tubes and with those you'd hardly need sandpaper and sometimes not even sheets and here you certainly will notice the difference. Does that make me a bad audiophile?!!!

Dekay,Nh-fi, in the Michael Percy Audio catalogue it says: Super Premium Tube Sockets: Where only the very best in the world will do! Machined Teflon or epoxy impregnated wood laminate, 9 pin chassis mount, octal, UX4 and other types with removable gold plated machined phosphor bronze or silver plated brass contacts, CALL FOR $$ You'll find it on page 16 of the catalogue. Their phone number is: (503) 470-8650, their fax: 470-8651 and their email address: [email protected] Regards, |
Thanks Detlof. No hurry though as I just had my amp spec'd and cleaned and will wait until further maintenance is required before considering changing the tube sockets. The materials used are new to me for this application and I will go to the site when AOL is not bogged down as much as it is right now. I believe that Percy also sells Sorbothane which I need for an upcoming project. |
Be advised that changing tube sockets isn't anything like changing a capacitor. On 9 pin, all nine pins have wires soldered, some of them have multiple wires and/or resistors. Then you have to get in there with a probe from your meter while it's powered up. Let me get my dictionary and make sure I spell 'lethal voltages present' correctly. |
