Here's a tweak just for you, Dekay: Teflon and cellulose tube sockets at $90/pair. http://www2.117.ne.jp/~y-s/soket.html

Hey, what'd I miss while over at Bottlehead? I only get 1 note and the other guys get three?

No sheet, huh, Dekay?
It's called emery cloth or the finer grit is crocus cloth.
Nh Fi, Michael Percy has the fancy tube sockets, www.bainbridge.net/percyaudio

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.
