Cable Break-in There are many factors that make cable break-in necessary and many reasons why the results vary. If you measure a new cable with a voltmeter you will see a standing voltage because good dielectrics make poor conductors. They h... 
Directionality of wire

Preamp 6922 tube help
Another great sounding Siemens tube is the early/mid 1960s 7308/E188CC all grey plate tube. Some were sold here in the states under the RCA label 7308/E188CC.Not this tube though.http://www.thetubestore.com/Tubes/6000-to-9999-Types/SIEMENS-E188CC-...

Mark,I would plug the VT100 amp directly into the wall outlet, jmo..... I do not have any experience or knowledge with regards to the use of KT120 power tubes in the VT100 MK2.You might want to contact ARC service at the factory in Minnesota.I fou...
