Don't read the rest of the thread, it will give you a headache.

 

If you want to stay updated Changstar is the way to go, this is a semi-interactive build so those in on the buy can give their input to an extent on features/parts.  Just not worth the confusion of parallel threads on various sites.

Did anyone order with the P&G pot option? Curious to see how the pot looks like... .or even a part number is just fine.

Has anyone run into this? The screws that hold the 300b tube sockets sit a little higher than the top of the ECBA case. I recently purchased a pair of Royal Princess tubes that do not seat well because the base of the tube hits the screws. I was isolating a noise and tried switching the 300b's but only 1 channel would work. The other wasn't making a good enough contact but worked fine when I reversed them again.

If I tighten the screws further, they would probably dimple the top of the case and possibly allow for a better seat. I am a little nervous about overtightening the screws and stripping them.

Other solutions I have considered are finding screws with smaller heads (probably difficult) or finding an adapter with a smaller diameter base that would fit between the screw heads.

Has anyone dealt with this and found a good solution?

Thanks

Those princess tubes must have a really wide base because my px4 probably have about 4mm between its base and the edge of the screw.

I believe the earlier versions of the BA have tube sockets that sit flush with the top panel of the amp. The newer production versions of the amp have sockets which protrude through the top panel. I'm assuming this change was made for the exact reason you're describing. Maybe Craig (or someone else DIY handy) could swap out the tube sockets for you.

 

You can see the white part of the tube socket protruding above the top panel here:

I'm working myself up to order a ECBA real soon.  Does anyone have suggestions as to the configuration (options) that would sound good with classical / jazz / vocal ?

 

Many thanks,

 

Rich
