That's a good idea, with the parts box. Something to label is great though isn't it. I'm a bit of a woodworker and have been meaning to build a small cabinet with drawers. I also own the Audiotailor Jade and have several tubes for that amp as well.
I received my WE 403b's a couple days ago. These, so far, are proving to have just a tad less midrange imaging than the M8161's. But I'm not sure, because the lower treble is more smooth and controlled which is a great bonus for me. But this is early yet and only have about 4 or 5 hours listening on them. I suspect though that these may replace my M8161's as a favorite. I should also note that my LD MKIII is quite modded with alternative aftermarket capacitors. I've replaced the WIMA caps with a pair of Auricaps and a pair of Obbligatos. I also replaced the Chemcon output caps with larger voltage Nichicons. I didn't really mind the MKIII in its stock configuration. But I wanted something a little more tubey sounding and with better imaging in the treble range.
