You may try to push the tube pin slightly inwards and this will tighten the feel.

Although my Teflon sockets are still very tight, the once very bright and gold sockets are now dingy and copper-looking. I guess it's from those NOS tubes with dirty pins. Is rubbing alcohol okay to use to clean dirty pins? Especially the ones on the octal tubes? Those pins are sometimes just very cruddy.

Use DeoxIT ® GOLD, you won't regret! I clean all my tube pins with them before use, I clean all my sockets and connectors very 2 months. They are still shinny like new.

I use the Caig too. Easy enhancement. Cheaper than buying tubes!! Buying a lot lately.

CT2 is Dact's current line of stepped attenuators.
They are available in mono, stereo, balanced stereo, 6 and 8 gang.

CT4 must be a miss print because the CT4 line are balance controls.

That one that you have is a CT2. Everyone has the same one.

They are used for two different jobs.

I am glad that my tube rolling days are over now. I am happy with the current tubes consisting of Sophia Princess Mesh Plate 274B & Sylvania NOS Fat Bottled 6EW7 on my amp & Western Electric NOS JW 2C51/396A on the DAC.

I am spending time on tweaking my DAC for now.

Hey OutdoorXplorer, how's the Western Electric NOS JW 2C51/396A working with the WA6SE? Are they similar to 6EW or any others? I've tried the 6EW7, 6DE7, 6DR7, 6FD7 & 6CY7 but never heard these JW 2C51/396A can work with the WA6SE, do you have any comment with it's sound? Thanks.

The WE396A is for my Havana DAC.. Perhaps I shouldn't name it here I guess..

Oh, sorry for my mis-unstanding.

 

[OutdoorXplorer]

No worries. It was my fault of not making it clear and I have rectified my earlier post. Thank you for pointing. So which tube you love most?

I have not try out 6CY7 and wonder how it sounds.

I love the Raytheon 6EW7 fat bottle when playing in classical music, they have a warm feeling and big soundstage with the SP 274B and the GE 6FD7 fat bottle for vocal and something have bass, the 6FD7 is punchy and solid with detail. And I can say I don't like much of the 6CY7, it sounds a bit raw and fatigue even the Tung Sol's NOS.

Hey, has anyone tried metal tube rectifiers? I've seen some on eBay like the 5Z4.
