What advantage do ceramic tube sockets offer?

Also, I noticed on my 5751 pins, a sort of tye-dyish looking tarnish. Does anyone know if this will affect the sound quality? Is this normal with NOS tubes? I have a quad set of EI KT90 on the way and am psyched! While I know a few of you guys are not enthused with the EI KT90, my Aronov sounds lush enough with the Svetlana, and going to KT88 would probably be overkill. I pulled ou the tubes last night in preparation for the KT90 (hoping they would arrive today) and it was a trifle unnerving, since they would not budge! I had to pull so hard I thought the damn tube would implode in my hand! The fact that they are so close together only compounds the problem. Is there any trick to removing tubes? |

Ceramic along with Teflon tube sockets help control/reduce vibrations, resonations, and microphonics. |
