RE: How to improve the contact of my phase splitter tube.

When you say spread the pins bit,do you mean on the 12AX7 itself or do you mean on the tube socket pins? I assume you meant you bent the pins a bit so they would fit more tightly in the socket.
What you need to do is get yourself a tiny jeweler flat blade screwdriver and go in on the outer part of the 12AX7 tube socket and bend in those pins a tiny bit in each side..It is easy to do and it will solve your problem I would guess.
