Tubes Asylum Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ |

Ordered the tubes linked below based on my positive experience with their 2A3. Strange thing is, I cannot fit them all the way into the tube socket. The fit is much too tight and I do not dare push down any harder. There is a 2 - 3 mm gap between the bottom of the tube and the top of the socket. Here is a link to the socket I am using:

These sockets are known for their snugness, but c'mon. All the other EL34 types that I have tried fit properly. That being said, there is sufficient contact that I can still use them and they sound quite nice, but I find that gap rather unsettling. I have informed the seller but I would like to get your take. Any similar experiences? Sorry for the crappy image. Cheers.
