I dont own Atma-Sphere,s although they are a hell of an amp.I do remember my acoustat servo tube amps and they were transformerless about 100watts each and they used vertical sweep tubes that failed frequently.It was all because of the sockets arcing so i took out the plastic compactron circuit board mounted ones and put in bakelite sockets on the chasis and hardwired them to the board and i got 3 times the life out of my tubes.Any socket upgrade to an OTL amp os worthwhile for these same reasons.
