"Perhaps I am stating the obvious but :
What about the inherent degrade in the solder connections of all the leads, going into the 2A3 socket's four pins ?"
Indeed, a very good question. I didn't understand his response, which was "The simple answer is : there are NO pin alternatives to the 2A3 pin arrangement." I don't think it adequately addressed your question, though.
Your point, I think, was that in each case there are wires coming through the tube envelope and then presumably soldered onto the pins, and so why is one case supposedly worse than the other?

For the finals I solder direct to the tube pins NOT to the crummy socket pins, this is an area that no body talks about that can lead to dynamic signal losses IMO

why stop there? turn the socket pins into squares and use the wire wrap connection? if solder is bad, this will be a quantum leap forward in performance.

Friend, I would not hurt thee for the world...but thou art standing where I am about to shoot.
