Probably I will die never hearing the effects of teflon sockets.
I thought it was really interesting that early on in this thread Gusser specifically called out the unlikely nature that any effect hear was electrical. He said:
The electrical attributes of Teflon are nil at audio frequencies anyway. So the benefit is strictly mechanical.
40 or so posts later the discussion is still on the electrical characteristics of teflon. Why hasn't anyone paid attention to that 800 pound mechanical gorilla in the corner Gusser alluded to?
Tubes tend to be microphonic which means they pick up and amplify vibrations. I like to call it acoustical feedback. Now lets forget whether feedback is good or evil and just accept that it exists. Surely how it is applied (remember it is acoustical feedback) can be altered by the the materials / methods used to couple the tube to the chassis.
