Diameter of JJ 300B ceramic base

lrdc, hi. As measured here the JJ 300B is a mm or two larger than the typical plastic UX4 type tube base. In a CARY CAD-300SE Sig which has recessed sockets the JJ base won't go through the hole to reach the socket. I remember the CAD-805 as being similar. One can replace the original suspended sockets with ones that are flush with the surface thus solving the problem. This I did with a pair of 300SE Sigs. The sockets CARY used were ceramic wafer sockets - looking to be Sino. This is a minor problem JJ can address when it orders new UX4 pin tube bases in the future. I hope JJ does cuz a lot of CARY owners could benefit from the JJ 300B and probably won't want to go through the minor inconvenience of replacing tube sockets.
