RE: sockets - this makes sense

"Pull tubes out and push them in TOTALLY
vertically. Skew-angle a tube insertion,
and kiss the socket goodbye as far as top
performance goes."

"If you ever place a tube into a socket, and the
tube is not pushed-in 100% vertical to the socket, remove
that socket and give it away..."

Intelligent comments by DF here. This sort of thinking is what separates RMAF legends from average stock DIY tube amp builders.

This reminds DT667 of the sort of distortion that can be generated from cheap potentiometers because the wiper contacts are poor. Easy to detect with PC FFT distortion analyzers.

Think of anything else in a tube amp where circuit contacts are not soldered and there could be potential problems.
