Post Subject: 6C33C socket types, where to get the ideal one?Posted by mace on: 1/9/2012

Hello everyone,

This seems like the place where the 6C33C experts hang out so I figured I'd ask my question here.

I'm currently collecting parts to build my very own 6C33C amplifier, and I had bought some of the cheap chinese sockets for it and thought it was all I needed. I have since learned those sockets SUCK.

OK, now I have the original NOS Russian sockets you probably all know, but there is a third type of socket out there that I want but can't find.

It's this type:

GSTubes used to sell them but someone bought all their stock and now wants to sell them for €20 euro a piece, and I personally think they are worth no more than €10. Since I need at least four, maybe eight €20 for a socket is not an option.

Now I could go for the Yamamoto teflon sockets but at $50 a pop I'm not to keen on those either.

Can any of the 6C33C lovers out there help me out?
