I’ve received several emails from people asking me why I’ve gone quite lately. Nothing to be alarmed, I’m just simply buried on the daily grind like many out there are on these Pandemic times. My work-life balance has changed dramatically. This left me with very little time on my hands to work on audio stuff. I won’t complain as many others are actually struggling to survive, that is tough.

Teflon Sockets
I’ve got a set of teflon sockets from Jakeband. These are fantastically made to order. Luciano from Jakeband sent me in addition some samples which I will use in the eTracer which I will bring along to ETF.19.
Honestly, these are fine pieces of craftwork. For example, you can measure and let Luciano know the diameter of your 845 (or any other transmitting valves) when ordering these valves so they fit perfectly.
I’ve used these sockets on my projects for years and am very pleased have to say. Of course you pay a premium price as these are hand-made with fine materials. In my opinion, these are worth every cent.
Also I had a pair of RCA sockets, look at them:
They are made on a single piece of tellurium copper. First coating in pure silver 99.99% thickness 18 microns and the second coating Gold 24 K 3 micron thick. Sterling job!
You can contact Jakeband directly to order your sockets. Just use the form I posted years ago here.
