Ultimate UX4, noval, octal teflon tube sockets with gold segmented grippers. Click on image for larger view

Why you need teflon tube sockets: They're expensive and may seem like an extravagance but our beloved tubes are sensitive to vibrations and vibration is everywhere. Chassis born vibration softens the imaging and veils harmonics, robbing the music of its tonal tapestry. Teflon sockets act as a vibration break for the chassis' shakes and a damper for airborne vibes. It also grips the tube pins MUCH better than ceramic sockets and has a more favourable dielectric characteristic so high notes can soar! This is not a small improvement and I'd put it on the same level as a major cap upgrade, maybe even higher than that.

Blokker: Must-have module if you have power transformers in your gear. Just connect the red wire in series with the neutral of your mains supply, blue wire to transformer primary side and kill DCv dead. Also removes destructive harmonic content created by other electrical devices loading your power matrix. Most AC supply has some DC offset present. DC is the enemy, robbing a power transformer of efficiency and often making it hum. Blok it, and the transformer can do its job, Sound improvement can be major depending on your line conditions. Small enough to fit in most chassis. 5cm x 5cm x 2.4cm. 3A/240V. Tube not included!
