If I did what I aimed to do this link will cut through the veil and take you straight to the particular soft, iso-mount $$$ sockets I have referred to. http://home.att.net/~chimeraone/axialtubesockets.html I don't know if they are still available, or if the type you want is offered in this series, but AFAIK these are the answer to your original question, and they are the best I know of at this time.

I called today to this guy and he was kind of strange. He told me that his sockets are the “best socked in the world” and how blesses I should be if I buy them. Somewhere in the middle of his conversation he said that he use the best drivers tubes the world and insisted that he will not be saying to me what the tubes is… although I did not even expressed any interest to know or ask. Then he began to sing me songs about his “best in the world special solder and his “best in the world special wire”. After all, he begin to explain to me that I should not worry about shock-mounting and wary about the sockets dialectic as his sockets have the “best in the world” sound and “highest possible dialectic coefficiency”. I felt kind of strange as I called juts to ask about the damn sockets and I did not need the freaking lectures. He informed me that without proper wire and special solder I will not be able to get benefits of his sockets.   I told that it is not my interest to be engaged in conversations about wires, soldering  or what it best in the world ….to which he felt… insulated, say that  he will not be sell me his sockets and hang up…

Well, I was looking at my telephone and was thinking: I am crazy or he is? Obviously after this conversation I did not mean to deal in any format with this guy but I also had absolutely no intention to insult him. I decided to stop over my pride  and to call him back. I told that I’m NOT calling him back to buy anything from him but to inform that I did not mean to offend him, moreover I said, if I do not have interest in his views about  “any other subject” then he should not be insulted: I just called to ask about the sockets and it was it. The guy went crazy insisting (!) that I was calling him back in order to convince him to sell me his tube sockets. I honestly asked him “what he was doing behaving like this” and he kept responding that he will not sell me his sockets.  It was too funny and too pathetic I wish his have a good day. Probably I should wish him to have less mediated day….

I wished him luck and I knew that with his attitudes I have no interest anymore in keeping him comfortable about himself. As far as I concern he can go fuck himself in the each pin-hole of his own socket. What an insecure, simplistic audio-psycho! However, the greatest misery of the episode is not that this Dennis Boyle (the guy who run the Chimera Company) is juts a person whom I caught during his PMS moments but that unfortunately his behavioral pattern is very common among the “self-appointed audio geniuses” about whom not one care.  Yes, it is difficult to find a small audio-maker without psycho disturbances…
