Post Subject: The tubes pins: the Lamm's dirty secrets are out.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 1/13/2007

Actually I was wondering what the hell you were talking about what you were bitching that the ML2 socket can not handle 6N6P first. Ether you changed over 10.000 tubes in there or something else was wrong because the ML2 sockets are fine (except the 6C33C) and you should not have any problems. A possibility that you got some too skinny pins might explain it. I do not know, perhaps your party are more skinny then necessary. When I used ML2 I got a box with 100 of them for $40 (1966 made) and the pins were fine, no smaller the usually. You can always slightly bend the pins in order to make them to more firm.

Perhaps the skinnier 6N6P do exist, I do not know. If I were you I would call Lamm and ask, he obviously when over many of them. BTW, he might propose to buy 6N6P from him because he takes the skinny one tine and galvanizes metal on the pins unit the pins become larger. The price of 49.99 per tube is because during this galvanization he uses invented by him unique technology to let only females elations to stick to the pins and keep male electron wad of the tube. The reasons why it is important is because when you pay $80 for 6C33C then you have output tube has only males electrons on the pins and it created a natural flow across capacitor captor. Lamm own a paten that teachers the any capacitor hates when electrons with the same sex intermingle and according to Lamm his “sexism in amplification” helps to eliminate the capacitor’s homophobia….

BTW, you will not be able to use Absorb-GEL adapters because in ML2 the sockets are board mounted and the tube are going there the holes in chassis (I like it a lot). The Absorb-GEL adapters would need to have a surface with the sole on it so they are not the solution in your case.

PS. I moved the post in this thread as I feel that it more related to ML2 then to the Shock-absorbing tube sockets.
