Best UX4 sockets?

[greg7]

What UX4 tube sockets do you like? I want something with a good, tight fit on the pins that stays tight or at least allows re-tightening

I'm not really happy with the sockets I have in my 300B SET. They're these:

4 Pin Ceramic Gold Top Chassis Mount Tube Sockets

I already replaced one pair because they became too loose from trying different 300B and the new pair is still loose.

I agree those Chinese sockets are complete crap and I have replaced those on rebuilds of Japanese amps as a matter of course. I find the good ones on epay most of the time search for: "Amphenol Steatite" or "amphenol socket" or "cinch socket".

Try Yamamoto, expensive but very nice for 300B.

I have something similar but original usa made. If you check eBay, you may find some.
