February 11, 201511 yr comment_672128 if its for the kgst boards you want the machined ones also from parts connexion you just don't use the chassis strap Report
February 11, 201511 yr comment_672132 parts connexion is good but they just double the price and charge shipping on the stuff they import from China that is otherwise found on ebay. Report
February 12, 201511 yr Author comment_672134 Teflon composite - interesting. Any experience with gold versus silver plating? I used silver once for something I built years ago, which later resulted in green corrosion at the solder joint. I suspected it was because I didn't use silver bearing solder, I think I found that if you use silver plated components you have to use solder with trace silver (1% or something), which I don't have anymore. Any rate I like gold as it doesn't tarnish like silver. Thoughts? PS. Not finding any on eBay at the moment. Report
February 12, 201511 yr Author comment_672140 Just use your own words - 9 pin Teflon. teflon cmc 9 pin Yes I saw those but I believe they are chassis mount. Spot checking they all mention chassis mount only http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEXUS-MUSIC-Premium-9-PIN-9P-Gold-Plated-Teflon-Tube-Socket-12AU7-ECC83-2PCS-/181469359862?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a406aaef6 So are you saying these also will work in the KGST PC mount?

February 12, 201511 yr Author comment_672142 As Kevin said, I did wonder what he meant by that, Parts Connection has the PC mount I'm used to (older style with leaf flanges) which is what I thought he was talking about. Well thanks for all the help, learned something new and saved myself some money. Report

Yes, it's fit. May cut pin shorter let sockets lower. Report
