The original tube socket is made by cutting fluororesin (or Complite) and fixing it with a pin that is machined into a round shape. This prevents sound quality from deteriorating due to vibration as the vacuum tube is held securely without any play. Fluororesin also has excellent insulation properties, making it a key part of vacuum tube amplifier construction.

Description of materials used

Fluororesin: The official name is tetrafluoroethylene, and it has the highest electrical insulation and dielectric constant of all solids. It also has excellent temperature resistance.

comp light: A material made by forcibly drying wood and impregnating it with phenolic resin as a base material.It has the same electrical properties as Bakelite but is stronger. It is characterized by its high heat resistance and high strength, which allows it to produce a solid sound.

phosphor bronze: Used as the pin material for most tube sockets (excluding the L series). It has high strength, excellent spring properties, and maintains stable contact.

gold plated: Most socket pins are coated with a non-magnetic base material and then plated with thick gold. (Excluding the L series) Magnetic materials are excluded from plating as much as possible.
