That's pretty common. I broke one when I disconnected my original Peach in order to hook up another one that I bought. That whole array of jacks is flimsy. SSH

I didn't expect the JJ Tesla KT88s to make much difference. I was wrong. I like them much better than the EHs. SSH

Yes, but actually 29; my fingers are old. The Telefunkens are far superior to the EHs. I had to listen after 48 hrs of burn-in: Detail, tembre and separation of voice and instruments is delicious. SSH

He sold me another Peach. I'm the original owner of the pCATS. SSH

V2 and V3 on each monoblock SSH

You'll love the Mullards! No remorse here, lol. The Telefunkens really make it shine. SSH

So, I ordered a matched quad of JJ Blue Glass KT88s to try in the pCATS after I listen for awhile with just the Telefunkens added. SSH

In my opinion, probably, unless you just want to alternate them, which I don't understand. I'd certainly use them elsewhere. SSH

Rockhound sold me another Peach, and I replaced the 12AX7 tubes with Telefunkens. My Khorns and I love the change! Thanks to davis419b sending me an email from Mark Deneen, I just ordered a quad of them for the pCATS. I was going to replace the KT88s, but Mark wrote that the improvement was to be had in the drivers, so I'm looking forward to getting a quad of Telefunken smooth plate 12AX7s from Brent Jesse to go in the pCATS. Don is also sending me a copy of the pCAT manual. Thanks, Don; mine is buried in a pile somewhere. SSH

The Dodd's must be good to keep them instead of the pCats. Anyway, I've just recommended the pCats to another forum member looking for a 299. SSH

Eighty miles from Hope, we are at 40, dropping to 27, with typical Southern humidity adding to the chill. SSH

You have a PM, Oldtimer. SSH

Have you used the 103 in any other configuration, so as to isolate it as the problem? I have, and use, five oppos and have not experienced that problem. I'm not suggesting that the unit is not the issue, only that based on my experience, it is not one common to them. SSH

Beautiful! You'd better put your hand on the buzzer if you want them. SSH

Congratulations! I'd eliminate seven of them from consideration, but won't taint your preference list with mine. Have fun listening! SSH

...a pair, Zeus, not for three. SSH

These look really nice, Jerry. GLWS. BTW, I'm burning-in some Telefunkens for the Peach, now. I wanted to get the upgrade before listening. I've dealt with him twice, and recommend him highly. SSH

Look at the thread of Matt's build of Henry Scott Yocum's 2A3. SSH

I accept this as true, but reemphasize that I was told 100 hours for ideal sound. SSH

I recently was told by an amp maker that he burned-in new tubes for 40 hrs, and that they needed another 60 before being at their best. I can neither confirm nor deny that from my experience. SSH

I have that stamp on a T shirt. SSH

Nice. GLWS. SSH

Or Daddy Dee. Or Pappy III. We've had a pretty good crew, mostly. SSH
