211 tube socket question

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I have limited experience with such sockets and have one amp where the tube vibrates noticably with footfalls. I heard what sounds like contact breaks as it does.
Does anyone have suggestions for why this socket allows such vibration and what can be done to improve it?

You didn't tell us what amp you have... - Ivan303 07:59:44 04/16/06 (2)

I pushed the contacts inward with a pencil and switched tubes from left to right. All is well. nt - Norm 12:12:14 04/16/06 (0)
