I was thinking, did not Radio Shack promote GOLD
tubes, and for a
short time - lifetime guarantee on the tubes.
Could be--I can't say that I've ever paid much attention to (now
newly renamed) "The Shack". It's odd that the site says non-gold socket w/
gold plated tube pins
= "perfect option" but non-gold tube pins w/ gold-plated socket =
"not so good". You'd think they were trying to sell tubes witth gold-
plated pins....
And here I thought it was gold plated grids. :)
Still gold is cheaper than the snake oil used in some audio components.
