Hi Bwian,

unusually for you you make a valid point about tube retention. In my 'tube days'
tubes were almost invariably retained in their sockets by simple spring clips or
screening cans. Sadly these seem to be almost extinct now if not totally so. You
could also buy anti-microphonic bases with a synthetic rubber or flexible
plastic mounting.
