Won't damage anything, not the tube nor the amp. However, tube rolling eventually will wear out the tube socket. That can (not easily) be replaced or the contacts may have to be 'bent back' somewhat to ensure proper contact. Could that be somewhat solved with some kind of extra socket that could be mounted on top of the real one?

Um, I think I will try to play with the power cable and with the interconnect. Thanks for the heads-up.
Changing job...xDDD, maybe an option for the future, we are getting a baby this month and a man needs to eat!

Nothing? Could the metal cover help? I have the acrylic one.

Another question, I have noticed that when I use the Ember in my office, depending on where I place the Ember on my table and which tube I use, the amp can start to catch some EMI. In general 6sn7 tubes suffer much less from this problem. I usually need to move the amp around to find a spot where it is quiet/mostly quiet. At home it is totally quiet all the time.
Any experience with this? Any way of ameliorating the EMI noise?

I don't think there are any plans but when there is enough demand for it Jeremy might. The problem is 'volume'. It isn't hard to design a PCB and obtain decent sockets and pins. The problem is having the PCB's made in small numbers is very costly. To make it affordable you would have to buy a large quantity of PCB's and that is rather pointless if you only sell a small quantity. I don't want to plant ideas in Jeremy's head about an amp with 2 octal (or Noval) tube base on it. He needs to finish a few other projects first: Linear power supply Filter board IEM attenuation adapter It makes sense to focus in those 3 projects, they are more important. Thanks for the info!

BTW, I am sure this has been asked before but I find it hard to dig this info from 105 pages of posts: are there plans to design/build a garage1217 adaptor for 7193 tubes?

You ARE a kid with a new toy--that's the beauty of it. You can expect a more quiet amp, especially low frequency hum. I had one for my Starlight.
Welcome to the club!
Only if you're hearing noise already. If not then it won't do anything. No noise from the power supply, only some tubes that seem to interfere with the wirelesa in my office. Curiously, there is a corner on my table where the amp is totally silent :-)

Hello all, my first post in this forum :-)
I got my Ember a month ago, and I am enjoying it like a kid with a new toy!
I am curious about the linear PSU. Perhaps this is a lame question, but...what kind of improvement can be expected from it? It sounds terrific to my ears!
