Hi - I've read about the fragile sockets for these and now I, at last,
have
fallen victim. I've lost one of the socket covers for a rear phono
(8000c
late model). It seems to be a sort of gold shell, rather than the normal
one
piece board mounted type, and just clips in place.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? I've written to Tag, but
I
suppose I'm hoping someone here might have one in their spares box ...
:-)

**Do the job properly. Dump all the sockets and replace them with decent,
individual, gold plated, PTFE insulated types. These things are not
expensive anymore. The job will take some time and will require COMPLETE
disassembly of the amp. It will, however, be worth it.

Thanks Trevor - I do agree Audiolab's solution is pretty tacky, it's the
only amp I've come across that's used this 'snap on' solution (but then I've
only delved inside a few, as it were). I think my soldering skills has put
this as a last resort, at least for the moment.
