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.

**It's a pretty easy, albeit lengthy) job. There were a few companies who
used the same, ****ty sockets. Perreaux, from New Zealand, was another. They
were chosen for ease of assembly, not contact quality. The engineers should
have been shot.
