I used to work with a guy that said he could hear the difference between
gold plated and tin plated RCA connectors.


These are the folks that will pay $1000/meter for glorified zip cord.

I seriously doubt that : I've never seen tin plated RCA connectors.

However hearing the difference between gold plated and nickel plated RCA
connectors should be pretty easy for a well trained ear :
Just drop both connectors on a hard surface. Nickel plated and gold plated
shouldn't sound exactly the same.

I got a pair of unused Y-434 (version of 4X150A with gold-plated grid)
ceramic beam tetrodes for $10 from eBay. Someone told me to drive them
grounded grid, similarly to this electrostatic headphone amplifier:

I found cheap sockets, but no chimneys. Is it possible to DIY chimneys?
And what's the best approach to quieting the forced air cooling blower?
