Slight chip of the ceramic tube socket

[Dark Helmet]

One of my tube sockets on my Einstein chipped slightly (more like flaked) on the top should I be concerned? I'm asking because I'm trying different tubes in it to see what i like best and I don't want to ruin the amp. Should i rock the tube back and forth when pulling the tube out as that's what I normally do, or should I pull straight up. Has this happened to anyone else?

You only have to take care of the socket clamps
if you change your tubes every week

Thanks Peter. By the way the Einstein is amazing. I just wish I knew some one locally who had a VH4, I'm dying to try one.

Just buy one, you won't be disappointed. The only thing better than owning a Diezel is owning several

I dont have the coin for It and the Einstein.

I'm sure it's great, but no music stores in Seattle have them here for me to try. I got the Einstein used and I have a couple more weeks to decide if I want to keep it. I really dig it, but will I like the VH4 even more? I would like to find out before I commit.
