Foam Plugs
It would be nice to know what size woofer you're talking about. The last drivers I shopped for were 10", and that's been a couple years ago. I couldn't buy the drivers that Lyngdorf used in their W210(raw) or anything equivalent, so I stopped shop... 
Live equipment chassis
Actually- The nation is becoming more Socialist by the minute, in case you haven't noticed(are you a blond, by chance?). Funny, how little sense of humor Liberals have!! BTW- You're quite welcome. 
Foam Plugs
Mr T- They laughed at Bob Fulton too, when he'd walk into a shoppe with his 'Gold's'. The laughing stopped, when the music started. Look at the revolution in cables he started. Mr E- There are a few drivers available, with fairly long throw voice ... 
Live equipment chassis
Think of the income potential, equipping all those squirrels out there with miniature Faraday Cage suits. I'll bet Obama and the ASPCA would finance it! Well- It would end up coming out of taxpayer pockets, but........ 
Foam Plugs
Mr T- Yes, I do understand your point. However, most make no distinctions between sealed box and 2nd order/acoustic suspension designs nowdays. ie: This site moves directly from a 2nd order alignment(calling it variously, "2nd Order", "Acoustic Su... 
Difference between KT88 EAT and NOS in Jadis
No "long term personal experience"(sorry to say). My recent past financial state(expensive divorce) had precluded that possibility. Thus- I can't say anything concrete concerning their reliability, but they do carry a warranty. It's been my experi... 
Foam Plugs
If the plugs are closed cell foam; the alignment becomes an acoustic suspension. If the foam is somewhat open; it will serve to partially damp the port's output.If your speaker's placement was say, closer to the corners of the room; they could ser... 
Difference between KT88 EAT and NOS in Jadis
EAT tubes are manufactured with great care and expertise, comparable to that expended on the better tubes from "the good old days"(NOS GE, Genelex, GEC/Mullard, etc). Whether the difference in sound quality is worth the difference in cost TO you, ...

Need suggestion on VTL TL-5.5 tubes
Here is a site that will guide you in the choices available, to reduce the gain in your preamp: (http://thetubestore.com/gainfactor.html) Whatever tubes you choose to try; be certain they have been tested, and certified, "Low Noise". Upscale Audio... 
Used tubes question
Borders on a musical epiphany, does it not? As Trelja noted: The built quality back then was much better than that exhibited in today's manufacturing. Try to locate either TungSol or Sylvania 6CS7 dual triodes, for the preamp section(must be close... 
Fried R4 no midrange
If you have an ohmmeter; test the midrange speaker(disconnected) for continuity. If you have no reading: either the lead-in wires have broken, or the voicecoil has opened up. If you have no ohmmeter; use a 1 1/2 volt battery(like a AA cell) and a ...
