It's a funny old world.
'member that "Famous Name" tuner kit I was grousing about?

Looks like I stumbled across one on eBAY tonight.

PACO seems plausible. Apparently they were a division of Precision Apparatus, which did, at one time, make some pretty good test equipment. My father had a Precision oscilloscope in his shop.

Re: What did you do to your stereo rig today?
Once you go Mac you don't go back!
You might be right about that. This is easily the best sound I have ever heard in my room. Pass Labs is not even close.

Re: What did you do to your stereo rig today?
Today I crossed into the Blue... my new to me Mcintosh 2300. This is the first preamp I have tried that pushes beyond that performance wall I kept running into with my L800's. This preamp is very affordable on the used market and is absolutely stunning. More to come later as this has only been running for 30 minutes, but already is blowing my mind.

Re: Vincent SV 236MK issue. HELP!!!
JJ or EH will be fine for testing purposes.
(And in my experience nothing wrong with EH small signal tubes at all. YMMV but they sound pretty good to me.)
Slightly different model, but related/similar symptom: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/vincent-sv-237mk-integrated-amp-problem.784415/

Re: Vincent SV 236MK issue. HELP!!!
A shot in the dark, did you check fuses?
You can go to Guitar Center to get new 12ax7 tubes, as you need backup tubes anyway.
Swap one of those side tubes with the front middle tube and see what happens.
