Daddy Dee Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 My take on tube dampers... if there is a problem with vibration or microphonics that damping will help.... then they will make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Many of them are made with a silicone rubber compound, which will resist the high heat of the tubes. I had one of the 7199s in my old Dynaco that would start to whine at me every so often. I would tweak the chassis and it would stop for another hour or so. But they were going on 25+ years.

I've read about "breaking in" tubes before but isn't this extreme?[] J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
