LarryC Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 HALO tube dampers, by: Steve HerbelinHerbie's Audio Lab240 Cloud CrossingCibolo, TX 78108U.S.A.(210) 658-9439AudioLab@att.net On my equipment, tube dampers helped on one preamp but not another. Ken Stevens, CAT manufacturer, suggested which tubes in his preamp to put them on in his preamp, and I got a nice increase in clarity and grit reduction. I used the pricey Tubesox. Dampers didn't do much on my Joule Electra preamp, as Jud Barber predicted. Steve Herbelin was extremely good about taking them back.

anarchist Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 HALO's. Used on both my tube preamp and phono preamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryO Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I use regular teflon "O" rings at $1.50 each from a local auto parts store. They're for high performance applications and disperse the heat very well. They're recommended to be put around the getters only. I use them on the amp and preamp both on SOME tubes but not all.

Gilbert Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 What tube dampers do you recommend? No, just a waste of $, that's only ***. ..... yes, I've tried them. Rank'em right up there with snake oil and chicken lips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rank'em right up there with snake oil and chicken lips. Chicken lips fry up so good though : ) I have never tried tube dampeners because I like them naked.
