Do tube dampers really work?


Tube dampers are relatively cheap; but will they REALLY improve the sound of my Audible Illusions preamp?

Hi Folks...

I'm from Israel, owning a ARC-SP-9/2 + a Dynaco Stereo 70 also series 2.

Thanks to a friend of mine that works for the Army, here..., I obtain from him a lot of "O" rings, widely used for many porpouses in the army, and loaded my Pre + amp with a lot of these "O" rings.

IF...?, I really hear a Improvement....Maybe I'm dreaming!

BUT... make me feel much better!

In those 2 Amperex white PQ 6922 that I installed in my SP-9/2 they obtain 3 "O" rings each one of the tubes.

My Dynaco the two drivers 6GH8A also 3 "O" rings each tube,
for the 4 National branded East Germany Siemens, as was received 16 "O" rings in total > 4 "O" rings each tube.

Of course...as here in Israel it's an a very hot zone..., my Dynaco always work with NO grille,,, the SP-9/2 With!

Good listening...
