Halo Tube Dampers, Work for you?


anyone have any positive experiences with this product.
i am considering outfitting my preamp with a set.
also, i think i will be adding the phono board to my rogue 99 mag preamp and might also outfit the 4 tubes on this board.
however that's about $150 on top of the cost of the phono board and i'm in no mood to piss a good $150 away when i might be better off buying lps or cds.

my virtual system is posted
i've added a mmf 5 and cheap pro-ject phono box since posting, please don't snipe my analog, i was testing water and the mmf is still nice enough for the next year

thanks in advance

On the Rogue 99 pre amp you can put the Halos on the two left tubes (looking from the front) in the phono section and get 90% of the benefit. According to Mark Obrien these are the main tubes that have to do with sonics the other tubes are used for another part of the circitry.

I use the Audio Research tube dampeners and agree with the improvements, the sonics tighten up and are cleaner. TAS (or Stereophile) did a review on them as well and thought they were one of the better deals out there.
