Tube Dampers


I am considering tube dampers for my preamp. Two issues that I have repeatedly heard: 1) The damper should dissipate heat and not reflect it back into the tube 2) Dampers may tighten up the sound too much making my preamp sound too analytical and sterile. Comments please? Happy Tunes!

If you want the best for your preamp tubes (e.g. 6922s or the like)try and find the Tophat tube damper from the former Rightway Audio Company. Be patient, for these are not easy to find used and are not cheap either, but there are none better than these, trust me!

Happy hunting.
