recommendations for tube dampers???

I have found a combination of components that I think I can live with for a while. So now I'm starting to think about tweaks. I was hoping to get some feedback on various tube dampers that you have tried. The ones on http://www.vintagetubeservices.com/ look interesting, but many things do. Top hats, tube sox, pearl coolers, etc??? Anything you would recommend?

I think you're right BW, I should've put an exclamation point or two after the phrase "eight years ago"!! But I got posted-out on audio a while back and have mostly sworn it off since. However it's nice to get a welcome wagon rather than flamed for daring to diss the holy tube (which I'll always love even if I don't use 'em anymore), so thanks dude :-)

So Zaikesman, would you care to name some names as far as the SS gear you hinted at? Sorry, don't mean to hijack this thread but I am always very interested in tube-like SS gear I should listen to. Have not used tube dampers yet but this thread has got me thinking again.

I have been trying to build my own DIY tube dampers, and im getting a ring of softish urethane to make a good and removable damper.
