Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK

Hi, Gary ...

Such a nice report. :-)

Its really something when you consider just how much smear is produced by those micro vibrations and lack of solid connections in our systems. Something not realized until the offending situations are removed from the system. 

There are tons of these tweaks available that really make a difference. You might want to try the SR HFT's. I can vouch for their effectiveness. Way beyond what you'd expect:

After I complete my system with the Herbie's tube dampeners, I'm going to try the SR PHT's on my cartridge. I've read some fantastic reviews on them too:

OP

Frank,

if the herbies rings are so great, do you think it would be even better with the ARC rings on top of them?  Thx

Allan ...

I don't have a clue. Honest.  However, I am getting such a natural musical presentation from the Herbie's tube dampeners by themselves, that I have no compulsion to try the ARC rings in combination with the Herbie dampeners. My audiophile friends are super critical and they are blown away by the system now, as am I. 

I have 12 used ARC rings that I can send you for free if you want to try it for yourself. :-)

Frank,

Thank you for your kind offer but you should put them up for sale since you got so many.  I guess I will try them with the Herbies rings after I received them.

Allan ...

After I made you that offer, I got to thinking that if and when I decide to upgrade to the next level in the ARC line (REF-6) I'm going to need the ARC tube rings to place back onto the REF-3 tubes. Thanks for not taking me up on the offer. :-)
