Mood rings make great tube dampers. You can tell if the tube is happy or not. A happy tube makes for a happy amplifier.
Best tube dampers that you have used
I currently have a Thor Audio monoblocks TP-150, 8 EL-34's Sovtek tubes for each amp.
Was wondering in anyone's experience will tube dampers improve the sound quality.
Am hesitant to proceed as I have read that tube dampers can melt from the heat of the tubes and sometimes
cause smoke. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Forget expensive audiophile tube dampers, use red silicon "O" Rings are the best bang for buck to quieten tube microphonics used two spaced per tube. Choose your size, don’t make them too tight, they "can" dent the glass over time. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=silicon+O+rings&_sacat... Cheers George |
