Anybody have ant thoughts re using 2 Herbie's tube dampers on 1 tube?


I'm already using Herbie's UltraSonic SS on the 6SN7s in my amp. I'm definitely happy and believe they make a positive difference. I've noticed that in some pictures of a number of tube amps that some folks are using more than one of the "rubber" style dampers on their tubes. Does anyone have any ideas?

Interesting question...I use one on each tube in my pre. I never thought about using more than one.
remember for any signal tube, what we are trying to do is to MANAGE microphony, not eliminate it
Save your money and get these, not too tight just a snug fit, measure the diameter of your small and big tubes and reduce it by 2mm for the ID of the o-rings needed, for them

They are high temp very high quality silicone o-rings, for industrial purposes. They stop the thin glass of todays cheaper Chinese/Russian tube from ringing, they WILL NOT! stop a faulty tube that has gone microphonic, neither will any other tube damper. 

BTW!!! There is no such thing as overdamping the glass envelope of a tube

Glad you said it, @georgehifi. An '"overdamped" tube glass envelope is the same as an overdamped loudspeaker enclosure: an oxymoron. Both should be as non-resonant as is reasonably possible to make them. The cases of electronics as well, for that matter. And turntables, tonearms, and phono cartridges, and the walls, floors, and ceilings of listening rooms.
