Herbie's Hal-O tube dampener's on Calypso?

Perfectionist:
I use the Hal-O tube dampers and would not be without them. My experience is in line with the remarks made by Audphile1.

For the modest cost, I would not choose to be without them, however, I have found more significant benefit on my tube gear with isolation, specifically Townshend Seismic Sinks. Others have found similar results. Yes, the results can be a bit system and gear dependent, in my experience with some components showing only minor improvements and others showing dramatic improvement.

For a more thorough discussion of the Hal-O dampers, see the thread http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1107063556

Jea48 speaks in detail about his experiences and the variations he found in terms of positioning.

I ordered four Hal-O's today.
Will report my finding's after this next weekend for anyone interested...

Hi Perfecto man,

I just received four of Herbie's tube dampers a couple weeks ago. This is the first of the four products I have tried that were a step forward. The others gave me little or no improvement and the Mapleshade brass dampers were horrible. You will be happy I think. Overall they just add one more layer of naturalness.

You Calypso folks are quite the helpful friendly bunch.

Last week I ordered up a bunch of these. I will report my findings in the Io and Callisto as I have to believe the improvements (if any) should be similar.

Steve is a great guy.You have nothing to lose with a 90 day return policy.
