    The big question is how many rings you have fitted?
    Would valve dampers be better?

    Like these - http://www.europeanaudioteam.com/en/...er-000012.html
    2 rings on each tube but can't decide if one or two sound better

    Ever tried Herbie’s tube dampers?
    Quite tempted to try some of the SS versions.

    I actually removed the tube dampers from my valves and damped the casework instead. Much better result!

    I would like to try the Herbs tube dampers as you never know how anything works until you try and they get good reviews.

    Three Ultrasonic SS-9 are on the way to me.
    The Ultrasonic Rx (apparently) don’t make a massive difference, but have a higher temperature rating, which I don’t need.

    Will be interesting to hear how you get on with those Kev.

    Have you tried any damping material in the casework yet?

    Not yet. I am debating between 2mm and 4mm, and trying to find a French based supplier.

    Herbie is in the house. Arrived today, and had to pay €20 import tax and customs charges. Robbing bar stewards…

    €68.80 for the three shipped, and add on €20?
    Roughly €30 each. They had better be good….

    And in all honestly, I doubt I will notice a difference with or without them.
