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?

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
