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.

I have the same ring on my audioresearch. After two 6H30 tube replacement . Rings are good for how many years ?  Is it better to stay with the audioresearch ring ?  I saw some with metal and soft rubber ring...
