Do tube dampers improve sound?

I recently purchased a tube pre-amp and several NOS 6922 tubes (EH, JJ Tesla, and Philips). Should I consider buying tube dampers? Do they really help the sound? Thanks

The Herbies do seem to be the way to go as the price is minimal and most of the posters in this thread have had a good experience with them. Let us know what you decide to do, Vlad1456. Holly
