I am curious about what people notice, too. What are people hearing as an improvement?
I understand how less vibration would help with sound and that heat dissipation might prolong the life of a tube. I really like any idea that is cheaper and works. Bigkidz offers the lead ribbon idea. That would get the weight but would not lead concentrate the heat in one spot?
I have seen the Hal-O things listed here a lot. Andy from Vintage Tube Services is highly respected and he offers gold-plated brass dampers. BUT, they are to the tune of FIFTY-FOUR dollars EACH for small tubes like the 6922. Has anyone tried these and are they better in relation to the price difference?
