Halo Tube Dampers, Work for you?

anyone have any positive experiences with this product.
i am considering outfitting my preamp with a set.
also, i think i will be adding the phono board to my rogue 99 mag preamp and might also outfit the 4 tubes on this board.
however that's about $150 on top of the cost of the phono board and i'm in no mood to piss a good $150 away when i might be better off buying lps or cds.

my virtual system is posted
i've added a mmf 5 and cheap pro-ject phono box since posting, please don't snipe my analog, i was testing water and the mmf is still nice enough for the next year

thanks in advance

Funjindemon,

That's what Tennessee Williams made the bad $150 for...

I have halo's on my amps on the small tubes only. It had a remarkable effect. It so tidied up the sonics that it sounds much more like ss in the clarity of tone rather than the highlights and harmonices that were present before, which I believed was "tube like". It's nearly amazing the effect on the Tenor 75's. I haven't a clue what they'll do for your preamp, but it had a greater effect on the system than any other single item that I've been able to think of.
