I've not heard any tube damper that actually helped the sound.
IMO, they do change it. But not for the better.

Question About Tube Dampers
I have a Joule Electra tube preamp that I purchased here and it came with tube dampers on all the tubes. We all know of the advantages of using tube dampers on resonances and noise with tubes. Something I was thinking:
Are there any possible disadvantages to the sonics or performance of a preamp that you are aware of or have experienced with the use of tube dampers? Or is this always a performance positive?
