Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK


Here's a cheap (free) tweak for owners of ARC gear using the black tube dampeners. If you move both dampeners as far up toward the top of the tube as possible without having the top one fall off, taking care that both dampeners are solidly touching each other, you will get better dynamics, bass, mids, highs and a lower noise floor. Try it ... you'll like it.

We’ve known all tubes are microphonic, even tubes that are marked "non-microphonic," for eons.
True. It's indeed design of tube component that eliminates microphony. 
I'm old-school -- so I do not try to dress tubes.
