Hi Rtn1,
fantastic system!!! how did the EAT tube dampers work out? i use one on the 7308 tube i put in my Zanden DAC...stunningly good results. The Zanden normally takes a JAN phillips which is surprisingly musical given its cost relative to more expensive tubes. But it is super-microphonic. you can snap your fingers 5 feet away and hear it come thru the speakers. but not with the EAT in place. And yes, the music improved as well...tighter bass, more solid voices, soundstage, et al.
eventually, i upgraded to the 7308 which still benefited in much the same way.
Because my CJ ACT 2 pre has 6h30p tubes (but cannot fit the EAT tube dampers due to the way they laid out the tubes), i have just ordered o-rings. curious if you have had any further observations on your 6h30p tubes...which i have heard are not too susceptible to microphonics.
thanks for any advice.
