Tube dampers/coolers effect on preamp sound?


Has anyone heard a change in sound, good or bad, when using any kind of device that damps a tubes glass bottle in a preamp ?

Hi Rmcfee

I would say it would depend on a lot of things. What was the piece of equipment the dampers were used in? What kind of damper was employed? There are many kinds now. From silicone rings to brass rings with a ground wire.

I've used silicone rings and Herbie's tube dampers on the preamp tubes of my amp and I had the same results as Lowrider.
