Tube temperature for ARC Ref 6

lostbears..... Also do you hear a difference with the Herbies vs the stock dampers from ARC? If you do what is it ?

addyson.......Because i thought maybe someone would know and tell me what kind of tube dampers they bought from Herbies.                                                                                                                                                                lostbears......Ok thanks...But is there a reason you dont use a tube damper on the 6550?

theo.....Thanks for that great info....Very helpful. I really would of thought those tubes would of ran alot hotter.                                                                 theo.... folkfreak......lowrider57.......I guess there will always be some kind of debate as to wether Herbies dampers improve the sound as to stock ARC dampers. I guess you really have to try them yourself and see if your ears hear a difference. At  about $250 for dampers is quite alot. At least Herbies has a 30 day money back guarantee. So with that said, i am curious to see or hear for myself. 

@docknow .........  I read what you wrote about you putting Herbies Ultra Sonic tube dampers on all the tubes in your Ref 6. Did that include the 6H30 and the 6550 in the power supply? If so did you use the Hal-O 111-9 and the Hal-O - 50 because of the heat with the power supply tubes? 

@docknow .........  Thanks for the info...I guess if you used the UltraSonic Rx-9 for the Ref 150 and that did not need the Hal-O III for extremely hot tubes, that would be safe to say about not needing that for the Ref 6 power supply 6550 and 6H30 .... So i will order 7 UltraSonic Rx-9 dampers , 6 for the analog stage and 1 for power supply ( 6H30's) And 1 UltraSonic Rx-50 for the 6550 power supply. I was concerned about the power supply tubes and NOT using the Hal-O III for extremely hot tubes and having UltraSonic Rx - 50 and Rx - 9 melt .
