ito 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) Since i have been using the Herbies Ultrasonic Rx series for about 6 months ago,let me write a short review about what i feel about them so that more interests might be shown. I was using the aerospace O-ring previously and found out that by damping the tubes really did improved the overall sound presentation and also have a much more quieter background and more details,but this aerospace O-ring that i gotten it at $sgd 4 each so i am very curious about how much a tube damper can help in the sound so i decided to grab a pair of Herbies Ultrasonic Rx-9 for my diva tube amplifier which uses the 6922 tubes. The first impression is that the tonality,seperation and the stagesound changes are the most obvious to me,some might find that how can an inexpensive tweaks like the herbies tube damping instrument give can be such a big differences like changing a major component of your setup,but this is what i feel when i tested the Herbies Ultrasonic Rx out. The positioning of the tube damper is very important from what i tested too,when u put the tube damper in the middle of the tubes,that is the point that the overall presentation is very balanced over the highs,mids and bass where as when u place it in the top part of the tubes,it will make the sound more tighter,better transparency and imaging..so when you guys gotten the tube dampers,do try out the different sound produced when u switch the position of the dampers too..to find the best sound u like,for me i just place directly in the middle of my tubes..
