Tube Damper Question

I have a tube damper on the input tube of my RSA Raptor and I am very happy with it. I was wondering, should I consider buying a couple of more dampers for my two output tubes as well? Or, should I just stay with the one on my input tube? Thanks for the help.

Different type of dampers will not in same result, I love herbie's in input and no dampers on output.

 

You may try for yours, they're not expansive.

Thanks for the help. I was thinking about getting two more of the same dampers for my output tubes as I got for my input tube. Not sure if it makes sense to get dampers for the output tubes if the input tube has one already. I like Herbie's also.

Damper on output can make focus, but less open or nature or airy.(Sorry, I don't know how to explain correctly in English.)

 

Just in my system.

Thanks. You answered the main question I had for the original post; namely, will adding two of the same dampers to the output tubes add the to sound, or should I just leave the one on the input tube? From your post, it is better just to use a single one at the input tube.

Raptor is seperated PSU design, stay away from PSU for less vibration effect.

 

One damper for input will be enough, I think...

 

But you may try, maybe you will like the improved.

 

In my case, the Supra's power transformer is on same case.

 

But I still don't like dampers on output tubes, but must on input. regular_smile%20.gif
