How many tubes are there in your EE MM
There is one tube AX7 or you can run an AT7

Who ever said you can use a 12ax7 tube in the MiniMax is WRONG!! DO NOT use a 12AX7. It uses a 12au7, I can't imagine even running the 12AT7, the only good one ever made was the Mullard goldpin 6201.IMHO

Can you please comment on tube damping.
In your opinion is it a Myth and nothing but audio Voodoo?
Or is tube micro-phonics real and can be negated with damping and/or isolation?
Perhaps those who doubt will trust you more is why I ask.
I use tube dampers on just about all my tubes. The Herbies Tube Dampers are very good,YMMV. Sometimes a little micro-phonics is good as it seems to add a little air to the presentation. You can over-damp though also as the presentation will lose a little of its bloom. It will give pin-point accuracy but a tad more sterilized. If overdone it has a SS presentation.OK, I'm biased on the tube thing though so to each his own.
I do happen to believe in the air-born vibrations and have tried in the past some lead shot on my components that would take the black silk bags that my wife sewed together for me to make all look presentable. Of course now knowing what we do about lead, I would use sterile children's sand that you would put in a sandbox for your loved one's.

Agreed, the tube damper is the better option, the tube shield is really there in case someone might live close to a radio tower or some piece of equipment throwing out strong RFI.
Other than their outrageous price can anyone with solid technical knowledge provide reasons why these may/may not be suitable for the EE
