I only recommend dampers if your tube is highly microphonic.  All tubes are slightly microphonic, which helps add to the "tube flavor."  If it's too microphonic, throw a damper on it to take care of it.  If it's not overly microphonic, don't bother with a damper unless you really think it looks cool.  It won't do anything to the sound.

I always think how dampers help in tubes if they're not noisy or microphonics? Any suggestion guys?

All right. Now I'm really jealous. I have never seen Vcap caps in person before--not ever. I've actually only seen closeups of Danny's work and he does impressive work, yes? And speaking of firing up this bad boy (more like big bad beast), it looks like the amp contains gun power kegs and dynamite. Make sure you adjust the volume to minimum, fire up, then take cover!

One more for you Clayton, the CuTFs in my WA5LE lately. First step of my mod.

That is exactly what I'm gonna to do.  All my coworker is in my office when I open this up to take couple pictures.  I will try to get some glamour shot this weekend, this beast needs some to show off Danny's amazing work.

I placed my order from Chris when the WA5LE still in the US..............

Wow, I remember dannie01 stating that his wa22 was modded, but I never knew to what extent. Is it possible to list all those mods?  I have my new wa22 on the way, but don't have my (if any) diy skill. I may never end up modding it, but just for the sake of knowing - are there any reputable businesses or individuals that offer high quality mods to woo amps beyond jack, himself?

jc9394, it appears you have quite the jewel in your hands. Or should I say, hooked up to your ears.

I think this is the only time in the history of Head-Fi where the terms "saving money" have ever been used!
