Re: Tube Dampeners!
They keep the internal parts of the tube from making noise, if they rattle against the glass. Whoever came out with them is pretty smart because they work, and they don't burn.
I heard another trick for quieting rattling tubes......put a stripe of silicon glue around the glass.....same concept as the tube dampeners.

Re: Tube Dampeners!
That's an old high end stereo geek tweak.....the Tube Sox have been around a while. Not sure if you need to tweak that much on a guitar amp. As both a stereo and recent guitar geek, i have always thought that some of the imperfections that stereo guys try to eliminate might be things that make for great guitar amp tone...lol

Hi Gearjonser! Thanks for the reply! www.tube-shop.com have tube dampeners that are around $15 each. I brought mine off ebay which were just silicone rings. They are 8 for $10 and is the cheapest you can find anywhere.
