Now I'm considering getting some tube dampers for my DV332 amp, and the two candidates are from Herbies's Audio Labs and an eBay seller, sandyphoto.
For my DV332 with a pair of Russian 6S19P in power section and EF95 equivalent in pre-amp section, I need to use the following dampers from the above sellers:
Herbies's Audio Labs
2X of Ultrasonic 7 $14.25 each
2X of Ultrasonic 9$14.29 each
eBay seller
1 set of SoniKLEER $24.99 a set (containing 4 dampers)
1 set of standard damper $9.99 a set (containing 8 dampers)
Compared among tube dampers in the market, for me, Herbies' dampers seem to be premium, and cost me a lot more than the eBay alternative, which is also not a cheapest deal on eBay either, but I think highest quality available on eBay. The former costs me around $82.03 shipped, whilst the latter costs me just $42.98 shipped.
My question is, in reality, is there any significant difference between the two?
It's not necessary that you must have had first-hand experience with both dampers to reply to my thread, as I've no experience of this kind of accessory, any comment is welcome.
