Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK


Here's a cheap (free) tweak for owners of ARC gear using the black tube dampeners. If you move both dampeners as far up toward the top of the tube as possible without having the top one fall off, taking care that both dampeners are solidly touching each other, you will get better dynamics, bass, mids, highs and a lower noise floor. Try it ... you'll like it.

thanks  for your input, gents. I do use sand filled mye stands spiked to the floor through the carpet for my Maggie's, as well as cable elevators. The big porcelain ones. Unfortunately, can't do the weights on top of a planar. I'm also interested in magnetic levetation for my source. Of course, my budget is not in the same league as many here. I was considering playing with brass points as well as the migs too.
ARC dampers are ok Herbies Audio Lab Ultra Sonic PX are much better however they are $25.00 ea.Thats your call however.

Agree Re Herbies tube dampers. I find two is even better, one on the glass at the getter and the other on the base. That's with NOS WWII Tung Sol and '52 Sylvania Badboys.
oregonpapa, i found that aftermkt feet (both audiopoints and HRS nimbus/couplers) provided nice improvements in my ARC gear. guess YMMV. 

(better focus, lower noise floor, bass depth / power and info retrieval).
