One of the EL84's on my Ghia head has the dreaded filament rattle. I bought some silicone ring dampers and they stopped it, but also started frying, judging by the smell, so I removed them. I've found some different ones on ebay which can apparently take up to 250 degrees Celcius, but is this sufficient? Can anyone point me to a reliable source for these? Thanks.

I got mine from EBay. Just do a search on the dampers and the seller is sandyphoto. And yes they can handle the temps.

I got the round ones. I can only imagine they would go on easier.

They do work! The dampers helped almost all of the time in my situations. I've had a few tubes that were mechanically too loose to help.

Hi Mike, Thank you for your kind words about our dampers. We are the largest damper seller in the world and we provide 6 major boutique amp manufacturers with our dampers which they install on their amps before the ship from the factory. I invite any musician to contact me at: ebay@levyphoto.com with any questions about the best dampers for their particular amp. All 17 types and sizes of our dampers can be found here: stores.ebay.com/sandyphotos-Vacuum-Tube-Items/Vacuum-Tube-Dampers-Dampeners-/_i.html?_fsub=21033341&_sid=398355&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322Or you can simply go to eBay and search for my eBay seller name: sandyphoto If you do not use eBay I also have a web site. One thing to remember is that at times, the web site will list the same item twice. If you click on an item and find that it shows "out of stock" that is in error! There should be another listing for the identical item on my web site which will show that the item is in stock. We have all 17 different sizes and types of our dampers in stock at all times. eBay would be the easiest but if you do not use eBay please try here: www.levytubes.com/servlet/the-Vacuum-Tube-Dampers-fdsh-Dampeners/CategoriesThanks again and please feel free to email me at ebay@levyphoto.com with any questions. Sandy Levy Miami, FL
