RE: damper rings

Not being able to see IS a problem. If a metal envelope tube is slightly microphonic, a silicone rubber "O" ring, where the envelope meets the wafer base, and a blob of high temperature RTV on top can be tried. For some added mass damping, embed a piece of lead, like fishing split shot, in the top RTV blob.
