RE: Application of crystals on tubes.

Not universally applicable, but I like a rock between the tube pins, say in an octal/9-7 pin base socket, May not work in some octal PCB sockets as you need the depth for the tube guide pin. I use it in my nine/seven pin sockets with nice effect.

As for the Black discus, drilling the smaller units and placing on top of tubes is really eye opening, sonically. I do admit that in some applications I notice a slight roll off, or perhaps the BD brings out the mids and bass so much more that it overpowers the highs. There a crystal on top of the BD noticeably helps.

I find that often times a combination of different "tweaks" works well with each other, so please do not discount a combination of them, as confusing as it can be at times.
