I suppose we should cool it before The Bored sends out a mopper.
We seem to have got away with it.
Whatever, my Tube Toppers eventually arrived (Ouch! along with a Customs handling charge) and were soon fitted in place of the prior Keg/Magic Tube setup (aka choppers - see pix). I played this and that for a few hours to settle things down then played what I call a stalwart - a good recording I know well.
No, it wasn't "I was there when they discovered a new planet" stuff but the sound did seem slightly more refined, an impression that has stayed with me since. IOW, I'd strongly recommend either device for small signal valves/tubes - compared to using neither, the difference is marked, the Toppers being better than the choppers but only slightly. No need for sackcloth and ashes or pawning jewellery if you already have choppers and can't run to Toppers.
Out of curiosity and given that folk have talked of the devices having magnetic properties, I tried placing each (two kegs, two Tube Toppers) close to a cheap compass, one at a time. One keg and both Toppers had no effect whatsoever but the other keg turned the needle faster than a teenager's head watching beach volleyball. No idea why.
