But where's fun in that, compared to arguing on web forum?

For my own enlightenment, have you evaluated the crystals with blind listening tests? I always find that to be a useful method with which I look for consistency of identification over multiple trials.
Namely, when sighted listening reveals that differences can NOT be heard reliably.
Last time I engaged in blind testing was when evaluating effects of linear vs. switching power supplies for a CD ripper, used to produce WAV files. The experiment was inspired by a lengthy thread at another forum - you can find this in PC Audio forum archives here, if curious.
Such uncertainty is not the case here, with crystals. If you're concerned with removing various expectation biases, then again - these rocks cost nothing, and if anything, tubes look better WITHOUT those greenish-gray ugly pieces on top of them.
have you tried using non-crystalline "rocks" of similar size and density, as a comparator to determine whether what you are hearing is due to an effect dependent upon crystal structure vs the dampening effect that any objects of similar size and mass might have on tube microphonics?
... is good enough for me, as far as the proof that it's not dampening effect that's at play here.
