Dear Chuck,
I can't argue with what you say you hear with the AMCSs, but you are basically quoting the website so far as the claims they make for this product. Just looking at how they are installed in the circuit, or not in the circuit, how the heck can they possibly "reduce vibration, noise riding on the signal, enhance signal flow", yada yada? I can't think of a single way in which they could possibly do any of the above. This does not mean they are a fraud, but some sort of explanation of mechanism is needed. (Maybe "Magic" is the right word.)

And now we have fuses that block EMI and RFI. I may be like the little kid who cannot stop asking questions, but... how?

Compared to this stuff, tube dampers make a lot of sense. But recently Ralph remarked to me that no damper can completely cure a microphonic tube. I have some very microphonic but great sounding KenRads in my MP1 and was asking Ralph about how to deal with it. Each one of them (6SN7s in the linestage) already has two O-rings on it, to no real avail. Herbie's dampers are used in my phono stage, nevertheless.
