  can i ask do they really work in the way that they are claimed? ie the Tube SOX claim that they will lower distortion by like half? What are you listenting experiencs with these devices? Do they work best on preamp tubes, driver tubes?

  Channel Man,

  i have tried quite a few different tecniques. It seems you want to AVOID any metals. Maybe they arrtact the electrons or ???, yet all metal types seem to not be as good as the Ensemble Tube Sox. The trick is to methodically remove the metal in the newer version (the older version had little, if any metal as i recall). Just MHO.

  Enjoy the music,

  Steven R. Rochlin
