There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

PJ - I use those same dampers....did you notice an changes? I didn't really bother listening for them as the purpose of them alone made me feel better about using them. They look cool huh?
Tryrrthg - The McCormack looks nice, thanks for the picture.

Doro,
Well I swapped out tubes at the same time and then put all the screws back on the lid. It certainly didn't degrade the sound any that I can tell.
I also use the tube damping HAL-Os on the Jolida cdp. The rings in combination with the "blue ball" isolation rack I made has yielded some nice gains as a cumulative effect on pinpoint placement / focus and separation in the sound. I feel that these small tweaks alone may be hard to recognize but when you start adding a few together and then you take them all away then one may notice a difference. Here too though, no harm done by the tweaks and it leaves one with some peace of mind that you've done everything you can at a small and very reasonable cost. Systems certainly sound good that's for sure.
I was going to go with the Pearl Tube Coolers, but after reading posts by others who had owned both, the general consensus was that the Herbie product was superior.

Regarding the AMC, cost aside, were you disapointed when you first opened it up? I mean, it looks like very little to expect good performance or value. Not to imply that bigger is better and that more IS better.
These AMC's are known as entry level seperates and have a bit of a following for being better/higher quality than pioneer and denon when it comes to certain products, players, amps etc. etc.
From that picture I see little to indicate and anything more than a cool case and a zenith inside. Not trying to offend or anything just my simple opinion.

The first guess was correct Gidrah.....Lancer 44....with a nice nameplate on the back with "John B Lansing's" name proudly displayed.
