No Ring Rings™

Extracts from No Ring Ring™ Review; Hi Fi World January 06 Issue
"The overall sound was obviously cleaner and the midband more dimensional, while the bass took on a more tuneful and less 'bloated' character and the treble seemed lighter and more delicate. ...Considering the extremely modest price, I'd call the No-Ring Ring a brilliant upgrade..."

No Ring Ring™ Customer Comments
I've only had the chance to listen to the amp with the No Ring Rings in it for a few hours over the past week, but what I've heard so far has impressed. The microphonic character of the pre-amp were only noticeable when I tapped the front volume knob or input selector - this hasn't changed substantially. But the sound that comes through the speakers when I tap the knobs is slightly lower (but the reality is, it's only minor and I don't exactly sit there tapping the knobs anyway!).
The biggest improvement is in the overall sound. Top to bottom everything has tightened up and cleaned up nicely. The slight bloating in the bass and minor sheen in the treble that was sometimes there has faded. Basically, things just sound more natural and relaxed - instruments seem to have a more realistic timbre - trumpets, hi hats, cymbals, bass, guitar etc just sound more real.
I know it's easy to get carried away when it comes to tweaks and hi-fi and perceived differences in sound etc etc. But for the price, these really do seem to make a subtle, audible and worthwhile improvement.
Thanks for everything

Got the rings yesterday and have only had a short listen but would say they have made a difference, sound seems more clearer. I have them on my Unison Research SR1 Integrated amp tubes.

The No Ring Rings do improve the sound of the tube system, especially in terms of bass control. I have left my No Ring Rings on my tubes since the first test in January.

I've done some extensive listening over recent weeks and they do make a big difference, particularly on amps that have exposed valves, those that have the tubes inside the case the differences are more subtle. For what these dampers cost by comparison to other well known makes they are definitely worth the money and the improvements are very worthwhile. I need 6 more so will be ordering them shortly.
