Hello all,

I am not trying to open myself up to criticism or to attract insults from those who have not tried this tweak yet feel the need to belittle me and tell me why it cannot work.

I already bought the paint and applied it to all the tubes on my Decware amp, and I am very pleased with the improvement in sound quality.

What i would like is to hear from those of you who actually own and use this product to tell me other spots that you have found to yield an improvement in sound quality when painted with the BlackOut paint.

Thanks so much for any suggestions!

  I believe that is what Audio magic claims; RFI/EMI shielding

    Nothing new if just conductive paint, been avail for guitar bodies for years. Maybe carbon powder added to high temp. paint. Also used since 50's to coat the back of CRT's.
    Boodles said it was not conductive, I just saw that.

      I suspect this is also part of Stealth Technology.........
      
      So your amp when so treated is probably also not visibile on radar.......
      Too much is never enough

I would do it on the small signal tubes. With power tubes it is helpful to see the tubes internals to look for arching and red plating of the tube.

  Hi Chip,
  Thanks; I'd not thought about that and had painted all the tubes. Do you think there is any problem with having the power tubes painted, other than not being able to observe their innards while the amp is running?
  Thanks again,
  Chris
  - output tubes are low gain, so the input tubes benefit more from treatment - Chip647 13:55:48 08/22/22 (0)
    I have just caught tubes on the edge of meltdown that i was able to save from further damage
