The little wood things on top of the tubes. I call them tube hats.

and what's so special about them? does it sound much better? do you earn a lot of money selling them?

 

[tom1356]

"and what's so special about them? "
nothing really...they are just wood and copper wire.

"does it sound much better? "
no...just a little bit better.

"do you earn a lot of money selling them?"
no...I only made them for myself.

I made hats like that once for some KT88's. They caught on fire and burned the house down.
