I have spent a few hours to day with some different size O-rings. Things are getting complex, takes me back to my early trials on mass loading speaker stands, the total mass of the ring affects the sound produced as does the position on the valve. I moved from a very heavy twisted ring to one or two 2.5mm x 25mm, It seems that as with stands, the more mass the more the base is tightend and reduced, trebel frequancies are more forward. Initialy impresive but after a while those highly detailed upper frequacies become wearing, sound familier?
Curently working on splitting two light rings, even the position on the tube seems to have an effect! As I said, '1975 and all that', 5 years it took to nail it then, I may not have 5 years now? At present one center ring is a good compromise to my ears, but still waiting for some more size veriations to arive.
