Are any who made high-gain phonostages dealt with vibration damping tube sockets? Since I’m thinking not about my next generation of 85dB gain two-stages phonocorrector:

I wonder what kind tube sockets I will be using in that beast. The 7788 is the highest gain pentode (with necessary bias), best sounding while having the lowers noise available. It is perfect for phono but with gain over 500 times it is better to put it on something very ‘not ringy”. In my former 7788-7721 I used Pearl Audio shock-mount tube sockets:

they were very good sonically but they were flimsy, made the layout uncomfortable and not as compact at it could be. Probably I will be unsung them again, only with better thinking this time. Stil; I wonder if anything ease available out there?

For instance I was wondering if anyone tried the Korean company Allnic?  They make very interning solution that called Absorb-GEL. Brits sell this gismo… expansive but who know how affective?

The TNT folks made writhe up about it:

but I still have no idea how it works.

The good part that I do like that the gismo might be used a supplement of any default socket…. I kind of like it. As far as I know no one sell them in US. So, here is the offer:  if some kind of freak takes on the Absorb-GEL then shot me an email - I would buy a pair of them to try. If they work then I do not see why I would not use the same solution at 6E6P for the super Mils HF channel as those tetrodes are “vulnerable” as well.
