A vote for amber LED lights on components over blue lights.

     First world problem to be sure.  As mothers have often stated to provide some proper perspective: "Don't you know there are people in the world that are starving to death right now?"

    Discretionary pie hole shutting is sometimes one's best option.

"LEDs under tubes are the worst. Macintosh? "
I agree, noromance.

I like Mac's. I get their thinking with keeping the traditional green, but under the tubes however immediately cheapens the look. Tacky/low rent. If anything, they should use amber, to compliment the tube filament glow. This was done on my phonoamp. Can't really tell it's additional lighting since it matches. The only place green looks appropriate is the meters on my MR71.

Here's the thing with amber-it matches tube glow. Seeing tube glow in a dim room is equal to having a fireplace. We all like to look at a fireplace-soothing.

Looks like someone thought this was the "SAVE THE WORLD" forum?
Lets project some GUILT on everyone's prosperity! Throw your system out the window everyone.

     Com'on men(?), you grasshoppers do realize these little LED lights are just 29 cent diodes and come in a zillion colors, right?
     If you tough guys can swing the cash, use a screwdriver and pick out a non-whine inducing color, then crying time is over, right?

Real audiophiles have zero negative feedback light emitting rectifier diode tubes. 

Hello millercarbon,

     I really don’t understand what all the fuss is about:
1. Didn’t they know the color of their equipment’s diodes prior to purchasing them?
2. Why are all these guys so sensitive to the color of their equipments’ diodes?
     The diodes in each of my monoblock amps and my sub amp are blue, my cc amp’s is green, my music file hard drive has friggin stack of 5 blinking green diode lights with a blue steady blue one underneath, my preamp’s is red and my universal a/v disc player’s is red when off and blue when on. I’ve never given their colors much thought. Although, now that I just did give the overall visual effect of my equipment’s diode color diversity a consideration, I kind of like it but still don’t give a hoot.
3. Nevertheless, if they just don’t like the color of their diodes, why don’t they just grab some pocket change and a screwdriver and fix the problem? How does yapping about it help?

     Anyhow, I’m regretting ever entering this little gripers den clubhouse. I’m thinking it’s best if we just slip back out, before the crying starts, and be on our way.

Later,
Tim
