Are tubes psychological?


This just occurred to me this morning as I listened in my rather dark listening room with the soft glow of tubed amps on the floor in front of me between the speakers: How much of my enjoyment of tubes gear is due to the relaxed state the glow puts my mind in?

Thoughts?

Anything that affects your psych effects how you respond to music.  Plain and simple. 

Yeah, I love anything audio that glows.....   I've never had solid state gear that drew me in like good tube amps can.    Maybe I dont have the $$$ to play in that arena,   but I wouldn't trade my current stuff for anything less than a Dart Zeel.

I like stuff that makes noise, sparkels, blows up, smokes, catches fire, backs the screws out of sheetrock and in general is expensive.

As long as it's someone else's stuff and in someone else's neighborhood.

Please provide video.. :-)

Thankyou in advance for the cheap intertainment. It's funnier than watching Congress say "they paid the bills of the people".. Funniest thing I've ever seen..
I'm just wondering how many TRILLIONS dose it take to pay a Da%N bill, just one time. How much toilet paper can they actually buy?

Well, I like the glow of all my tubes, exception of 845. I like blacked out listening room, 845 ruins that vibe. As a result, had to purchase 845 special edition with black glass, now I can enjoy just like 300b amps.
