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?

AND there are the TUBES. Check out those platforms. I’ve seen them at least a dozen times. I think that is Quaalude.. I’m sure I’ll be corrected if I’m wrong.
White dopes on punk! LOL Been a while.

Tubes can look cool on some equipment that puts them out front so all can see, but I have also had tube preamps that do not, and whether it looks cool or not, it the sound is what really matters.

If you can't see them you can't hear the difference? Must be mind over matter!

Really? Maybe I got the odd few dozen valve amps and valve preamps that do sound quit a bit different, from each other and SS equipment. Why would someone own more than one of anything if it didn't sound different. I thought it was because it did, sound different... Just sayin' My STUFF doesn't disappear like some people say. I know exactly what is making noise at my joint. :-)
