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


I like to enjoy my system and music at night in dim light. Bright blue LEDs on my amp, conditioner, etc, if not covered over by tape or some other DYI solution, are distracting and ruin the soft incandescent ambience I’ve worked to create for my listening area. I’m not selling my Pass XA30.8, but I do have a foam circular cutout to block the blue glow.

Would anyone here mourn the demise of bright blue (or red, or green) LEDs in audio?

Blah blah blah. Blue Tack. Perfect solution. Anybody tried it? No? No. Of course not. That would be constructive, learning, getting somewhere. That we must avoid at all costs. Come here to mindlessly blather, we do. That is the level of the crowd being referred to. The level that could easily in minutes test something out (cable elevators, cough cough) but that must never be done. It risks demonstrating someone was right. Or confirming what others suspect, that you really cannot hear after all.

Seriously. When is someone going to recommend hiring a lighting consultant? Or at least an electrician? To change out your diodes.

Dopey blather is by definition to be dismissed. Condescension by the way is stooping to the level of one’s inferiors. That can’t be right. Stooping would never get us even close. We will now go away and leave you free to ponder your uselessness- which stems from being exactly the same as the others.
Yeah Tim but by now you must know the level of this crowd. I'm surprised they aren't all "you need room lighting correction" and "hire a lighting consultant" and "can anyone recommend a professional in the Phoenix area to come set up the lighting in my room?" 
Real audiophiles have zero negative feedback light emitting rectifier diode tubes. 
Brother. So tacky. Can't believe you guys some times. Blue Tack. Tiny little balls of Blu-Tack. Molds easily to any situation and the right size and shape its darn near invisible and you can tailor to get just the right amount of light that you want. Then if you're really obsessed with appearance once you get it just right touch it up with a sharpie or yellow, amber, blue, whatever felt pen and it will be invisible even with the lights on.
