I’m pretty sure that back in the heyday of tubes, the 50s and 60s, no one wore gloves to handle them. Glove wearing may just be more audio tweakery.
Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes?
I wear cloth gloves to change or to test tubes. Does anyone else do this? I see lots of bare fingers handling tubes on ebay. If I ever do touch them with bare skin, I am very quick to wipe with dry cloth after. Just wondering what the rest of the world does. Thanks
