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?

Yes the glow of the tubes and warmer sound are therapeutic , and look cool 

with  older tubes you can get with Blue glass,  even newer ones in power tubes 

kt88 and EL34  which are nice .

we justuilt  a addition on the house bigger family room and the Amber Edison bulbs 

give it a cool nostalgic look ,, so yes there is a therapeutic nostalgic aspect to it .
