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.
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?
