Hi, I've never seen tubes glow much in a well designed preamp in the fashion you see in the pictures. Generally a tube really aglow is not a good sign and you can generally expect trouble. I guess your assumption about advertising hype is correct and if I were you, I'd relax and enjoy the music. Regards,

Hello, i purchased a used sunfire tube preamp off of the web. it seems to be working fine, the 1 thing i don't get is, the tubes don't seem to glow like in the pictures of this uint that i see on the web. There is a little light in front of each tube, and that light iluminates the tubes a bit, but nothing like the firey red glow i see when looking at the pics of this unit on the web, do u think there could be something wrong with my unit? or, Does the unit have to be on for hours for the tubes to really get going? Or lastly, are the firey looks of tubes in the pictures made that way just to make the product look more attractive to perspective buyers? can anyone clear this up for me?
Regards
Newbie
