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?

It could depend on where you put the tubes, and what you've ingested before you're using them. 😉

Have an Amp with six KT88s on top of each monoblock.Generally listen in the dark. Except for the tube glow. Gotta say they make the perfect light once your eyes adjust. Sounds pretty good as well.
