Nostalgia? Valves (tubes) warmer in close proximity, yes. Global warming should make that, on average, less helpful. In the 60's listening to rock music, I could look at the final tubes in a dark room and see the purple glow inside dance with the music. Anyone else? Solid state amps just can't do that. Way cool. I never tried it with cannabis, but probably even better. Other than that memory, and certain trade-offs at big Rf power, I'll say I no longer encourage the glowing bulbs for most things. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
