Try This With Your SS Amp

Any evening at home, listening to music and basking in the glow of my tube equipment. Extra bonus, they keep my heating bill down! 🤣

It had Svetlana 6550's. The violet color plasma within the tubes would swirl around. It was memorizing. Alas, no Svetlana tubes being built any more....

I use Class-D amps partially to avoid the waste head. Cooling is just as expensive as heating and local power generation costs are ridiculous. I get my tube "fix" via pre-amps. The tubes get "uncomfortably warm" as opposed to hot. I also opted for a pre that allows me to bypass the tubes or even go completely passive, if I'm in the mood for "ultra accuracy".
