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.
