And at least I can drop a transistor on the floor without too much damage ;-)

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.
