Have you ever switched on a classic tube amp and felt that soft warm glow?

That's how I felt any time that I swtich on my Dynaco ST-70. Those tubes light up, the sound turns smooth, and top quality, which makes the room feel perfect.

It is always a beautiful experience doing so. Do you still have any reliable 60s tube amp that still gives you such a feeling?

I would want to hear which ones it is for you

I totally get the feeling, mate. You see, every time that I fire up my old McIntosh MC275, the tubes start to glow, and my whole room just softens up.

The music comes out quality and smooth, making me feel so relaxed listening to my favourites. I bought it many years ago and have used it most nights.

I can't think of anyone that I've used that gives me that level of warmth. Do you have any that does it for you aside from the ST-70?
