Up here in Quebec, It is still quite cold at night.
So I leave my preamp and amplifier on as an additional source of heat. I discovered this quite by accident. After a few late nite listening sessions, aided by a few scotches, I forgot to turn off my amps.
I found the heat in the listening room from the tubes to be a better quality heat. It was warmer, felt better to the skin. I understand this is highly subjective and I can't find the proper adjectives to describe the comfort provided from the tube heat. But it is very real. I challenge others with a better grasp of the english language to define this phenonium better than I can.
I imagine this is not the most efficient use of electrical energy. So maybe someone has already undertaken this study. I would be curious to know if I am selfishly mis using our vital resources.
Anyway, I look forward to warmer weather so I can return to 4 wheeling in the beautiful mountains of northern Quebec.
Have a great day all...
