That tube amp smell

[hai]

Anyone crank their tube amp to about 4 and notice that smell? No i don't mean a burning smell,i mean the same smell you encounter when you go into the room of tube amps at a guitar shop.

Oh yeah. Marantz amps cranked up or, old Radio transmitters running 120% power.

I started out with tubes. im a member on a stereo board and they have a forum for tubes and tube amps only. a lotta guys still like them. they buy junkers and fix em up or build their own
