Tube Glow & Home Theater
07/19/11 at 04:39:09

I was watching the big screen this evening, and as I found myself irritated by the LEDs on the equipment I have now as distracting from the immersion experience, I started to wonder: "What the fsck am I going to do about the tube glow headed my way?"

The Zracks will be nice, but they won't hide the tubes. In fact, I don't want to hide the tubes most of the time. I love that glow. But what about when you actually want "lights out"? Any suggestions?

Don't look at the light! Harry the Mosquito: [entranced] I-can't-help-it. It's-so-beautiful. [Harry gets zapped, falls] Harry the Mosquito: Woo hoo!

I have Mk-III's with KT-88's in my setup and its not distracting watching a movie on the projector. It would not be difficult to bend up a cage from perforated metal if it really bothered you.

Tube glow is soft, diffuse, and not irritating. LEDs are an entirely different story. I have been meaning to take some good pics of my HT rig, but the operative term in that phrase is "meaning to."
