Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I have a small SET amp that currently is using 6SJ7 Sovtek tubes in V1 & V2. The tubes sound fine, no complaints. However, the tubes are covered with a metal shell - so we get no warm ambiance from the glow of the tubes.

Can the 6SJ7 Sovtek be replaced with an equivalent tube that is not shielded in metal, one that will glow in the dark?

I know this is a dumb idea, but I had to ask the question.
