What's wrong with blue lights? (Disclaimer: no MQA involved.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your tubes look dusty.  Or is it the blue light?

Edit: My new car has Ambient Lighting in the interior and I find myself going between blue and red colors most frequently.

 

Sounds like a bit of a cop-out.

For years I've solved the "piercing blue LED" issue with a dab of permanent black marker onto the very tip of the LED. 

This leaves a gentle blue glow, but masks the piercing bit in the middle - without spoiling the overall look of the equipment. I use a thin tipped write-4-all marker that will stick to any plastic. This for equipment I intend to keep for a long time.

 

For a less permament solution, I cut a small circle of masking tape (or use precut liitle sticky-back paper dots). With some black marker on top of the tape/paper to further darken as necessary. This doesn't look as tidy as the permanent solution.

 

Whilst I hate piercing blue "power-on" LEDs, I'm quite happy with the gentler backlit meters style of Marantz - from what I've seen in the hifi stores, as I've never owned them.

 

 

 

Green marker sounds better.

Both, I'm afraid, they gather dust like hell, cleaning them is a bid of a Sisyphus-job.

Fat, fatter, fattest... We heard this big blue monsters yesterday, during a demo of several McIntosch amps (MA 352, the Anniversary Set, and these behemoths; sorry for the crappy pic).

Blue Light Bad.

 

Apparently the blue light knocked out @AudioDoctor's Roon-o-sphere...

Here's your cure to those pesky bright Blue lights. Drink more booze while listening. Works for me

Awesome wine by the way:

Haha, I'll stick with whiskey and scotch or a good dark beer.

Should I ask or just assume this is a California wine?
