Or "How to make your tube gear look like a prop from a bad '50's sci-fi movie".
Can they be significantly more efficient than these?

I like the "Infrared Coating", whatever that is supposed to do...  ;D

Well, actually it's not totally stupid. It's described as a surface treatment that helps conveying heat from the tube to the crown. So I guess it's just some kind of matte black finish. Now, does it compensates the reduced convection effect?...

I like jamming set-screws against glass and heating the glass.

Shouldn't that be deeper cleaner brass?

it's like a brass hat for the tubes. Perhaps the hat keeps in the warmth making for happier tubes  so they sound better ;D
