Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I have heard this too.....

A few years ago I was attempting to play a CD through my tube amp.
I had inadvertently turned the selector switch to the wrong position
on the preamp but thinking that I had the volume all the way down
I turned it up and lo and behold the music started emitting from the
power tubes.

Of course it was just barely audible but fascinated with this I played
with the volume knob for a few seconds and the sound would go up or down with the volume setting.

I don't know what this is but it can't be microphonics, that is caused
by external vibrations shaking the internal structure of the tube.
In this case there were no external vibrations.
