The "warmer" effect is not the hum. I have read it's how the amps process harmonics (odd ones vs even ones) and that this effect is actually measurable through testing equipment.

It's the fifth harmonic isn't it? I would disagree with zw123456's "whatever" with regard to analogue systems.

(It isn't just the look of valves - they keep your room warm too!)
