I once owned a Knight transistorized amp that used incandescent bulbs
in the output stage to limit current. When you had some brighteness,
you had a problem.

I remember that it was the very worst-sounding amplifier that I ever
owned.


Heh heh. I have a Knight kit-built amp that glows too, but that's a bias
problem in the tube output...

....No, I don't use it regularly...
