In all seriousness, I was joking...I don't think touching the tubes makes a difference, even with oily hands, right? Everything I've ever read on the subject says that the issue is akin to 'snakeoil.' Sorry for the pun.

Don't you know that touching vacuum tubes with your hands imparts oil on the tubes which greatly impacts the sound quality and makes amplifiers explode!!!! Or at least that's what I was told on YouTube.
I think that there is such a concept as not to touch high temperature halogen bulbs for automotive use because the natural oils on the fingers can cause damage and breakage of such bulbs. What happens if you touch a halogen bulb with your fingers?
You should never touch a halogen light bulb with your bare hands. Sounds strange, doesn't it? Well, there is actually good reason to avoid contact with the surface of the bulb. The oils on your fingers and skin can damage the quartz glass which creates a hot spot on the surface of the bulb when illuminated.

Preferably cryo treated ones, and if you're OCD, quantum-tunneled too. And I shouldn't even have to say to be sure they are demagnetized first. As we all know, the benefits of demagnetizing are not limited to the aluminum layer in your CD's.

I was being sarcastic, but yeah, it's ridiculous and doesn't make sense at all.
