smell of rarefied air around power supplies and tube anodes.
Ummm... that would be the ozone. If you make a habit of ozone
sniffing, you may want to check if you're exhibiting any symptoms:

I have an ozone generator + filter. In the right PPM it's beneficial
to kill airborne disease. Thanks to that thing I haven't suffered a
cold or flu as long as it's been running.


And now just wait for lung cancer to hit you.


Ah ok. So ozone causes lung cancer?


I don't think there's a cancer link quite yet. However, breathing
ozone causes some rather nasty pulmonary irritation:

There are also hints that it has secondary cardiovascular effects:

and DNA damage:
