Retro iPod Tube Amp and Charger

This marvelous piece of retro technology is an iPod Tube Amplifier/Charger station, which eschews solid-state electronics for the "the warmth, the harmonic richness and the pure tone of tube-based circuitry."

Plus, it looks good on your desk (but murder on the pocketbook: it’s $800!): Link

    I would think the qualities of a tube amp would ne wasted playing lossy mp3 files.

    yes, those warm tubes are really going to make the uber-compressed high/low portions of my MP3 sound super. I wonder if this same company can render my crazy lossy JPG images in REAL OIL paints so i can share the codecs lossy nature with my friends and co-workers.

    Ah, the benefit of having a tin ear is that music sounds just fine coming in from a cheap radio or a computer speaker ...
