Recently bought the Fatman iTUBE Carbon Edition iPod dock with speakers, it looks fantastic and the sound quality is brilliant.

Anyone wanting a standalone valve audio system should definatly get this. Even if you don't know it's valve you want, get it, seriously the quality is so superior. I don't know why valve amplifiers went out of fashion their great. (Well actually I do it's a combination of reasons - but they're still very good, and better quality than transistor equivalents.)

it has iPod dock for any current model, 2 phono lines in and video out, either composite or S-Video.

About £260 for the amp and speakers. Beautiful piano black finish as well. Also no visible joins on the speakers, it's a complete block, the only seperate segment is the base, where you can't see the join because, well it's the bottom...

The rear of the speakers is finished to exactly the same high quality as the rest of it. Which is a detail usually missed.

Amplifier looks nice and simple, only input selection knob, power and volume. But it is in fact still feature rich, just on the remote, so you can alter bass and treble, skip tracks etc. without cluttering the panel of the amplifier.


Highly recommended.
