Are you a serious music lover that wants a home for your iPod with a warm analogue sound combined with the ease of use of todays digital technology? If so we might have found what you have been looking for in the Fatman iTube iPod docking station.
The Fatman iTube valve dock and speaker bundle features an iPod dock that is compatible with all iPods except for the iPod Shuffle, and the Fatman 2-way bookshelf speakers comes in a black high-gloss finish making them look good anywhere in your house or apartment. The iPod dock also comes with video-out so you can connect it to your tv and watch video and images from your iPod as well.
The vacuum tube valve amplifier provides you with that classic smooth analogue sound experience that you miss from many of the other iPod docking stations out there. On the downside the power output could have been slightly better if you have a huge house and want to keep the neighbours awake when you are trying a houseparty.
