MP3 players like iPod have replaced the walkman, discman, minidisc and similar, and now it looks like the ones which will be replaced are the Stereo Hi-Fi systems. Some iPod amps are just a computer speaker with a dock for connecting the iPod, but others are high quality audio speakers, one of these amps is the iTube.
The iTube is a tube amp for iPod, featuring 2×6N1 (ECC85) and 1×6E2 (EM87), and output impedance of 4 or 8 ohms. The iTube has a iPod dock station, audio and video output cable (for speaker and TV) and aux source cable (for CD players or other MP3 players).
I think these gadgets will completely replace the Hi-Fi systems because you don’t need to have all the music CDs accessible and ordered, you are listening music on the street with iPod, enter home and connect iPod to this amp and continue listening you favorite music. I want one of those! The price is $550.
