I've never seen one of these before. Think it's a step in the right direction???

Hmmm......tubes for the sake of tubes. Seems to be the thought in alot of this inexpensive tube gear.
I auditioned a Fatman recently and wasn't impressed. A $50 Sony boombox produces smoother, wider range sound IMHO.
Save your $$ and buy a nice used little H/K, Scott or Knight amp. They actually put serious thought into their designs instead of mere marketing motives.

Calling tube amps an 'eye sore' as that ad does doesn't sit well with me; it's akin to saying 'it's pretty and uses tubes! you have to buy it because other stuff is ugly!'

My 2 cents.

Trust me... I wasn't thinking about buying it. If I wanted something to hook my MP3 player up to I have and house and garage FULL of gear that would fit the bill nicely.
I just thought it was interesting that they're making stuff like this.
