sure it looks fancy, and it will probably sound reasonably for it's price ($450 approx)

I don't know what to think about this, It could be good, but it could be crap too...

but, why build it? IMHO If you use your Ipod as a main source, you probably won't care about tubes, and if you care about quality sound, you won't use your Ipod as a main source.


Anyways,
what do you guys think about this?

These will sell to a few people no doubt; (granted not me).

Who said anything about your iPod being your main source? People will buy these to listen in their work places, for example. Tube sound is tube sound regardless of whether the source is compressed or not; (believe me, I have CDs that dont' sound any better than MP3 at 256 bps). Besides, some people do store lossless on their iPods. What? Don't they make 80 Gig models these days?
