Then again, it uses a lot more memory. I think it's worth it, as I run a 60gig iPod; the little ones won't be able to hold many songs in high quality sound.

Good thing iPods can play back non-lossy file formats as well.

No they don't. Any data lost to the compression process is gone into the bitbucket forever and ever and no amount of audiophile tomfoolery will ever bring them back. Yes, tube amps do sound different than solid state but that's because they're hooked to a musical instrument and not an mp3 player. It is awful pretty though. “Aural details that have been lost as MP3 files are compressed for storage and transmission, dramatically re-emerge through this 25 watts RMS per channel, all-tube pre-amp system.” No they don’t.

The Vintage iPod Tube Amp/Charger has the cool somewhat steampunk/Sci-Fi look of a mad scientists lair. According to the manufacturer, you ca enjoy your playlists with the “warmth and richness only a vintage tube amplifier can provide”. I don’t know about that, but I love the design. Many musicians believe that the harmonic richness and the pure tone of tube-based circuitry can’t be beat. That’s their thinking with this device. Just plug your iPod into the Vintage Amplifier/Charger, sit back with the included remote, and browse through your playlists. They claim that audio details that have been lost in MP3 files through compression, dramatically re-emerge through the 25 watts RMS per channel, all-tube pre-amp system. It will cost you a hefty $800 to find out if they are right. No doubt some of us don’t mind missing out on the differences we can’t hear anyway, at that price.
