Fatman iTube Valve Dock Mk II

100% of the reviews on Amazon.co.uk give this product a positive rating.

Lovely build quality and finish ; USB as well as iPod playback ; Great value

No Wi-Fi ; Can't turn it straight back on after turning it off ; Some might prefer a more clinical sound

Perhaps the craziest thing about it all, though, is that to our eyes the whole system is actually rather gorgeous. Especially in a dimly lit room, when the glow of the valves can clearly be seen. Go figure.

Intriguing specification ; smooth, unthreatening and well-integrated sound

Has a comfort zone it can’t be coaxed from ; unnecessarily long-winded volume control(s)

A sound of valve-y warmth and intimacy, but not an all-round champion
