Fatman iTube 452 review
Reviews Comparing valve-based amps to transistor-based amp is like comparing vinyl to the compact disc -- both have their strengths, and a preference is subjective. TLA Audio's Fatman brand produces valve-based amps, backed up by years of experience...

Sonic Gear i-Steroid review
Reviews The i-Steroid's valve is very much of the "Hey! First off, the valve is part of the unit's sub-woofer component. Valves are highly sensitive to vibrations, so it seems odd to put the valve stage in the most vibration-prone part of the unit.
