Billed as being ‘designed to exceed the benchmark set for iPod sound performance’, Logic3’s Valve80 iPod Amplifier fuses the ‘yesteryear’ analogue warmth associated with vacuum tubes with a decidedly modern twist on retro styling that results in an iPod and MP3 player docking station that undoubtedly sounds as good as it looks (and that’s no mean feat considering the Valve80’s jaw-dropping styling).

The Logic3 Valve80 iPod Amplifier uses high quality 6N1 and 6E2 vacuum tubes (two of each to be precise) and offers a maximum output of 40W per channel courtesy of two high gloss ‘Piano Black’ lacquer finished speaker units boasting a 1”silk shielded tweeter and a 4” Kevlar bass/mid cone offering a sensitivity of 85db 1 watt/1 meter and, apart from offering docking compatibility with both iPods and iPhones also sports Composite and S-Video outputs just in case you want to view video content from your iPod/iPhone on a television or supplementary screen.

Prove, if ever it were needed, that not all docking stations were made equal, the Logic3 Valve80 iPod Amplifier will set you back around $300 (or just £280 in the UK from Play).
