This conversation really intrigues me because I have recently become interested in tube sets.

I won't lie to you...I like the way the look. I'm not too keen on electronics that look like, well, black box electronics. The"appliance" look does nada for me. I liek the fact that tube sets wear their functioning parts on the outside...kinda like motorcycles.

I'd rather have something that is completely invisible, or something which draws the eye because it is unusual. Or a combination of both. After reading this thread, one of the things that occurs to me is combining, say, an Apple mini with a tube set.

The Apple would be hidden out of way and the tube amp woulb be all that is visible of the stereo.

Anyone try anything like this or know of any systems which combine this artistic/unobtrusive duality?

However, I'll be the first to confess that all of this is moot as there is no way I can scrape the dinero for a tube set right now.
