The vacuum valve is back, revived for the iPod era in the i-Steroid amp and 2.1 speaker combo.
Distributor offering two versions: one black, other white, though the black model’s red trim makes it more suitable, perhaps, for the U2 iPod than the regular midnight-hued model. There are three types of i-Steroid, offering either 28W RMS output or 50W. The 28W model comes in two forms one with and the other without an FM tuner. All three ship with a universal iPod dock and a pair of remote controls: one for the iPod, the other for the i-Steroid.

The i-Steroid line is available now, prices range from around ?130 to ?200.
