A Taiwanese company has given the iPod a retro spin with a docking station that features an elegant 1940s-style valve amplifier. People who read this also read: People Who Like This Also Like Recommendations by Loomia It’s an unusual marriage of digital high-tech and classic analogue technology that has turned heads at the Computex trade show in Taiwan this week. The iPod rests in a silver docking station with a wooden trim, and next to it sits a matching amp with three illuminated glass valves on top. The dock and the amp together measure about 42 centimeters wide and 15cm deep. The system also includes two 50W-per-channel speakers. It all comes in a glossy black, wood or a leather finish. The system fits any type of dock connector iPod, according to Natascha Lu, director of A-Zone International Co. Ltd., which manufactures the product for sale by other companies. A-Zone already makes more “traditional” iPod stations for vendors including Intempo Digital and Audiovox Corp. The iPod Dock Valve Station just went on sale in Germany for �99 (US$895) and is also available in Japan, Lu said. A-Zone expects it to be on sale soon in France and the U.K., and hopes eventually to tackle the U.S. market. Valve amps were widely used in the 1940s but, because they were bulky and fragile, gave way to transistors in the following decades. They’re making something of a comeback, according to A-Zone president Les Cheng, especially among audiophiles who say they produce better-quality sound. At one point A-Zone had its valve amps custom-made, which was expensive, but it now buys them from a manufacturer in China, Cheng said.
