This is nothing more than one more instance of contemporary retro-nostalgia, or should I say techno-nostalgia.

Just like comeback of vinyl records, cassete tapes, vintage audio and photographic equipment, so they want to reproduce cult status of power-inefficient but acoustically superb vacuum tube amplifiers (although it's probably not amplifier but preamplifier on tubes, beacuse it would require at least 10 gigantic tubes per channel and aproximately 100 kg worth of amplifier to achieve declared power output of 100 watts.

And one more thing: vacuum tube audio technology produces "warmer" and "musical" sound only when it comes to cheap amplifiers. True high-end audio based on vacuum tubes delivers transparent, neutral and "tasteless" sound, which is in fact what true audiphile wants.

So, in other words, Samsung is trying to make money on every sucker who thinks he will benefit from this by stealing the design of Apple HIFI iPod dock and using so-called auidophile technology. Sammy's not first. In fact, there were hundreds of those products for iPod/iPhone in the last 5 years or so...
