Used very sparingly in my office, I boxed these up when I began working out of my home instead. As a result these are in excellent condition. This is similar to the Fatman (more than similar, exact would come to mind) brand tube system which sells for insane prices, I have this priced to sell. Included is the tube integrated amp, ipod dock, remote, speakers, all cabling (speakers, interconnects, etc), white gloves, dust brush, etc...$200 plus shipping. Shipping will be a flat $35 anywhere in the continental US via FEDEX ground. This is a beautifully crafted system and sounds great as well. Email if interested.

    Lots of people on here bought these a few years back. Very surprising audio quality. It's got 2 line level inputs so you can add another source.....like a Squeezebox :^ ) I've still got mine and we use it when we're on the treadmill.

    Outstanding bang for the buck integrated. I just picked one up a few weeks ago and love it. Really is amazing at the sound this little guy produces. A real sleeper for those that don't know about this one.:smile:

    Can the current generation iPod (iPod Touch) work with this setup?

    That's a good question. I assume so but can't verify as I don't have one. I used the classic ipod for this.

    I've got one of these little beauties & I love it. H9 upgraded my tubes & the unit really sounds nice, especially given the price. It's really amazing & easily worth the asking price.

    As to whether or not the Touch works with it, not sure. My iPhone4 does not. Whaaaaaa!

    Anything that can connect via L and R RCA interconnects should work fine.
    Hey BottomFeeder...do you play fantasy football?

    If you go to the Fatman website, it lists gen 1 iTouch as compatible, but none of the later ones.

    playing audio from the newer ipods/iphones should not be a problem. even the similarly 'old' polk i-sonic es2 can play audio from the newer ipods despite not being fully compatible. where the i-sonic es2 has a problem with the newer ipods is with the i-sonic remote not being able to control the ipod and with it not being able to display the song/artist info on the internal display. but since the htc/fatman do not have an lcd that displays the song info the only possible incompatibility is whether or not the remote can change songs on the newer ipods.

    ps. this is a good price for this unit. they sell for much more on ebay, even used.
    pps. sellers on ebay state that the fatman plays from the newer ipods/iphones, but they don't say anything about the remote control functionality.
