The intrinsic superiority (or otherwise) of valve amps is a debate that mirrors the CD vs Vinyl one - you may never get a consensus! That said we are not talking about a high-end purchase here, I think you buy a Fatman for the fun of it not to get the ultimate audiophile system. Valve amps tend to have a warmer sound and (I a guessing) that would be

Im have been in IT for 20 years so I can tell that people aren't agreeing because they are arguing different points! PC rules the roost iin business as it's the industry standard, the machines are cheap as chips these days and the range of sotware available is unrivalled.

Assuming that most pople wil not be using the iPad for bulk storage the built in memory seems perfectly adequate. At this price you could achieve multi-room by having an iPad in each room connected to multi-terrabyte NAS solution for less than the cost of a single Beomaster 5/Beoound 5 combo. Simon
