the amp &/or possibly a preamp. Unless you go with active speakers. Holy crap, have you priced most active speakers these days? If/when my Active 40s go kaput, I'm screwed. Anyway, either way, you're still talking a lot more money than the ADMs. I'm not trying to sell the ADMs, but, I think ideas like this can launch young enthusiasts into our hobby.

"Most digital music is etched and hard. Mp3 files are almost unlistenable and through your computers sound card, even wav files are not much better. However, if you take these files, transfer them digitally to an on board digital to analog converter, run that signal through a "tube" preamp and power it with a high-current amplifier, the results are amazing! This is what you can do with a Peachtree Audio with a simple one cable hook-up.
Now all the time, effort and money you've spent ripping CD's and downloading music is rewarded with truly incredible sound. Although our company is a big believer in lossless encoding, even compressed MP3 files sound very close to the original CD when played through our "New Millennium" integrated amplifiers."
Whatever ails you, our vacuum tube will fix it. Just looking at the tube through the little window in the front panel will make everything sound better.

That marketing piece looks like it was written for somewhat retarded beginners; the one from AVI is obviously a vehicle for author's biases.
