Interesting...
My unit arrived.
"hot" is an understatement -- the tube in the exposed window will burn skin. This thing is dangerous. I am typing with fewer fingers than usual. What made me touch the tube? 'Cause I could. Just like what would happen when it is in the poket of my pocket-tee at the gym.
The charging system is all wrong to the point of insult.
The sound out of the box unmodified is nothing special.
Another head-fi member was at my house, and I lied, telling him I liked it. He listened and said one word "not very good". I guess that's three words, but my skin was burning so I didn't count.
It's better than AM radio.
If you are a DIY'er and want to mod it as per the above, PM me, and we can work a deal (like a bit over postage).
Another possible contender for portable tube?:

I've been considering buying that one for some time, because it looks like it might be good - looks like a ALO Continental V1 clone...But the story above is giving me second thoughts...
