Well I saw a portable tube hybrid amp a few months back but can not remember what it was. Was pretty small and would work great with an ipod. Any help would be appreciated.

TTVJ's Millett Hybrid Amp. There is another one by Little Dot too but I haven't seen it for a while.

I have never heard the tube sound that I know of. How does that compare to a regular portable amp?

do those stuff need batteries?

(Don’t ever let anybody tell you that power supplies don’t affect sound!) Recharging the battery is simply a matter of plugging in the supplied AC adapter and waiting 1-2 hours.
