When I first red this I thought of punch cards and a computer that filled whole rooms

This is the most insane thing ive ever seen in my life. Is this a joke?

Okay, I know that tube amps supposedly sound better than silicon amps...but shouldnt these be built in to a speaker instead of on a motherboard??

At least put it in something like an Extigy box. Yeesh :)

I honestly doubt it sounds better than a decent transistor amp anyway, you are probably playing MP3s and CDs lol...they are already digital formats that wont benefit much from an analog amp. Crazy.
