GLOW USB Amp Looks to Bring Good Sound to the People

After reading this description from the company's website, we're pretty sure that if you cracked open a GLOW Amp One a little bearded hippie would jump out and deliver a lecture about the superiority of the craftsman over the shoddy mass produced product of the factory, with some thoughts on sound quality for the people tossed in for good measure. That's not an indictment of the GLOW USB tube amplifiers per se; it's just that these guys talk a huge game when describing their product: better sound than the big-name manufacturers while throwing conventions like power usage, price, and materials out the window. It's difficult to assess the company's claims without hearing the GLOW Amp One in person, but both the MSRP ($480 through their online store) and the specifications suggest a powerful and versatile tube amplifier for both your digital and analog sound reproduction needs. With a little luck, GLOW just might start an audiophile revolution.
