    It's not a vaccuum tube, it just looks like one. The light is a LED. Tube lights aren't blue anyway.

    @andyo:

    Yeah, if it were orange or even red, I'd probably have bought one. Sure I've never seen a vacuum tube with a circuit board inside it, but that would just be nitpicking - blue light? Just makes it look like anything except what it was designed to look like, lol

    @Dallifornia:

    Well, it does explain why he would have to use the optical output. On my MBP, the analog audio out faintly clicks when changing volume, and I can here bleeps and buzzes when the computer is working on something. It's atrocious if you use in-ear headphones.
