TL Audio began manufacturing professional audio valve
products in 1993, almost single handedly kick-starting the
valve revolution. Respected by producers, sound engineers,
TL Audio valve units are used in studios the world over.
From the outset, our design philosophy at TL Audio has been
to utilise the best qualities of both tube and solid state
circuitry to produce a combination of superb sound and first
class technical performance.
And this mantra has been carried through into our range of
Fatman H-Fi products.
Launched in the autumn of 2006, Fatman has quickly
established its reputation for producing some of the best
performing audio systems for use with Apple’s iPod, or indeed
any portable or fixed media device. All iTube amplifiers have
additional inputs for CD etc., making them fully
comprehensive audio systems for all audio sources.

But why valves? Well, as professional recording artists and
producers discovered, digital with all it’s acknowledged
advantages, was perhaps lacking in one direction... sound.
It could be a little cold and harsh and lacked ‘warmth’. -
That’s where valves come in.
Correctly and sympathetically inserted into the signal path, the
presence of a valves enhances signal quality. The skill in valve
design is in knowing where to place the valves and how to
combine them with state-of-the art solid state circuitry in order
to achieve maximum sonic benefit.
With over a decade’s experience in professional audio, the
people behind Fatman have this skill. And then some.
