Tube amps and iPods

And I know for a fact that Heidegger had an iPod, one of the black ones, but he used it mostly to listen to Kant's podcasts, through a tube amp.

It's not necessarily true that the files on the iPod are compressed, that's entirely up to the user.

It will store and play the same AIFF files that are on a CD, uncompressed WAV files or several different types of compressed files.

I agree with you that what the iPod excels at is ease of use and portability and considering it as a primary music source for a high-end system doesn't make a lot of sense but it is perfectly capable of storing uncompressed files.
