This micro tube amp has been floating around for a long time now. In case you’ve never heard of it, here it is again. Crafted by Zvex amps it claims to be the world's smallest production tube amp. Weighing in at one-half watt it can power a 4x12 or any 8 to 16 ohm speaker.

Neve Releases Genesys
Finally! A Neve desk everyone can afford (almost)
For under 50 grand you get a hand built expandable analogue recording console complete with 16 mic/line amps.
"Genesys is made to capture performances. It's for people who want to record real, live musicians into their digital audio workstations with rich, full Neve analogue sound," said Robin Porter, AMS Neve Head of Analogue Design. "It also serves as an excellent studio control surface with comprehensive monitoring and signal routing capabilities. This eliminates the typical hodge-podge of awkwardly interfaced devices, putting a proper console back at the heart of the studio."

Digidesign Mbox 2 Micro
Digidesign releases “Mbox2 Micro” This is no more then a USB dongle for monitoring only! If you plan on recording music, this is not for you. Rather then lugging around a nearly weightless M-box to mix projects, buy the “M-box2 Micro” and it is as simple as a keychain. If you are on a budget, 279 dollars is not a practical solution.

Apogee Duet
The new Duet from Apogee. Same great A/D conversion in a tiny stylish interface, complete with breakout cable. 2 Ins 2 outs , firewire into the computer. Well worth the 500 dollar price tag. I have been waiting a long time for Apogee to design a middle of the road interface that everyone can afford.
This beauty will sound great, just wait and hear!
