Brando's "Tube Delight" isn't What You Think

We'll admit that a soundcard isn't the first thing that came to mind when we heard you could order the "Tube Delight" online. But that's exactly what it is, and it's the funkiest USB audio solution we've ever seen.

The portable PC soundcard comes encased in a transparent vacuum tube with a fade-in-out blue LED for power-on and idle status indication. It supports 16-bit 16KHz/32KHz/48KHz recording and playback with both rated at THD+N -73dB and SNR 85dB, and comes with the obligatory 3.5mm headphone and microphone ports.

Hong Kong vendor Brando has the USB soundcard on sale now for $32, which is as cheap as you'll ever find anyone selling anything having to do with a Tube Delight.

this is a horrible product, its small and you have to connect it from the bottom (making it hard to set up right on anything besides a notebook) and it changes all your sound settings; which is a pain when you remove it from your USB port... IMO dont buy this....

I don't want a bright light shining on my screen of my labtop when I'm playing games. This would be more of a distraction then a nifty little sound maker thingy.

 "with a fade-in-out blue LED for power-on and idle status indication". From that line alone, it inidicates that while there's audio going through the sound device, the LED is off. So while you're gaming, there's no LED on.
