First of all what can I say! I'm not one to writer reviews but this product is So good I feel compelled to share it others! Anyway, it arrived yesterday, the packaging is second to none, very well protected. The unit itself, pictures do not do it any justice. It's a perfect combination of both the old and new school music systems. Being a DJ, for a while I've been looking for a system that allows near reproduction of analogue (vinyl) sound but at the same time doesn't occupy half the wall and floor space! I listen to a lot of reggae music and have spent (wasted!?) money buying portable systems but none could quiet match the sound quality I was after. I recently settled for a Bose sound wave system, but despite the price tag and reviews, the sound reproduction is unsatisfactory for the type of music I listen to. When I saw the ad on a tube to work, I thought, "...at last, could it be? All my prayers have been answered!" A device that produces digital sound via a traditional analogue route! When I got home, read the internet reviews etc and without haste placed my order! Soundwise does it live up to expectations? Hell, yes!!!! With seperate bass and treble (rather than "hi/lo")controls on the remote the sound is rich, punchy and distortion free. Speakers are very well designed, compact and robust! Using the fully functional remote control, I was able to scroll through the music menus, albums, playlists etc on my iPhone which is a big plus! Surprisingly the unit comes supplied with proper banana plug speaker cables! No more cutting and stripping bare wires! Other plus points, you can add seperates (CD player, turntable, casette deck..for those who still have them!)to the system with the supplied phono cables! what more can one ask for!?! Also, it has the "traditional" old style volume adjustment knobs on the fascia! But what really sets it off is the coloured VU meter on the valve that flickers in time with the music. Its so mesmirising! My mates all sat there staring and marvelling at the unit. One of them is already seriously thinking of purchasing one! In summary, if you're a minimalist and a TRUE audiophile, this is (currently) the best sub-£300 unit you can purchase for your iPhone/iPod. Forget all those other cheaper, gimicky docking "sound" systems. Save your money and buy this..you won't regret it. It looks as gorgeous as it sounds and is worth every penny.

I've never felt moved to write a review on anything before, but this really deserves it. It's a great product. Fabulous sound, you won't be disappointed.
I never thought anything could make mp3 sound good - the problem is the data compression, far worse even than CDs. My main hifi is a high-end vinyl valve-based system by Audio Note, and for the money this Logic3 more than holds its own!
Good soundstage, realistic and exciting delivery of instruments and voice. Can't fault it. What I find about valve amplification is that it does not become wearing on the listener over time, like traditional solid-state does.
Comes complete with decent bookshelf speakers, high-quality speaker cable (unusual at this price) of 2x1.5m or so, remote control which does operate an iPhone 3G (put it in airplane mode and it works fine, and reverts back automatically when you disconnect). Good quality docking station.
And it all looks very cool, with a faint glow from the valves. Even the wife likes it...

An overall excellent product! I was thinking about buying the Fatman version, but for a cheaper price and high specs, this really does blow your ears away!!! A great investment for anyone that loves pure audio and clarity whilst listening to their music. The design is great too! 5 starts to Logic3!! :-)

this ipod amp in my view is the best on the market it looks great and sounds lovely with a real deep rich sound. although the remote is not as great as the rest of the system. and the volume wont make your ears bleed.
but overall a great system

The sound will blow you away, they look so cool with valves, just wonderful piece of kit, love em.
