"Every time I listen to these marvelous little components I am astounded at the unrestrained, rich sound they produce... I can't imagine there's a better sounding system at this price!"

"Alright, lets call Fu a transportable interface to any audio system. You could take it along to your friends place with your laptop and plug your library into his/her system with some killer sound quality. It could also act as the interface to a home system. Let's say you have a nice setup of old audio gear in your garage. Add a Fu-2 and you can set the laptop on your workbench as a source while doing car repairs." "I would have no hesitation in matching the Firestone Pre with Power amps up to and exceeding $2000." "It's dynamic which is how music should sound and it's non fatiguing so it'll give pleasure for long listening sessions. The unit is compact, attractive, and very competitavely priced." "Well, they are CUTE! But beyond that, they are extremely well built and and sounded quite nice." "Crisp instrument separation. Percussions are nicely defined."

"Its size is just right for your desk, or a bedside table. It's also small enough to take on trips, and seems like a perfect match for Apple's iPod."

"Overall I find the Fubar-II a lovable puppy. It competes well with the soundcards (Emu 1820m and 1212m) in my floor-bound PCs, and offers high quality output from my laptop. I give it extra credit for the solid RCA outputs."

"It transformed my IBM laptop when playing back CDs, stored tracks or even Internet radio. This little dynamo gave me valuable insights into the growing market for harddrive-based systems. Playing back EAC-ripped tracks via the bargain-priced Fubar was almost as satisfying as spinning discs on the Minimax or the Cairn Fog v2.0. In fact, in terms of low-level noise and rhythmic drive, the laptop setup was superior."

"The Cute is also exceedingly well built and ergonomically delightful. Of the three amps, I enjoyed interfacing with the Cute the most. Small and easily portable room to room, fast to come on song from cold and featuring a non- stepped gain control buttery smooth in operation, the little Cute was a joy to use. The Emotion also has a non-stepped gain control but lacked the quality feel of the Cute's. Think of the elegance of Copland and Cello gear. That'll give you a sense of the feel of twiddling the Cute's control knob."

"Believe me, you're not going to have a problem with volume with the Beyond. The thing's insanely powerful. My comfortable listening level with HF-1s is just below the first notch out of 9." "All the Cute equipment were surprisingly well built. The fit and finish were very well executed, especially when one factors in the price (generally less than $200!). The volume knob turns easily and smoothly and all the surfaces are nicely machined aluminum. These would be great dorm room, bedroom, or office desktop equipment. I also really like the mix and match nature of all these colorful little boxes." "The fun and quirky Firestone Battery Cute offers its own set of virtues. The unit is housed in a lightweight yet tough enclosure. Its size is just right for your desk, or a bedside table. It's also small enough to take on trips, and seems like a perfect match for Apple's iPod." "The Firestone has a smooth, non-fatiguing sound that is easy to enjoy for hours on end."

"The Battery Cute is a cool and totally unpretentious little package for under $200. If you like its funky styling, portability, and flexibility, give it a listen. It offers good value for the money, and would make a great gift for the iPod junkie in your life who doesn't realize that there is a whole world of musical enjoyment waiting beyond cheap earbuds."

"At the price range the Cute equipment are real winners and should appeal greatly to anybody!"
