Docking With Style

There are people who integrate music in their lifestyle, and sometimes it shows in how they’re dressed. Baggy pants and jerseys are products of the hip-hop culture while black leather is rock’s trademark. When it comes to portable music, the idea holds true: the kind of music that you bother to carry around with you tells a lot about you. That’s the reason why playlists have a tendency to be personal. After all, the songs that you select, classify and label all give an impression about you.

And if you’re going to make an impression, then you might as well do it in style. Presenting the Shanling MC-30 Music Center:

The Shanling MC-30 Music Center is proof that not all iPod docks have to look the same. It comes packed with not only iPod support, but a Hi-Fi CD player, an AM/FM tuner, and a tube power amplifier. The single-ended tube amplifier allows for 3 watts of power per channel to whatever speakers you have hooked up.

The squat chassis is made with brushed aluminum and has some attractive LED highlights. It’s legs aren’t just for show, either, as the caps on its two forward supports act as an input selector and volume control. So now that you’re all excited it’s time to bring you back down to Earth: $1,000 for the unit.
