Tired of those cheap iPod docks that don’t deliver the quality and functionality that you want. Well look no more because George is here. This is the first product produced by manufacturer Chestnut Hill Sound. What does it have on the competition you ask? For starters it comes with a unique wireless remote control, which has a turning knob for navigating your iPod’s menus on its high- resolution, back-lit LCD display. When you’re done using the remote it stows easily away in the face of the speaker system. This system runs around $550 but I found it on Amazon for $499. Check out the “Buy this!” link below.

I was beginning to get tired of how iPod docking stations looked. All they have going for them is their design but not much functionality. Now with the Shanling MC-30 you can have it all but it won’t come cheap. This docking station not only plays your iPod but also has a Hi-Fi CD player, an AM/FM tuner, and a tube power amplifier. So how much will you come out of pocket… around $1000 bucks… but who can put a price on cool.
