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. And in case you missed the giant photos, it looks kind of awesome.
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. That's a big price, but you can bet you'll run into very few people with a setup like this.

发烧友新宠：当iPod遇见了CD和真空管
Shanling的MC-30组合音响证明了并不是所有的iPod dock看起来都一样。整套产品不仅有iPod支持器，还有一个高保真的CD播放器，内置AM/FM收音机，以及单声道真空管后置放大器。
底座是用亚光铝制成，并且有一些页晶加亮区。它的支架并不是用来做装饰的，并且它前面的两个支架上，类似盖帽的东西藏有输入选择器和音量调节装置。看了这些你是不是兴奋得忘乎所以了？那么现在要告诉你价格了：每套售价1000美金。这真是贵得有点离谱了，所以可以打赌，很少会有如此有品位又舍得花钱的人买下这样一套发烧工具。
