Uber Cool Shanling MC-30 Tube Amplifier iPod Music Center
Following the continuing trend of fusing retro elements in distinctly modern design, the Shanling MC-30 iPod Music Center is far removed from the predominantly plastic affairs of other iPod music centers.
Constructed from brushed aluminium, and consisting of a high quality CD player, a AM/FM radio tuner and a dedicated iPod docking station and packed with a four tube powered amplifier the Shanling MC-30 iPod Music Center offers a Philips VAM-12 pick up mechanism with a CD-7II servo system, for ‘low jitter tracking’, and a Burr-Brown PCM1738 chip for pristine digital to analogue conversion.
The Shanling MC-30 iPod Music Center retails for $995, so it’s not cheap but, as far as aesthetics are concerned we absolutely love it.
