Lars & Ivan Handmade PA-40Ti Hybrid Amplifier iPod Docking Station is Out Of This World

We’ve posted about a fair few iPod docks in our time but, whilst we’ve undoubtedly featured some extremely desirable systems with which your trusty iPod can be mated, this PA-40Ti Hybrid Amplifier iPod Docking station from Lars & Ivan is certainly one of the most aesthetically distinctive.

Looking like (what we imagine to be) part of a control panel from some curious, top secret black project from Area 51, the PA-40Ti Hybrid Amplifier iPod Docking station comes complete with exposed vacuum tubes (which is a sure way to impress us) as well as beautifully retro styled controls lit with blue LED backlighting and, as well as serving as an iPod docking station also supports phono, CD, and Aux inputs to allow a wide range of audio equipment to be hooked up.

Available in either gray or white the handmade PA-40Ti, which measures in at 91(H) x 232(W) x 356(D) mm and weighs 4kg, offers 40 watts RMS of output with a frequency response of 22Hz~22kHz, a signal to noise ratio of 67dB and a dynamic range of -55dB and retails for around $450.
