Bowers & Wilkins have recently launched what has to be one of the most stylish iPod docks on the market – The Zeppelin.
It combines outstanding digital sound quality with an exterior that is a piece of art in its own right. It is intelligently designed with ergonomic thought and beautiful, 360 degree, visual appeal. Believe it or not, Bowers and Wilkins have their own ‘Professional Listener’- Dr John Dibb- to test the quality of each of the speakers they produce!
The Zeppelin was also recently awarded ‘Best Consumer Audio Product’ at the 2008 MacWorld awards.
The delectable Amphion Krypton 2 Speakers retail for £10,000 ($19,500 approx) but are considered by many to be cheap as chips. Favourable comparisons have been made with rival products selling for twice as much.
In essence what we’re saying here is that the Amphion Krypton 2 Speakers are a high end product at a pretty reasonable price.

CD’s are old technology in my book, but the Shanling CD-T300 Pro CD does a pretty good job of breathing new life into this medium.
The funky science fiction styling is what you notice first with the CD-T300. Manufactured from aluminium, it weighs in at 11kg and includes two remote controls. One of these is simplistic, the other incorporates tweaks for just about anything you can imagine. e.g it can change the unsampling rate to the four amplification valves that can be seen through cut outs in the lid and body. These valves offer pretty extraordinary sound quality. However, the trade off is that they are very power hungry. But then you aren’t going to worry about that too much if your getting one of the best CD players on the planet.
