iPod dock

[b0redom]

Hi All,
So I'm looking for a sound dock for my iPod nano. The Bose dock has got mixed reviews and it's waaay expensive. Can anyone recommend a decent dock? Is the Bose worth it?

Is the Bose worth it?

No Bose is worth the cost.

"No Bose item is worth the cost." you mean Funkstar? (otherwise it can be read two ways - no (the) bose is worth the cost or the way you intended )*

How about getting the official dock & a stereo?

EDIT - *not intending to nit pick - it just threw me and had to read it a couple of times to get what I assume was the correct meaning

[Funkstar]

if i had meant the latter interpretation, i would have written "no, Bose is worth the cost"

but I'll clarify my position anyway

Bose = overpriced, out of date and falsely marketed rubbish

hows that?

Beats me - I'm half asleep

If you want the best quality, you need a very expensive piece of kit - a 3.5mm to phono cable to plug into your hi-fi(about £10ish for a decent one). It will always sound better than a dock(plus one less power point to find).

Starbuck,
That would be great except for the fact that I have no other stereo gear, so by the time I buy a decent amp for a couple of hundred, a decent set of speakers for a couple of hundred and a base for the nano (around 20-30 quid) I'm way over the price for even the Bose unit.

Does anyone actually have a sound dock they can recommend?

Cheers...

add at 3.5mm stereo to phono cable and that will be far better than any iPod dock for the same price

Go for Harmon Soundsticks with a ac adapter charging the iPod while it plays through the soundsticks. Quality is better than any docking station.

If you want Soundsticks, do NOT pay £140 for them. they really aren't worth it. I have a pair i got for under £100 from eBuyer. They aren't realy worth that even, but i wanted them for their looks.
