This half-circle shaped station from Lars & Ivan combines a dock for your favorite media player with a powerful tube-based amplifier.

Unlike most iPod docking stereos, Lars & Ivan’s PA-40Ti Hybrid iPod dock skips the built-in speakers, and instead it gives you 40W RMS of stereo amplification that can power the speakers of your choice. The dock provides iPod charging, USB input and video output. The PA-40Ti also has a 4 input selector (Phono/CD/AUX/iPod) with RCA connectivity, a standby function, a stereo headphone output, a pre-amp output for a subwoofer and a remote control.

You can find the Lars & Ivan Hybrid iPod Dock at Belgium’s designgadgets for 233.00€.
