Best Choice for Docking Station for an IPOD


.
I am in need of picking out a good (best for the money)Docking Station for an IPOD.
.
It is for a Christmas present for my Daughters to use with their IPOD's so I am a bit late getting this figured out. Any help in picking out a great sounding Docking Station would be appreciated. The Bose is a bit expensive for what it is.
.
Thanks,
Larry

Bose, expensive for what it is? Really?! Arrrgggghhhh!!!!!
Cello, I just recommended an Onkyo CS 210 shelf system to a friend for use with his iPOD. $170 shipping included and you are in.

Consider replacing the stock speakers and speaker cable with Paradigm Atoms or equivalent, some decent wire and you are well on your way. Then a Signal Cable mini-plug to RCA termination and look out.

BTW, I quizzed him as to the sound quality of the built-in CD player vs the iPOD and he admitted the CD player was superior. Go figure.

Onkyo CS 210 $170 shipped
Paradigms 180
Signal Cable connector 42 shipped
cheap speaker cable 20

roughly $412 and you are there.

Good luck.
