Forget the recession around you. You dont want an iPod dock that will cost you $100 or so from Best Buy, you want the Art Sono . The Art Sono has been built using a solid piece of T6061 aircraft-quality aluminum material, along with carbon fiber trim. The volume control is made in the form of an aluminum flywheel that runs on Formula One style ball bearings. But aside from the industry grade materials, it has also got powerful sonics – it’s the only consumer product to have DWC Aphex technology which is usually found in professional mixing studio. And finally, the Art Sono has one last trick up its sleeve – it can wirelessly send tunes to your stereo, besides charging your iPod / iPhone. So is it worth almost 3K though? Maybe if you can comfort yourself with the fact that it also happens to be a collectible.
