Iphone/Ipod speaker docks.

[gazgolf1]

I'm thinking of stepping into the current century and buying one of these thingys. Along with that I'll be buying 2 iphones for me and the missus and whacking all of our CD's on them.Looking for this sort of gadget http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Panasonic-SCHC35-HiFi-cd-Silver-iPod-iPhone-4-dock-/120810057193?pt=AU_Electronics_Portable_Audio_Acce ssories&hash=item1c20d72de9#ht_4857wt_952
So I'm looking for recommendations on speaker docks preferably with a CD player built in, whatcha got?

You wouldn't really need the CD player if you were transferring all the music to iTunes though Gaz.

That's what we did 8)

Yeah I know what you are saying but I thought why not, these look ok http://www.panasonic.com.au/Products/Hi-Fi/Micro+Hi-Fi/SC-HC55DB/Overview

Gaz, just last week we bought a yamaha micro system (mcr-040), can't find a link for you at moment as I am only on the iPod.
It has a cd player,USB connection, fm and digital radio (loving some of the DAB station playlists). We got it for $370 from the good guys, maybe a bit overkill for what you want, but very happy with it.

Thanks Lager, yeah send me the link when you can.

Edit: a friend has the Panasonic, and the sound is not that good - yes I know the ripped songs are lossy, etc.

I have an ihome clock radio and a Bose Wave unit with an iPod dock - both are great, in particular the Bose given its size.

[Lagerlover]

I was looking at those Bose units, did you take them up on the trial period before you bought Alex. Couldn't quite scrape the funds.About a grand for memory??

[Yossarian]

The music will surely sound better on something that looks like it is from the 80's.

No doubt.

Another vote for the yamaha units. I just bought the TSX-130, which is a bit like the one Lagerlover bought, but a slightly different look. Sounds great for the size.

Am looking for one to put in the kitchen/family room to provide some tunes whilst carrying out the household chores. DAB is a must.

I got mine around this time last year - it was $200 off and a free iPod dock but no trial period. I'd heard one before any way and didn't need the trial...

I have an iHome ip90. Works a treat. http://ihomeaudiointl.com/

I had a look at a Yamaha unit in JB today, looked the goods. I've always had Yamaha stereos and they have been great.

Ended up getting the Yamaha MCR-040 per Lagerlovers suggestion, thanks for the tips.

nice one Gaz, hope it serves you well
