While I do have some knowledge of musical equipment thanks to my dad who is a musician, I’m sure plenty of you out there can spot the difference between an amplifier that is tube-based, and one that is not just by listening to it. If you’re one of those, you’ve got to check out this iPod dock.

It’s a while until my birthday, but if I have any closet admirers out there you may want to start saving up for Arcam’s latest high-end home entertainment lump as I’d really rather like it.

Okay, so the name is on the crummy side of kitsch, but if you’ve fond memories of jiving round the jukebox (or just Fonz memories of Happy Days) and have a spare $7,295 lying around to splash on a hard-drive based audio player, then Rock-Ola’s Nostalgia Music Center might be the gaudy thing for you.

If you read SlashGear’s review of the Terratec NOXON iRadio, you’ll remember that one of the key criticisms of the WiFi radio was its dependence on a mains power supply.

Scottish company Revo believe they’ve solved that problem; their Pico WiFi Radio has a built-in rechargeable battery pack.
