iXOOST – Beautiful Car Exhaust Docking Station

iXoost Exhaust Manifold Docking Station

When you throw people who love cars and people who love audio in the same room, you would expect to see a car with a bad ass sound system installed in it. That would be a pretty accurate assumption but we all know one should never assume. Instead of the car with the fancy sound system, the end result is the iXoost docking station for the iPod/iPhone.

The iXoost is entirely hand-built in Modena, Italy with the base built out of a solid block of aluminum and then fitted with eight, ten, or twelve cylinder exhaust manifold which has been twisted and turned into a masterpiece using  five-axis machines.

Desvall Shisha – World’s Most Expensive At $60,000

Custom Desvall Hookahs and Shishas

I’m no shisha/hookah connoisseur but I do enjoy the occasional smoke here and there. I actually talked about my hookah experience a while back and we’ve featured a couple of fancy devices such as the Porsche Design Shisha and the Etienne LeRoy Shisha.

Desvall is offering unique pieces with state of the art engineering while incorporating traditional craftsmanship. Each Desvall Shisha is milled out of a solid block of metal with tolerances down to five hundred of a millimeter. Each metal piece sanded and polished by hand and then individually coated.

Amplifiear by Nonliner Studio – Amplify iPad’s Sound

iPad speaker amplifier

One of the biggest complaints I have about the Apple iPad, other than me wasting hours playing with it, is the lack of a proper speaker and I’m not the only one with this complaint.  Sometimes, when I’m watching videos on the iPad, I put my hand behind the speaker and giving it a round shape to bounce the sounds toward the front, kind of lame but it does work somewhat.

Nonlinear Studio took the idea of using a hand as an amplifier, I guess I wasn’t the only one doing this, and made it into a neat little product.  The product is called “amplifiear” and it looks like a saucer or a plate that’s missing
