Yamaha's been the go-to company when it comes to iPod docks that are a
notch above average, and the outfit's latest is no different. It's a
me-too world out there, and somehow the TSX-140 manages to set itself
apart by offering an eye-pleasing motif alongside an IntelliAlarm
feature. Put simply, the latter allow users to be awoken by music on
their iPod, but rather than blasting firmly at 11 when the clock
strikes way-too-early, it gradually ups the volume until your brain is
alert enough to obliterate the snooze button. As expected, there's an
iPod docking port on the top as well as a USB port, and you'll find a
pair of 3.5-inch ported bass reflex speakers beneath the Earthy
exterior. In addition to the illuminated buttons on the top panel,
three front panel controls give access to source, volume, radio
presets, alarm clock and equalizer functions, and while Yamaha claims
that this guy provides "a gentle, stress-free feeling that makes
waking up a pleasure," we're guessing it'll still be a chore doing
everything after.
