 Better than an iPod dock January 6, 2009

I use this with an iPod Classic. It performs a similar function to a standard docking station or a simple headphone cable for connecting to an amplifier but with the following advantages:
* Remote control allows access to all menu functions - the iPod version did not control the Classic - plus a couple of extra direct functions like shuffle and repeat.
* Volume is good through the hi-fi and seems to be properly matched so the tone is right, (headphone socket is reduced volume and muffled which is why it is worth having some form of docking station that takes the output from the iPod connector).
* Uses own power supply so don't need an iPod charger and iPod cable which are separate purchases with the iPod dock.
* Leaves volume setting on iPod alone which means can use headphones without blowing ears off or use hi-fi without fiddling around first - and blowing ears off when changing to another source.
Comes with a 3.5mm cable so you may need to get a 3.5mm to RCA phono adapter to connect to your hi-fi (I've acquired oodles of these over the years).
So it works out cheaper than the iPod dock for connecting to hi-fi and works better. (Note that it does not connect to a PC like the iPod Dock).
Pure Docking Station December 29, 2008

I bought this as a compromise after getting a 120gb Ipod Classic for Xmas. As the intention was to connect my Ipod to my hi-fi I wanted the Denon Docking Station but the retailer did not have one in stock but recommended the Pure version as not only superior but less than half the price. Now I cannot say if it is superior but less that half the price I can confirm. This is a lovely bit of kit and unlike the Denon it comes with a remote so you do not put any stress on the Ipod connection whilst it is in the docking station. The only accessory I had to but was the cable to connect to my amplifier. Now I am cooking on gas (as they say) and am a very happy bunny.
Really Very, Very Good January 28, 2009

Right I'll be honest, new to the whole iPod thing but have an iPod touch 2G 16GB and was looking for a cheap way to get a decent line level (not headphone level, which is lower) to my surround sound system which for those of you who are interested is Pioneer with Celestion pod speakers and a sub. This unit does that very, very well, none of the flabby bass and sibilent treble you get going through the h/phone socket. The sound is surprisingly good, presenting a clear and tight soundstage. For £30 or whatever the price is today you can't go wrong with this, the remote works well but that's a bonus really, it's the sound that counts. Only gripe (which is a very unfair one really) is that if you have a protective case on your iPod you can't use the adaptors that Pure supply as the Ipod wont fit snuggly into the dock, but this would be true of any dock I guess. I leave my iPod in it's protective case and just plug it straight in without an adaptor - works fine. Genuinely - a great and cheap-ish solution to the problem, yes you'll need a 3.5 h/phone to 2x phono lead for a hi-fi connection but that's no problem. Great little product.PURE VL-61119 i-10 Powered iPod Dock with Remote Control
Much better value and more versatile than the apple ipod dock October 11, 2009

I was due to upgrade as we have a couple of iphones at home and the old apple doc wasn't compatible. I did a little research online and called Pure before purchasing as it wasn't explicit as to whether this would work with the iphone 3g. They said that it might come up with a message on the phone screen but that it would work and it does. The remote is also good with variety of choices, including volume, shuffle and you can select from the ipod menu which is more than you get with the tiddly apple remote.
Excellent iPod dock February 2, 2009

I bought this after much research in an attempt to find an iPod dock that allows full remote control functions (unlike the apple one). I am extremely impressed with all aspects of this dock. It is built to a very high standard and comes with all required accessories - power adapter, dock adapters, and audio-out cable (3.5mm - 3.5mm jack). All the remote functions work as they should and everything is controllable from the remote. The remote also has a very impressive operating range. The volume function actually appears to amplify the output signal, as opposed to just controlling the iPods volume output. I have it plugged into my seperates system, and it sounds awesome! So, all in all no complaints, only praise for this impressive and very good value dock. I suppose lack of video output is the only downfall, but I only use my iPod for audio. Incidentally it is compatible with the new generation iPod 120gb Classic.
