Real Wood iPod 289

Posted by timothy on Tuesday July 05, 2005 @04:18AM from the other-people's-hobbies dept.

An anonymous reader submits "People have tried modding their iPods using wood before, but it took the genius of ZapWizard to create the Real Wood iPod. Hand carved from a solid piece of African hardwood to a thickness of just 2mm, the end result has to be seen to be believed. Wood grain is the new Apple White!"

More importantly, the wood enclosure adds a depth and warmth to the music that simply isn't possible with man-made plastics. The resonant frequency of hardwood reduces jitter in the decoding circuit so the result is a higher fidelity experience.

Buy the $1200 Monster Cable with solid mahogany plated connectors and heavy guage bark wire shielding, and you've got yourself an incredible sounding device.

Bedimere: And what else floats in water?

King Arthur: an iPod!

Bedimere: Right! So, if she weighs the same as an iPod, she'd float in water, and she must be made of wood, so.

Villagers: A witch! Burn her!

You're not kidding. I am still working with my CNC machinist on a solid granite back for my limited series U2 iPod. The granite reduces the vibrations from the iPods on board digital clock and from any CMOS gate switching during operation. I've seen some online studies that the granite dampens the vibrations and makes the iPods last a LOT longer (besides the obvious quality difference at the ear..). Are you doing any iPod overclocking or extra cooling? Have you thought about replacing your wall receptacle outlets to feed your iPod the cleanest power?

Unfortunately, due to the loss of the magnetic field reflections when you move to wood from plastic, your storage capacity is reduced to tree gig.

African wood is far too large for an iPod. They are going to be better off using European or Asian wood.
