Thanks for the input! and photos.
Note that the SXC Cryo 18awg also sports a gold plated mini plug and brass handle, black. These are IMO the best mini plug ( Switchcraft 35HDBAU) sold today for our applications used for small portable amplifiers VS the Canare F-12. I also feel that the sound of the Cryo X Silver and the new ALO SXC Cryo is quite similar, very happy about this because they both are doing what I wanted them to do in terms of sound performance. I have lowered the price of the Jumbo Cryo X Silver because I feel that the new ALO SXC Cryo 18g simply has a performance based value that is greater than that of the Jumbo Cryo X Silver -> superb sonics, iTouch/iPhone and backwards compatible with ipods, gold mini plug, a physically softer and more flexible cable = takes the mantel of best ipod line out dock.

Yep, best sounds about right. I now need to discuss with you about maybe my getting an ALO SXC iPhone/Touch cable (not for iMod), so I can use it to feed my portable vCap dock from my iMod, as well as with my 3G iPhone. All I have right now is a couple of $50 generic LOD from barqy for the Vcaps, which have been nice but now I know what I'm missing. If I am not using the iMod/Vcaps then my old Jumbo Cryo Silver X iMod LOD should be acceptable, otherwise I'd offer to trade you for the loaner iMod cable here
Bummer, more wallet damage - I need to take out a health insurance policy for my wallet.
I also have my more complete review on both the ALO SXC XLR interconnects and the ALO SXC mini-RCA interconnect linked here:
Mini-Review ALO SXC XLR balanced interconnects vs Anti-Cables XLR, mmwwhats "Whirly Wisp", and generic Mogami starquad & SPC
Enjoy!
PS: not shag carpet - medium length regular in Macro mode looks just about as cool though...
PPS: I have two Punnisher low profile non-iMod LOD that I haven't had time to test vs the others because they are so new. I might update this later with that. KB, YOU NEED TO CONSIDER MAKING LOW PROFILE LOD THAT HAVE THE CABLE COME OUT OF THE SIDE OF THE DOCK CONNECTOR, WITH A 90 DEGREE 3.5MM PLUG.
