Default Interconnect Cable Suggestions

Looking for an interconnect cable that is not so expensive that it will make my wallet collapse into itself, but will also be a good match for my iPod. Also, do they all come so short? I realize that you don't want one to be 12 feet long, but these little six inch jobs don't seem hardly long enough to even get a bend in it without causing lots of stress on the input jacks. Any suggestions? Thanks.

depends really what you want... u can go cheap and get a cheapo one... or you can go break your wallet and get a really nice one.

also, length can vary, really depends on what u want =O. im pretty sure u can find some Headfiers that would build u an LOD / interconnect for a cheap / decent price

TSi...thanks for the response. Can you be more specific? Are there cheapo ones that I should definitely stay away from? While I really don't want to spend a lot of money, I am not opposed to spending a fair price for a good quality cable.

Can you suggest some Headfiers who might be in the cable building business so I can do some more inquiry? Thanks.

Also barqy and TURBO among others.

I've had a couple made by stevenkelby personally, and they're of excellent quality.
