I too am shopping for an ipod dock to rca cable. I want to get a nice one, but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg either. I checked out the sites reccommended but I am kind of weary as to what the quality will be like. I mean I know Ken at ALO removes all the other pins from the ipod dock except ground and the right and left channel. Should I worry if other cable manufacturers do this? I mean will the cable be noisier if it has all the other pins in the dock connector? I do love Ken's work but sometimes I wish he had a budget line of cable to choose from...same first rate meticulous workmanship, just cheaper materials. I am looking to enjoy my ipod on the go with my new XP-7!

mr_baseball: I guess times have changed and Head-fiers are getting laid like champs now. (Except I seriously doubt that's the case given all the anime and computer related threads around here..)
Hi, I see it's been almost a month, but I was too looking for this some time ago (decided not to get any at this time ), so if you guys are still interested, the more reasonable ones I noted for myself are offered at Moon Audio
The site uses frames, go to Headphone & Portable Cables, scroll patiently until 60-70% down - Silver Dragon iPod Dock to RCA, $85 for 0.5 ft. Black Dragon, lower, $90. Both look very nice to me. If I were using the iPod more (I prefer listening at home, with a stationary setup), I would get one of these.
I was also considering Monster's AV iPod Dock connector, ~$35 on Amazon.com, assuming there should be no harm just using the audio connects. There are people there complaining it didn't work with their iPods, well, it is an older product, for up until 5.5 G iPods.
And the Nyko cable, mentioned above, I think for either $15 or $25 on Amazon.
There are many more choices for iPod RCA-to-mini, but I understand you get much better SQ connecting through the dock.
Thanks. Looks like a smaller scale production - not necessarily a bad thing...
HeatFan12, can you still tell us how much one should expect to pay (including shipping)? Approximately? This will decide any future interest for many.
I had to look for my last email order from him- I ordered an 8in mini to mini with a TurbodockV11 (pictured)...The mini was $34 + $7 for one right angle, and the TurbodockV11 was $34...Shipped
Last order I placed was 09-07. those were the prices then...
His email- emieses@comcast.net
Contact him and he will send you a pricelist with everything he offers.
The good thing about having a separate dock is that you can use any mini you want. He also offers the Diabolous which is a dock hardwired to a mini.
I have several of his products and I am very happy with them. His customer service is great.
I also have 3 ALO line out docks, which are great, however, they are hardwired to the dock, so you have less flexibity on how you want to use it.
