Um, did you even see what he did? The way he has it set up should be more than strong enough. It has absolutely no stress on it...

but why would you do that...you cant pick up the ipod alone to change a song or such...and it WILL break if one unit slips from another.

I would suggest putting velcro on the back of the ipod, that way the ipod and amp are securly held together and there is less risk of teh connector snapping or whatnot.

When travelling with this set, I carry them both in a bag and never pick the iPod alone for changing songs. This piece will give no problems whatsoever in the bag even not when you put that bag on the table. It can even stand on the piece The velcro is a good idea though I used a rubber band up to now.

BTW if you pick up the iPod alone 6" will hardly be enough. When I am at home lying/listening on the couch I hold the iPod solely in my hand but then I have a 10'' cable otherwise you keep 'dragging' that amp along .

Thanks for the nice comments and advise.

Behold the " $6.00,17 minute, no waiting, for web order parts, visit to ratshack" solution to the stupid m-audio audiophile 192 breakout cable problem.

Before it was
A192's 1/4"ts jacks -> 1/4"ts to 1/4" trs Y combiner -> 1/4"-1/8" converter -> monster mini-rca -> amp

Now its
A192's 1/4"ts jacks -> pair of these! -> amp!

I'm not sure I understand how that's sad or ironic...

I like the cable hydrocity, very slim and out of the way, should serve your purpose well.

Finally got me some new parts.



~2.5'
Neutrik RCAs
Belden 1266A
Nylon multifilament

The total cost of this pair... oh... $5. Too bad I have nothing to use them for...
