Qables just started selling the slim iPod dock connectors, and I bought a few of the white ones along with a couple neutrik 3.5mm headphones connectors. I've made a line out dock before, and as you can see a few posts up, it was a failure (well, it worked, just it wasn't pretty).
This one is pretty(or prettier).
I used the PFE sleeved wire that qables sells, some silver solder, and sleeving that I pulled of of an old computer case fan that had a blade broken off of it.
Eventually I'll do a How-To to make iPod line out dock cables. But first I have to get back from vacation in three weeks. I'll let everyone know how it sounds after being on the plane for 12 hours.
Nice to see my stuff in use and nice work too.
I see you widened the dock cable exit a little.
That is the reason I am presently not using this connector for my own cabling, the exit hole is too small. But for the rest it is a good looking connector!

Yeah, I was afraid the wiring I was using wouldn't fit through the hole with the heatshrink on it, so I enlarged it a bit. Turns out I was right, I'm really happy with how it sounds. I'm not sure I'm going to need to make another one!

It's a balanced HD650 cable made using Cardas Headphone cable, stock HD650 connectors and Neutrik XLR's. The cable was mainly built for meets so that I can sample both balanced and single-ended offerings. With that it mind I built the matching adapter so I don't have to swap cables mid-meet. Or I might just throw it on the 580s that I picked up the other day!

Placebo is what's missing, how do I enable that function?
