Default 6G ipod line out dock cable

I have been getting a lot of emails asking about the new 6G ipod and if my line out dock cable will work with it. the answer is yes it will work fine and the pinning is the same nothing has changed in the audio department.

Thanks

Ken

What about the Touch? Does this have the same issue as the iPhone?

Thats great news as I just SOLD all my standard ALO docks! LOL!!

I will be needing a new one Ken. Any suggestion as to what cable is a good combo with it yet?


Vinnie mentioned it not being as warm maybe a Jumbo Cryo with NO SILVER is the way to go o a 6G. Post your thoughts!

If you go Jumbo Cryo get a four wire LOD. Killer sound.

This is a cable I made in limited numbers. If anyone wants on I can build them on order. They are difficult to make because I have to bore out the inside of the Canare mini plug to accommodate the girth of the 4 wires. The difficulty goes way up also because I have to be careful of shoring on the ipod connector and mini plug ends. Its like soldering tree stumps to a toothpick not cheap - $220 but is arguably the best sounding LOD I make. Also keep in mind that Canare F-12 is has a large barrel. Its hands down the best sounding mini plug on the planet but large. I use it with my Hornet and similar size headphone amps no problem.

That would be a "Super Cotton Dock"

The Silver VS Copper will go no where. That is a personal preference that is going to change from person to person. I do have a 6G and find the combo 4 wire Jumbo to be excellent as I feel the 6G (at bit analytical) can benefit from the warmth of the 4 wire JC dock.

Hey deflash,

SH to Germany is via air mail and is $11. This is the only picture I have of one. This one is a bit longer than I would be making them.

What is the "issue" with the iPhone. Doesn't it work with a Jumbo Cyro dock?
I tried it once with a custom female cable that I purchased from Ken and it didn't work. What is the issue involved here?
