I think if somebody invest vast money for iMod, AMPs, IEMs and buy cheaper cable which will degrade the sound quality of iMod anyway. So why not buy a realy good cable to enjoy the whole potential of iMOd. Now if somebody don't want to buy those cables with 5G or 5.5G iMod then they simply go with 4G iMod which alow users to buy any mini to mini cable and enjoy the music on iMod. But iMOd is all depend on how good cable are include IEMs and AMPs. So to me it's worth the price if upgrade the whole portable rig.
Ok so that’s the current cable offering at this time. I want to talk about the stuff I have in the works for the new Imod shortly. A cables that will allow you to charge and my most exciting offering, the ALO/RWA Imod Docking Station. This will make your CD player very lonely.
Cheers,
Ken
When will the docks be available Ken and do you have a price point yet?
I assume the Caps etc will be in the dock. Does that mean IMOD users will be able to use existing standard cables and will the dock be rca-rca or mini-rca or ?
More details please!

Hey trose,
I am still working these iMod Docking stations and am hoping to have some by the first part of July. The way these will work will be such that you plug in your iMod to the docking station which sits down on a ipod connector much like the stock Apple dock. Your ipod will be at an angle but supported by the contour of the docking station so you can view the ipod. These will be made entirely out of wood, bamboo, burl wood, Coco bola etc… inside the dock will be some of the finest capacitors you can find. These large caps will be hardwired directly from the pins on the ipod connector to the RCA outs. I will also wire up a panel mount mini out for added convenience, as well as charging to a wall wart. So all you need is a pair of RCA cables to send all the goodness to your AMP. By the way I make some of the best non arm and a leg RCA cables you can find.
For those that have not see the laser etched imod labels they are here:
Vinnie sent me out the IMOD label that will be applied to the back of the 5G Ipod's.
Keep in mind this was my beat up Ipod I sent in. The ones that come from ALO and RedWine will look new if you purchase from them. (correct me if Im wrong vin)
Here's a few pics plus my new IMODED Jumbo Cryo. I will post my other custom Imod cable shortly.
Here was an attempt at some cool photos. Vinnie had sent me 1 extra sticker because I wasnt sure it would fit in the Ilussion Case (whick it does just barley).
So I slapped one on the front because the one on the IPOD will never be seen except by me.
My wife was real pleased to hold the other side of the comforter!!! LOL!!!

This special ipod dock was JUST the thing I've been waiting for...thank you so much Ken! I plan to use the RCA out with some Jena Fugue RCAs.
So if I am understanding this correctly, this is a special dock that would require a IMODed ipod?? So instead of the caps in the ipod dock cable, there will be caps in the dock itself. Sorry, just a little confused but I think I am on the right track here

Also, I really truly hope that Ken can source those Sennheiser HD-650 connectors (Hopefully cryo treated by Jena Labs ) and be able to offer a Jena Wire or Cryo-x silver headphone cable! Man I would SOOOOOOOO be your first customer for that!
Add a balanced version of the cable with a balanced to single-ended adapter and we have reached damn neared perfection!
I would probably add a B-52 amp in the mix and secure my ticket to audio heaven!

Gteetings Shaizada,
Yep the high end V-caps will be inside the docking station and you must use a iMod with it. I suspect, and we are hoping that this set up will be a wonderful home solution for your audio source needs and put your CD player on a long vacation. When you want to be mobile you just pull your iMod from the dock and go.
