Thanks, ishtob, I'm really going to need loads of it. This diyMod 5G has consumed so much of my time! It only works in theory; I [haven't] actually fixed the lineout Vrms disparity yet. Alas, there's no time for this until after the 20th. Happy studying and shopping to the rest of you.

Yeah, I should have waited till after finals before playing around with it. I just had my first final, and while I did okay AFAIK, it took up lots of time. Maybe you can help me figure out what's gone wrong with mine.

You need to shift wires to the pair of caps with the label 'Z' on them. Check the original post's nano 1G section. You probably have them on C87 and C86. You need to solder your wires to the north ends of C53 and C54. This change shouldn't take too long.

That depends on the type of caps you're using. With most caps, a stripe will indicate the negative end, though some nonpolar caps will have them. Film caps don't care. If you soldered it backwards, as far as I understand capacitors, the sound should still go. Either way, you don't want to do it. The iPod to the lead without the stripe, from the striped lead to the jack. If you're still not getting any sound, you may want to check if the jack is grounded.
